9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended strictly for adults and homeowners. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process information from individuals under 13 years of age.

10. U.S.-Only Service Area

Koala Cooling operates exclusively within the United States. Our website and services are not designed for or directed to individuals outside of the U.S., and we do not knowingly collect data from foreign residents.

11. SMS / Text Message Communications

Mobile Information Sharing. No mobile information, including phone numbers and SMS opt-in data, will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All categories of information sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy specifically exclude mobile opt-in data and consent. Mobile opt-in data is used only by Koala Cooling and our SMS service provider (Twilio) to deliver the messages you have consented to receive.
Koala Cooling collects two distinct types of consent to send SMS messages, and
these consents are collected separately.
Transactional SMS messages. When you provide your phone number when
scheduling service — whether by calling our office, submitting a service request form
on our website, or booking through our voice assistant — you consent to receive
transactional SMS messages directly related to your service appointment. These
messages may include:
● Booking and appointment confirmations
● Reminders prior to your scheduled appointment
● Technician arrival notifications ("on the way")
● Service completion confirmations
● Quote and estimate notifications
● Other communications directly related to the service you have scheduled

Marketing SMS messages: (review requests). Separately, after a service
appointment is completed, you may be asked — verbally by our technician or via a
follow-up email — whether you consent to receive a one-time SMS message
containing a link to leave a Google review. This is a separate marketing consent.
You may decline this consent without affecting your service in any way, and you will
continue to receive your transactional messages either way. Only customers who provide this separate marketing consent receive review request SMS messages.

Frequency: You will receive no more than 2-4 transactional messages per service
appointment, and no more than one marketing/review-request message per
appointment, only if you have separately consented.
Opt-out. You may reply STOP to any SMS message at any time to immediately opt
out of all future SMS communications from Koala Cooling. You may reply HELP for
assistance. Standard message and data rates may apply.

Data sharing: Phone numbers and SMS opt-in information are not sold, rented, or
shared with any third party for marketing purposes. We use Twilio as our SMS
service provider and ServiceTitan as our customer record system; phone numbers
are stored in these systems solely to provide the services described above.
