# 30520: Toll Free verification rejection - Privacy policy mentions sharing opt-in data

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

The Toll-Free phone number verification submission has been reviewed and it was rejected. Messaging traffic on this Toll-Free number is blocked until it's verified.

Verification is one component of ensuring A2P SMS is used by businesses in a legal and compliant manner. The review process looks at the business sending messaging (not the software powering it), the use case, sample content, the web presence, the opt-in/consent collected and associated website terms and privacy policies.

### Possible causes

Your privacy policy contains language indicating that personal data, including opt-in information, may be:

* Shared with third parties
* Sold to other organizations
* Rented to marketing partners
* Transferred to affiliates or other entities

### Possible solutions

* Update your privacy policy to include clear language prohibiting the sharing of opt-in data
* Add specific language such as:

  * "Opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties."
  * "SMS collected information is not shared with third parties or associates."
  * "The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties."
* Ensure your policy explicitly protects messaging consent from being shared or transferred
* Remove any language suggesting opt-in data may be shared
