SMS and Text Message Marketing
If you choose to subscribe to Watchtower Brewing Company text messages, we may use your mobile phone number to send marketing messages such as brewery updates, event announcements, promotions, and other Watchtower news.
Because Watchtower Brewing Company is an alcohol-related business, SMS subscribers must satisfy applicable age-verification requirements. We may collect and retain your date of birth for purposes of confirming that you are legally eligible to subscribe to our text message program.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service from Watchtower Brewing Company.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP. You may reply HELP for assistance.
We will not share your SMS opt-in or consent status with third parties for purposes unrelated to providing the messaging program. We may share information necessary to operate the program, including your mobile number, SMS consent information, and related data, with service providers that assist us in delivering text messages, such as messaging platforms, telecommunications providers, and other vendors involved in providing the service.
Watchtower currently uses Klaviyo to help manage and deliver email and SMS marketing communications.
