Drive-Up Storage – SMS Opt-In Process and Consent Language

Business: Evergreen Property Advisors, LLC DBA Drive-Up Storage
Website: www.drive-upstorage.com

Drive-Up Storage sends account-related (non-marketing) text messages to self-storage tenants who opt in. Tenants opt in in one of two ways, described below. In both methods the SMS consent checkbox is optional, unchecked by default, and separate from the rental agreement signature. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of renting a unit. If the box is not checked, no text messages are sent.

SMS consent checkbox (as shown to tenants)

This is the exact optional SMS consent checkbox tenants see when entering their mobile number. It is unchecked by default and is not required to rent.




Method 1: Online checkout

Location: https://www.drive-upstorage.com/checkout-details/ — the Personal Information step after the customer chooses a facility and unit. Next to the Mobile number field is an optional "SMS OPT IN" checkbox with this exact text:

Yes, I agree to receive account text messages from Drive-Up Storage (payment reminders, past-due notices, gate/access notices and customer service replies). Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.

Checkout can be completed whether or not the box is checked.

Method 2: Paper rental agreement (in the facility office)

The rental agreement includes an optional SMS consent checkbox directly under the phone number fields. The tenant checks the box personally; staff never check it on the tenant's behalf. The exact text on the form:

SMS Consent (optional): I agree to receive account notification text messages from Drive-Up Storage at the cell phone number above, such as payment reminders, past-due and lien notices, gate/access alerts, and account updates. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of rental. See our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms at drive-upstorage.com.
