Employee Mobile Messaging Consent & BYOD Agreement

This Employee Mobile Messaging Consent & BYOD Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Hamptons Boat Management Inc. (“Company”) and the signing employee (“Employee”). This Agreement governs the Company’s use of SMS text messaging to deliver operational communications to the Employee’s personal mobile device and constitutes the Employee’s formal opt-in consent for such communications.

Purpose & Scope of Messaging

All SMS communications sent by the Company will carry the prefix Yacht Hampton:. Messages are strictly operational and will never be used for marketing, promotional, or advertising purposes.

• Daily task assignments and to-do lists
• Calendar events, scheduling updates, and shift reminders
• Emergency and safety notifications related to vessel operations, weather, or personnel matters

Message Frequency

Messages will be sent at least once per day during active employment, with a typical maximum of approximately 8 messages per day during peak operational periods. Standard messaging hours are 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM; however, individual schedules vary by role and assignment. The Company will not send messages outside of an Employee’s working hours unless the communication relates to an emergency or safety matter.

Opt-In Consent

By signing the accompanying agreement, the Employee affirmatively consents to receive SMS text messages from Hamptons Boat Management Inc. at the mobile number provided. The Employee confirms that:

• They are the account holder or have authorization from the account holder to consent.
• The mobile number provided is accurate and current.

Opt-Out & Help Instructions

The Employee may opt out of SMS communications at any time using any of the following methods:

• Reply STOP to any message. No further messages will be sent unless new consent is provided.
• Reply HELP to any message for instructions and support contact information.
• Contact Manager Joe Iallaci at joe@yachthampton.com. Requests submitted via email will be processed within 24 hours.
• Notify your direct supervisor verbally and follow up in writing.
• Submit an opt-out request through the Company’s employee application, if applicable.

Following any opt-out, the Employee acknowledges they may miss time-sensitive operational communications and accepts responsibility for obtaining such information through alternative channels. The Company is developing Slack-based messaging as an alternative; employees who opt out of SMS may be transitioned to that channel when available.

Carrier Compliance Notice

Message and data rates may apply. The Company is not responsible for any charges or fees incurred by the Employee’s mobile carrier in connection with the receipt of SMS messages. The Employee is solely responsible for managing their mobile carrier plan. Employees on limited or pay-per-text plans are encouraged to consider whether SMS opt-in is appropriate for their plan; opting out via STOP or by contacting a manager is available at any time. Delivery is not guaranteed across all carriers.

Privacy & Data Use

The Employee’s mobile number will be stored securely within the Company’s internal systems and accessed only by authorized personnel responsible for managing employee communications. It will not be used for any purpose beyond the operational scope defined herein.

6.2 Data Retention
