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.

What this means for you

The updated policy establishes clearer disclosure of how GOAT handles phone number sharing with shipping partners. Under the revised terms, your phone number and order information may be shared with shipping carriers so they can send you delivery-related text messages, including tracking updates, delivery scheduling, and confirmations. The policy now specifies that message and data rates may apply and that message frequency varies based on your order activity. 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.

What you can do

Review the updated disclosure regarding phone number sharing with shipping carriers.

If you do not wish to receive delivery-related text messages, you can opt out by replying STOP to any delivery SMS or clicking unsubscribe links in messages.

Note that opting out of delivery SMS does not prevent security-related messages such as multifactor authentication codes.
