SMS Notifications
1. Introduction
SMS/text messaging is an optional communication method offered by Essence Global. You will receive SMS/text messages from Essence Global only if you expressly consent to receive them through an available SMS opt-in method. Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of applying for a position, being considered for employment, being placed in a role, or using our services. By providing SMS consent, you agree to receive the types of messages described in this Privacy Policy and any applicable SMS Terms and Conditions.
2. Consent for SMS Communication
You may provide SMS/text messaging consent by voluntarily selecting an SMS consent checkbox on our website or through another expressly designated opt-in method. Providing your phone number alone does not constitute consent to receive SMS messages.
SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of applying for a job, being considered for employment, being placed in a role, or using our services.
Information obtained as part of the SMS consent process, including your mobile phone number and SMS opt-in information, will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
