SMS Consent & Opt-In Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026  ·  Operated by Ironclad Holdings, Kingston, MA

Overview

Offshore Advantage provides AI-powered voice answering and booking assistance for U.S. charter fishing operators. SMS messaging is used strictly for transactional customer-care purposes under two consent pathways described below. No marketing or promotional content is ever sent. Phone numbers and consent records are never shared, sold, or transferred to any third party.

1. End-Customer Opt-In (Verbal, Recorded)

When a customer calls a captain’s business line and the captain is unavailable, the Offshore Advantage AI receptionist answers and collects the caller’s details. Before any SMS is sent, the AI explicitly asks for consent.

Sample call transcript (redacted)

AI: Thanks for calling KillDay Sportfishing. Cap’s on the water right now — I can grab your details and have him call you back. Can I get your name?

Caller: Yeah, this is [Name].

AI: Great, [Name]. What’s the best callback number?

Caller: [Phone number].

AI: Perfect. Is it okay if I send you a quick text to confirm we got your booking request and let you know when Cap follows up?

Caller: Yeah, that works.

AI: You got it. Cap will be in touch today.

The call only proceeds with SMS confirmation if the caller verbally answers in the affirmative. If the caller declines or does not respond affirmatively, no SMS is sent. Full call recordings and transcripts are retained as evidence of express consent and available on request to verification authorities.

2. Captain Opt-In (Web Form, Written)

Charter captains subscribing to Offshore Advantage complete a signup form that includes a separate, unchecked SMS consent checkbox. The checkbox is not pre-selected, is not a condition of purchase, and must be intentionally checked by the captain.

Consent is never shared

SMS consent is collected separately from acceptance of our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Phone numbers and SMS consent records are never shared, sold, rented, or transferred to any third party, affiliate, partner, or advertising network for any purpose. Consent applies only to messages from Offshore Advantage and the captain you are corresponding with.

Message types

To callers: A single transactional confirmation SMS after verbal opt-in on an inbound call.

To onboarded captains: Lead notifications when a new booking inquiry is captured. No promotional, marketing, or upsell content is sent on this number.
