How we collect text-message consent

Worldwide Snacks Inc. (www.worldwidesnacksinc.com). This page documents the website's text sign-up for carrier and messaging-platform review. It is not a sign-up form.

1. Marketing texts have their own consent control

The only way to join our text program is a standalone, unchecked checkbox next to a mobile-number field. Ticking it consents to one thing: marketing texts from Worldwide Snacks Inc. The box is optional. Nothing else on the site depends on it.

Yes, text me promos, new items and discounts from Worldwide Snacks Inc at this number. Up to 8 msgs/month. Msg & data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

Beside the box are links to our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy. They are links to read, not agreements the box accepts.

The checkbox as it appears on the site, unchecked by default.

2. It is separate from the email sign-up

Visitors first join our Play & Win game with an email address. That step has its own consent line for marketing emails and never involves texts.

The email sign-up step of the Play and Win popup, with its own marketing-email consent line
Step one: email only. Its consent line reads "By signing up you agree to receive marketing emails from Worldwide Snacks Inc. Unsubscribe anytime."

After their first play, visitors are offered a second, optional step: sign up for texts for a bonus play. That is where the checkbox above appears. The "Text me a code" button stays disabled until the box is ticked and a number is entered.

The separate text sign-up step: mobile number field, the unchecked consent checkbox and the Text me a code button
Step two, the text sign-up: its own number field, its own unchecked checkbox, its own button.

3. The number is verified before any marketing text

When the visitor ticks the box and taps "Text me a code", we text a one-time six-digit code to that number. The visitor types it back on the page. Only then is the number subscribed. No marketing text is sent before that.

The code entry step: enter the 6-digit code we texted you
Step three: the code typed back on the page confirms the number.

4. What we text, and how to stop

  • Right after verification, one confirmation text: Worldwide Snacks Inc: You're in! Promos, new items & discounts by text, up to 8 msgs/mo. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.
  • Then promotional texts only: new items, discounts and early access to sales. Up to 8 texts a month.
  • Every text names Worldwide Snacks Inc and carries a STOP line. Replying STOP ends the texts; HELP returns our contact details.
  • We keep the wording, time, page and connection of every opt-in. Mobile numbers and consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing.

A second form, the Black Friday early-access popup, uses the identical checkbox wording and the same code step. It is switched off until the program is approved.
