Ahaidea SMS Program — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy & Opt-In Policy

What this program is

Ahaidea (ahaidea.com) is a Toronto-based Korean-Canadian community classifieds and bulletin board website. This SMS program lets a poster manage a single listing they asked us to publish on their behalf (a job posting, room rental, marketplace item, or general community listing), without needing to create a website account.

How a customer opts in

A customer contacts Ahaidea directly (by phone or in person) and asks us to publish a listing on their behalf. As part of that request, they verbally provide their mobile phone number and explicitly agree to receive a one-time text message containing a secure link to manage that listing. No phone number is ever added to this program without the customer directly requesting it in this way.

Verbal consent script

This is the exact script Ahaidea staff read aloud to the customer, word for word, before any phone number is written down. It is read during the same conversation in which the customer asks us to publish their listing.

How the consent is recorded

The customer must answer "yes" to the question above. Only then does the staff member write the customer's mobile number down and attach it to that listing request, together with the date the consent was given and the name of the staff member who took it. That record is kept for as long as we hold the phone number.

If the customer answers no, or does not answer, nothing is written down: no phone number is stored and no message is ever sent. A number reaches this program in no other way — we do not buy, rent, import or otherwise obtain phone numbers for it.

What messages are sent

Each customer receives a single SMS shortly after their listing is published, containing a link that lets them view, edit, or delete that one listing.

Most of our customers are Korean speakers, so the message is sent in Korean. This is the exact message we send:

The same message in English, for reference:

Message frequency

One message per listing request, sent one time. A customer who never asks us to publish another listing never receives another message. Across all customers this is currently about 20 messages per day, and we do not expect this program to exceed 1,000 messages per month.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply.

Terms of Service

• This program is offered by Ahaidea Corp to customers who ask us to publish a listing on their behalf.
• Messages are transactional service messages relating to the customer's own listing. We do not send marketing or promotional messages through this program.
• The link in the message grants access to view, edit, or delete only the single listing it was issued for. It expires 30 days after it is sent.
• Customers are responsible for keeping their link private, and for the accuracy and legality of the listing content they publish.
• Ahaidea may remove a listing that violates our community rules or applicable law.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Privacy Policy

• What we collect: the mobile phone number the customer verbally gives us, an optional name or business name, and the listing content they ask us to publish.
• Why we collect it: solely to send the one-time management link for that listing, and to let the customer manage it afterwards.
• Who we share it with: nobody, other than our SMS delivery provider (Twilio) as needed to deliver the message. We never sell or rent phone numbers, and we never share them for marketing purposes.
• How long we keep it: the management link expires 30 days after it is sent. Customers may ask us to delete their phone number at any time by emailing info@ahaidea.com.
• Opting out: replying STOP immediately stops all further messages from this program.
