Call Complete Opt-In Update Effective Date: December 10, 2024
To comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Telephone Consumer Protection Act regulations (TCPA), we’ve introduced two new opt-in checkboxes for phone and text communication in Call Complete profile settings.
Note: Starting December 10, 2024:
-
Existing Users:
- If an existing user has not explicitly opted in or out, the opt-in toggle will default to "No," but they will still be treated as opted in by the system.
- They will only be considered fully opted out if their profile is updated and saved without opting in.
-
New Users:
- For users created on or after December 10, 2024, the opt-in toggle will default to "No," and they will not be treated as opted in unless explicitly selected during profile creation.
Key Changes:
-
New Opt-In Requirement:
- New profiles must accept opt-ins to enable phone and text functionality.
-
Opt-Out Alert:
- Users opting out will see a pop-up notification explaining they will no longer receive phone or text communications based on their choice.
How to Access the Opt-In Settings:
- Log in to your HappyCo account.
- Navigate to the Call Complete Profile Settings page.
- Locate the new opt-in checkboxes under the Personal Information section.
- Enable or disable the checkboxes for phone and text communication as needed.
- A pop-up alert will appear if you choose to opt out, explaining the impact of your selection.
Impact on Existing Profiles:
- Current profiles are unaffected; opt-ins remain active.
- Only newly created profiles need to explicitly accept the opt-ins.
Why This Update Matters:
- Ensures compliance with FCC and TCPA regulations.
- Protects users and the organization by documenting explicit consent for communications.
