How we collect consent

Guests receive a private invitation containing a code. After entering that code they reach the event page and reply to the invitation themselves. On that form, a guest may optionally enter their own mobile number and separately tick an unchecked consent box. Neither the number nor the consent box is required to reply to the invitation, and the box is never pre-ticked. Hosts cannot opt anyone in — only the guest can, from their own reply.

The event page sits behind that invite code, so it is reproduced here in full. This is the exact wording shown beside the checkbox:

☐Text me updates about the party. Bites & Boos will send occasional texts about this event — day-of details, timing changes, and reminders. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy.

And this is that section of the reply form as a guest sees it:

What we record

When a guest ticks the box we store their number, the fact that they opted in, the moment they did, and the exact wording they were shown — so a consent record can never point at copy that was written later. The stored wording is:

Text me updates about the party. Bites & Boos will send occasional texts about this event — day-of details, timing changes, and reminders. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy.
