SMS Terms for Weather Alerts
StormGeo provides opt-in SMS text message alerts worldwide to employees and authorized users of its client organizations. These alerts communicate lightning proximity, severe weather warnings, and other safety-related notifications. All messages are informational only and form part of StormGeo’s contracted weather and risk communication services.
Program Details
- Opt-In Methods: Depending on the region and program, users may opt in through one of several approved methods:
- Text Keyword (U.S. and Canada): Users in the United States and Canada can text the keyword STORMGEO (case-insensitive) to StormGeo’s toll-free number +1 888 886 1680. Sending this keyword authorizes StormGeo to deliver informational weather alerts associated with the client’s subscribed services and monitored locations.
- Web Form (Future Programs): Certain StormGeo web platforms may allow users to provide their phone number and explicitly consent to receive SMS weather alerts by checking consent boxes during the signup process.
- Existing Regional Programs: In certain countries (for example, in Europe, Asia, and South America), users may already receive alerts through established StormGeo systems or client-provided contact data collected with appropriate consent. These programs continue to operate in accordance with local telecommunications and data protection laws.
- Confirmation Message: For keyword opt-ins, users in the United States and Canada receive an automatic confirmation message: “You’ve successfully joined StormGeo’s weather alert service. You’ll receive alerts once your organization’s subscribed locations are configured. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. Message & data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.”
- Opt-Out and Help: Reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance (where supported). You may also contact our Client Services Team at [email protected].
- Message Origin: In the United States and Canada, messages originate from StormGeo’s toll-free number +1 888 886 1680. In other countries, messages may originate from local or regional numbers or verified sender IDs that comply with local messaging regulations.
- Message Frequency: Frequency varies based on weather activity, region, the client’s subscription configuration, and any configured quiet periods.
- Message Costs: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and country.
- Privacy: Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data-protection laws in each region of operation.
Users are encouraged to review these terms periodically for the latest program details. StormGeo may modify these terms or the SMS alert program as needed to comply with regional telecommunications regulations, evolving industry standards, and service improvements.
