SMS Messaging

Tee Time Social sends SMS messages in the following circumstances:

• Authentication: One-time verification codes sent to your phone number during login.
• Tee Time Invitations: When a registered user invites a personal contact to a golf outing by entering their phone number in the App, a single transactional SMS is sent to that contact on the user's behalf. These messages are user-initiated, not bulk, and not promotional.

Phone numbers entered for invitations are used solely to deliver the one-time invitation message. We do not sell, share, or provide phone numbers to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

Recipients of invitation SMS messages can reply STOP at any time to opt out of future messages. Reply HELP for support information. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on individual user-initiated invite activity.
