This page explains what information The Skate Doctors collects through our app (theskatedoctors.com), how we use it, and your choices. We're a small local shop, not a big company — this is written in plain language on purpose.
Program name: The Skate Doctors Order Notifications
Description: Providing your phone number when booking is required to identify your order, regardless of whether you choose to receive texts. Separately, an optional, unchecked-by-default checkbox on the booking form lets you choose to receive transactional texts about your order (drop-off instructions and a pickup-ready alert). This is never required to complete a booking.
Message frequency: Varies based on your order activity — typically 2–3 messages per order (booking confirmation, verification code if requested, and a pickup-ready alert).
Msg & data rates may apply.
Opt-out: Reply STOP at any time to a text from us to stop receiving messages.
Help: Reply HELP for assistance, or contact us directly at hello@theskatedoctors.com or in person at 16 Maple Hill Dr.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Providing your phone number when booking is required to identify your order, and does not by itself sign you up for text messages. If you check the optional "Text me updates" box on the booking form, you'll receive transactional texts about that order (drop-off instructions, a pickup-ready alert). If you use the phone verification feature to look up your order history, you'll receive a one-time verification code by text, triggered only when you request it. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies based on your order activity. Reply STOP at any time to a text from us to opt out, or contact us directly.
We use a small number of trusted services to run this app. Each only sees the information it needs to do its job:
None of these companies are permitted to use your information for their own marketing.
This app stores a small amount of information directly in your browser (like a verification session, so you don't have to re-verify your phone every visit). You can clear this at any time using the "Forget my verified number on this device" option in the app.
Separately, our own staff devices are registered to receive push notifications about new orders. This is operational data about our own equipment, not customer information — it doesn't include or relate to any individual customer's data.
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
