This provision establishes that contact information provided during account registration or service intake is used for marketing communications, and that the opt-out mechanism is the consumer's responsibility to exercise after the fact rather than requiring affirmative opt-in consent for marketing.
Interpretive note: Whether the policy's framing of contact information provision as consent to marketing satisfies TCPA prior express written consent requirements depends on the specific consent capture language and workflow used at the point of collection, which is not fully described in the policy.
Under this provision, email addresses and phone numbers provided to Ro during account creation or intake are used to send marketing emails and SMS messages unless the user actively opts out by following unsubscribe instructions or replying STOP to text messages. The agreement does not require separate affirmative consent for marketing communications beyond the provision of contact information.

"By providing your email address or phone number, you agree to receive electronic communications from us, including marketing emails and SMS messages. You may opt-out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any marketing email or by replying STOP to any marketing text message.— Excerpt from Ro's Ro Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: SMS marketing communications engage the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), enforced by the FCC and through private rights of action. Email marketing engages the CAN-SPAM Act, enforced by the FTC. The policy's framing of contact information provision as consent to marketing communications may not satisfy TCPA's prior express written consent requirements for text message marketing depending on how consent is obtained at the point of contact information collection. FTC Act standards apply to the accuracy of opt-out mechanism disclosures. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. TCPA compliance for SMS marketing requires prior express written consent that is clearly documented, and the policy's blanket statement that providing a phone number constitutes agreement may not satisfy TCPA's specific consent requirements in all contexts. FCC enforcement and private TCPA class actions represent material financial exposure. JURISDICTION FLAGS: TCPA applies federally. California has additional state law protections for electronic marketing. The interaction between TCPA consent requirements and Ro's health service context creates additional complexity where health-related marketing communications may be subject to HIPAA marketing authorization requirements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: SMS and email marketing vendors should be assessed for TCPA and CAN-SPAM compliance capabilities, including consent documentation, opt-out processing, and suppression list management. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Consent capture workflows should be reviewed to confirm they satisfy TCPA prior express written consent requirements at the point of phone number collection. CAN-SPAM compliance should be confirmed for all marketing email templates. Health-related marketing communications should be evaluated against HIPAA marketing authorization requirements if they relate to services paid for by third parties or involve PHI.
