Last Updated:\u00a0February 24, 2026 1. Introduction Dart Leader, LLC and its affiliates (\u201cDart Leader,\u201d \u201cwe,\u201d \u201cus,\u201d or \u201cour\u201d) are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who receive servicing text messages (SMS) and other communications from us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information, including personal information, when we send SMS messages to keep you up to date on meetings, appointments, and important dates related to our services. This Privacy Policy applies to information we process when sending servicing communications using third\u2011party communications platforms and carriers (including text messaging providers). It does not replace any other privacy notice that may apply to your use of Dart Leader products or websites. 2. Information We Collect When you receive servicing SMS messages from Dart Leader, we may collect the following categories of information: Contact Information:\u00a0Your mobile phone number and, where applicable, your name or other identifiers associated with your account or booking. Communication Content:\u00a0The content of SMS messages that we send to or receive from you, including confirmations, reminders, updates, and responses to your replies. Communications Usage Data:\u00a0Technical and usage information related to our messaging, such as message timestamps, delivery status, routing information, carrier and country information, and limited device or network identifiers provided by our communications providers. Preference and Consent Information:\u00a0Records of your opt\u2011in, opt\u2011out, and other consent or preference choices regarding receiving SMS servicing communications. We may receive some of this information from you directly, from your employer or organization (if messages are sent on their behalf), from scheduling systems, or from our third\u2011party communications providers. 3. How We Use Your Information We use the information described above for the following purposes: Providing Servicing SMS Updates: To send you one\u2011time or recurring messages about meetings, appointments, events, and date\u2011related reminders. To send confirmations, rescheduling notices, cancellations, instructions, and follow\u2011up notifications relating to your relationship or transactions with us. Account and Relationship Management: To associate messages with the appropriate customer or user record. To respond to your inquiries and support requests when you contact us by replying to messages or through other channels. Compliance and Recordkeeping: To maintain records of consent, opt\u2011outs, and communications for compliance with telecommunications, privacy, and consumer protection laws and industry guidelines. To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our policies. Service Improvement and Analytics: To monitor and improve delivery, reliability, and quality of our messaging services. To analyze aggregated or de\u2011identified messaging metrics (such as delivery rates and response rates) to improve our operations. We do not use servicing SMS messaging content to profile you for unrelated marketing without obtaining appropriate consent where required by law. 4. Legal Bases for Processing (Where Applicable) Where required by applicable data protection laws, we process personal information for the following legal bases: Performance of a Contract:\u00a0To send you necessary service\u2011related communications about your meetings, appointments, events, and similar engagements. Legitimate Interests:\u00a0To operate secure and reliable messaging systems, maintain records, prevent abuse, and improve our services, where these interests are not overridden by your rights. Consent:\u00a0Where consent is required to send specific types of messages or to use your information in particular ways (for example, for any optional communications beyond core servicing updates). 5. How We Obtain Consent and Your Choices Opt\u2011In (Consent to Receive SMS) Before sending you SMS messages, Dart Leader or its client organizations will obtain your consent where required by law or carrier requirements. Examples include: Completing a registration or scheduling form that clearly explains you will receive SMS reminders or updates. Checking a box or taking a similar affirmative action agreeing to receive SMS notifications. Providing your mobile number in a context where it is clear that you will receive appointment or servicing messages. By providing your mobile number and opting in, you represent that you are the account holder or have the account holder\u2019s permission to receive SMS messages at that number. Message Types Our SMS program is intended for\u00a0servicing\u00a0communications only, such as: appointment confirmations and reminders, scheduling updates, event notifications, service alerts, and similar transactional or relationship\u2011based messages. If we wish to send marketing or promotional SMS, we will obtain any separate consents required by law. Opt\u2011Out You may opt out of receiving SMS messages from Dart Leader at any time by following the instructions in the messages you receive. Common options include: Replying \u201cSTOP\u201d to a message to stop that messaging program. Following any other opt\u2011out instructions provided in the message. After you opt out, you may still receive communications by other channels (such as email) or SMS messages that are necessary for legal, security, or service\u2011related reasons where permitted by law. HELP and Support You may reply \u201cHELP\u201d to a message or contact us using the contact details in Section 11 if you have questions about our SMS program. 6.

These providers process information on our behalf under contractual terms that protect your information. Business Partners or Client Organizations:\u00a0Where Dart Leader sends servicing messages on behalf of another organization (such as your employer, service provider, or event organizer), we may share relevant message and consent information with that organization so they can manage their relationship with you.
