GOAT updated its privacy policy to clarify how it shares your phone number and other contact information with shipping partners for delivery notifications. The policy now explicitly states that shipping carriers may send you text messages with tracking updates, delivery scheduling, and confirmations directly on GOAT's behalf. The update also specifies that message rates may apply, message frequency varies based on order activity, and you can opt out of delivery texts without affecting security-related messages like authentication codes.
The updated policy establishes clearer disclosure of how GOAT handles phone number sharing with shipping partners.

You can opt out of delivery-related text messages by replying STOP or clicking unsubscribe links, though this does not affect security-related messages such as multifactor authentication codes.
