SMS Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Van Leeuwen Ice Cream ("Van Leeuwen," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the Van Leeuwen Heartbeat internal SMS notification program. This program is for Van Leeuwen employees and authorized staff only.

How to sign up (opt-in)

Enrollment is voluntary and for Van Leeuwen employees only. To receive alerts, an authorized employee completes our SMS Sign-Up & Consent form, where they provide their name, work role, and mobile number and check a box giving express consent to receive recurring automated internal dashboard-update text messages. Consent is not a condition of employment, of any purchase, or of access to any Van Leeuwen dashboard or service, and you can opt out at any time by replying STOP.

Information we collect

How we use it

We use this information solely to send internal operational notifications — for example, alerts that a weekly Heartbeat dashboard (inventory, sales, or make schedule) has been refreshed with current data, including a link to view it. We do not use it for marketing or promotional purposes.

No sharing for marketing. Mobile information (including your phone number and consent) is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes, and mobile opt-in data is not shared with any third parties. Information is shared only with service providers (such as our SMS carrier, Twilio) strictly to deliver these messages on our behalf, and only as needed to operate the program.

Message frequency & rates

Message frequency varies (up to one message per weekday per subscribed dashboard). Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Opt-out and help

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message; you will receive no further messages. For help, reply HELP or contact us using the information below.

Data retention & security

We retain this information only as long as needed to operate the program and meet recordkeeping requirements, and we apply reasonable safeguards to protect it.
