Purpose: Your privacy policy must clearly explain how you handle personal data, including what information you collect, how you use it, and how you protect it.

Key Points to Include:

1.A description of the types of personal data you collect (e.g., names, phone numbers).
How you use this data (e.g., for SMS notifications, marketing).
An explicit statement that SMS opt-in data and phone numbers will not be shared with third parties. For example:
“We do not share your SMS opt-in information or phone numbers with any third parties.”
Accessibility: Ensure that the privacy policy is easily accessible from all pages of your website, ideally linked in the footer.

2.⁠ ⁠Opt-In Checkbox for SMS Notifications
Functionality: You need to implement an opt-in checkbox that allows users to choose whether they want to receive SMS notifications. This checkbox should be optional, meaning users can submit the form without checking it.

Checkbox Text: The text accompanying the checkbox should be clear and informative. For example:

“By clicking this box, you agree to receive SMS from (Medi Bill Service). You can reply ‘STOP’ to opt-out at any time.”
Design: Make sure the checkbox is placed prominently near the form submission button, but does not interfere with the form submission process if left unchecked.

Implementation Steps
Draft the Privacy Policy: Write your privacy policy, ensuring it meets legal requirements and clearly communicates how you handle data.

Add the Checkbox: In your form code, add the checkbox with the appropriate label and ensure it’s optional.

Test Functionality: After implementing these features, test your website to ensure everything works as intended, including the submission process with and without the checkbox selected.
