Creating a privacy policy that is satisfactory for A2P (Application-to-Person) registration, particularly for platforms like GoHighLevel (GHL), requires compliance with specific regulations and carrier requirements. The policy needs to clearly outline how you collect, use, share, and protect user data, especially when dealing with SMS and messaging services.
Here’s a template for a privacy policy that should meet A2P requirements:
