Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile Do Not Call Policy

This policy was last updated on October 15, 2014

The Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile and its subsidiaries (collectively Pacific Coast) comply with laws and regulations surrounding Do Not Call, and are committed to protecting and respecting consumers’ rights to privacy with regard to marketing messages.

The Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile has established and implemented written procedures to honor consumers’ requests that they not be called, and appropriate personnel have received training. Procedures include consultation of both the National Do Not Call Registry and internal Do Not Call List prior to making any telephone solicitation.

In addition to complying with the various state and federal regulations of the United States and Canada- those which permit The Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile and its subsidiaries to contact customers who have made an inquiry regarding one of our locations for a specific period of time – we also maintain an Internal Do Not Call Record of those consumers who have requested they be excluded from receiving marketing messages by phone (voice, text, or fax).

To be added to Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile Internal Do Not Call Record, consumers who have made a previous inquiry must provide the number(s) at which they no longer wish to receive marketing messages by phone (voice, text, or fax). The number(s) will be added within five (5) business days of receipt of such request.
This Internal Do Not Call Record is retained by The Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile and its subsidiaries until a consumer makes a new inquiry, thereby agreeing to be contacted at number(s) provided. If no new inquiry is made, the record will be retained for at least five (5) years. If a consumer is listed on the Internal Do Not Call Record, and their name and number are later provided as part of a Personally Developed Referral (PDR), the consumer may not be contacted by telephone unless they personally inquire or verify that they may be taken off of our Internal Do Not Call Record.

A request from a customer to be added to our Internal Do Not Call Record, does not preclude The Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile and its subsidiaries from contacting consumers via email, or direct mail.
Consumers may request a copy of this Policy. Upon receipt of request, we will send a copy via U.S. mail or electronic mail within thirty (30) days. A link to this Policy is included in the footer of all Fanda Mobile / Fanda Mobile marketing materials. This policy does not apply to first or third party collection calls, or to any other call which may be required by law or regulation.
