Marketing consent

The sentence next to the box

When you sign up to Free and its marketing consent, this sentence sits next to an unticked box:

I agree to receive marketing from Snip Circuit and its partners about business growth and advertising services, by email and phone. Unsubscribe any time.

Free costs no money; the marketing consent is how it is paid for, and you are the one who ticks the box.

What it means

Snip Circuit, and the partner named on the partners page (linked from the words "its partners"), may get in touch about business growth and advertising services. Email means emails. Phone means phone calls, including calls from an automated voice. It never means text messages. The partners page is kept out of search engines. It is there so you can see who is meant before you tick.

What we record

The sentence as shown, its version number, the time, your IP address and your browser. If the sentence ever changes, its version number changes too, and a consent you gave before still means the sentence you saw back then.

How to stop it

Any of these, any time:

• The unsubscribe link in a marketing email.
• Reply "stop" to a marketing email.
• Tell the caller to stop, on any marketing call.
• Withdraw marketing consent, on the Account page in your dashboard.

Each one is recorded with how you did it, and the marketing stops.

What stopping the consent does to Free

Free runs on the consent, so withdrawing it ends the deal. Marketing stops straight away. The free plan, without its consent, lasts until the end of the current month, Melbourne time, then ends, unless you pick One Chair or Every Chair or give the consent again from your Account page. Nothing is deleted when you withdraw, and you can ask for the account to be deleted whenever you like.

One Chair and Every Chair

The paid plans carry no marketing consent. Signing up to one ticks no box, and nobody contacts you about advertising services under this consent.

After a paid plan ends

If a paid plan ends and you want to keep going on Free, the same consent sentence and the same empty box come up again, under the same rules.
