We send SMS or text messages only to people who have given prior express consent, and only about what they agreed to. Our inquiry form has two separate text-message boxes. Both are optional and unticked by default, and ticking one is not consent to the other:
You can also ask us in writing to correspond by text. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or of any service we provide. If you make an inquiry without ticking the inquiry box, we do not text you about it.
What we send
With the inquiry box ticked: one confirmation that your inquiry arrived, and your concierge’s replies about it. With the booked-programme box ticked: arrival, transport and schedule details, confirmations, and time-sensitive updates while your week is in progress. We do not send marketing by text.
Message frequency
Message frequency varies. An inquiry confirmation is a single message; after it, your concierge texts to reply to you. For a booked programme we send messages as needed to coordinate it, so volume depends on the complexity of your arrangement and rises in the days around your week. We do not send recurring marketing campaigns by text.
Opting out — reply STOP
You can cancel text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. After you send STOP, we will send one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further text messages from us. To resume, reply START or contact us to opt in again.
Help — reply HELP
Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or email concierge@owntheweek.com. A reply of HELP returns our company name and contact details.
Rates and carrier disclaimer
Message and data rates may apply. Rates are set by your mobile carrier and are your responsibility. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is not guaranteed and can be affected by your carrier, device, and network coverage.
The wording you agree to
The inquiry box on our inquiry form reads: “I agree to receive text messages from Own The Week Co about this inquiry, including a confirmation that it arrived and replies from my concierge. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.” The booked-programme box reads: “I agree to receive text messages from Own The Week Co about my booked programme, including arrival, transport and schedule details. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.” Each is unticked by default, and submitting the form without ticking either is fine.
Mobile information and third parties
No mobile information will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties, except with the messaging providers and subcontractors that help us deliver the messages you have asked for.
