If your software platform enables businesses to send text messages via 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code), ensuring your customers have a properly written and accessible Privacy Policy is a critical part of maintaining compliance.
Mobile carriers, The Campaign Registry (TCR), and the CTIA all require Brands — meaning your customers — to disclose how they collect, use, and protect consumer data through a Privacy Policy. Without it, Campaign registration delays, rejections, or even service disruptions are increasingly likely.
In this post, we’ll explain why Privacy Policies matter for 10DLC compliance, what your customers' policies must include, and how you can help them get it right.
As the software provider, you play an important role in guiding your customers through compliance — and a Privacy Policy is one of the first checkpoints.
Under CTIA guidelines and mobile carrier standards, all Brands (your customers) must maintain an up-to-date Privacy Policy that outlines their data practices related to messaging.
Without a valid Privacy Policy, a Brand’s Campaign may be delayed, rejected, or flagged for non-compliance — causing potential churn or dissatisfaction with your platform.
A proper Privacy Policy:
Your customers’ Privacy Policies don’t have to be complicated — but they do need to cover specific points to meet 10DLC standards:
Important: The Privacy Policy must specifically mention SMS/text messaging activities — not just web or app data collection.
When registering 10DLC Campaigns, customers must provide a direct link to their Privacy Policy.
You should ensure your customers:
During Campaign vetting, DCAs will manually review the link provided — if it's broken, missing, or inadequate, the Campaign will likely be rejected until fixed.
