This policy explains what personal data FriendlyNotifications processes, for what purpose, and on what basis. It applies both to the businesses that use the platform and to the end customers who receive the messages.
There are two distinct roles, and the difference matters:
If you are a customer of a business and want to access, correct or delete your data, you may contact that business directly or contact us and we will route it.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| First and last name | Personalise the greeting and identify the customer for the business. |
| Phone number | Deliver the SMS or WhatsApp message. |
| Email address | Deliver the email message. |
| Date of birth | Know which day to send the birthday greeting. The year is optional and many records do not have it. |
| Completed jobs | Work out when the follow-up message is due. |
| Consent record | Prove that the person authorised receiving messages, and on what terms. Includes the date, the channel and the wording they accepted. |
| Delivery status | Know whether the message arrived, bounced, or the person opted out. |
This section gathers, in one place, the terms of the text messaging program operated by Friendly System Group LLC.
To deliver the messages, strictly necessary data passes through these providers:
| Provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Twilio Inc. | SMS delivery | Estados Unidos |
| Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. | WhatsApp delivery | Irlanda |
| Friendly System Group | Email delivery | Estados Unidos |
Customer data is kept while the business keeps its account active, and is deleted when the business deletes it or closes the account. There is one deliberate exception:
You may at any time request access to your data, correct it, delete it, or stop receiving messages. Opting out is immediate and requires no justification.
In Costa Rica, Law 8968 on the Protection of Persons regarding the Processing of their Personal Data grants these rights, and you may contact PRODHAB.
Access requires a username and password, traffic is encrypted in transit, and each business's data is isolated from the others: no business can see another's customers. Each business's sending credentials are stored encrypted.
