Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 2026 — Dextera Software LLC

This Privacy Policy describes how Dextera Software LLC, doing business as Dextera Software(“Dextera,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website at dexterasoftware.com, contact us, or interact with SMS messaging programs operated by Dextera or by home-service businesses (“Contractors”) that use Dextera’s communication software platform.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated automatically when you interact with us:

  • Contact form submissions.When you complete and submit a contact or quote-request form on our website or on a Contractor’s website powered by Dextera, we collect your name, phone number, email address, and any details you include in your message.
  • Inbound phone calls. When you call a business phone number powered by Dextera, we receive your caller ID (phone number) as provided by your carrier.
  • Inbound text messages. When you reply to or initiate a text message conversation with a Dextera-powered number, we receive your phone number and message content.
  • SMS consent records. When you check an SMS consent checkbox on a web form, we record that you provided consent along with the date, time, and form on which it was given.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Respond to your inquiry via phone, email, or text message.
  • Schedule consultations, estimates, appointments, and demos.
  • Send transactional updates about an active service or project.
  • Send a one-time review request following completed service (where SMS consent exists).
  • Notify the Contractor when a new lead or inquiry arrives.
  • Improve our platform and ensure the accuracy of our records.

3. SMS Messaging Programs

Dextera operates several distinct SMS messaging programs on behalf of itself and its Contractor clients. This section explains each program, exactly how consumers opt in, and how to stop receiving messages. Full details are available in our SMS Messaging Terms.

3a. Missed-Call Auto-Reply

What it is:When a consumer places an inbound telephone call to a Contractor’s Dextera-powered business phone number and the call is not answered within approximately 20 seconds, the system automatically sends one (1) SMS to the caller’s number. The message identifies the Contractor by name, acknowledges that the call was missed, invites the consumer to reply with details about their inquiry, and includes opt-out (STOP) and help (HELP) instructions.

How the consumer opts in:By placing the telephone call, the consumer initiates contact with the business and consents to receive one automated SMS reply. The Contractor’s business phone number is advertised on the Contractor’s website with a notice that missed calls receive an automated text reply. This is a consumer-initiated interaction under CTIA guidelines.

Frequency: Exactly 1 message per missed call. Additional messages are only sent if the consumer replies and continues the conversation.

3b. Website Lead Follow-Up

What it is: A consumer who submits a contact or quote-request form and checks the SMS consent checkbox may receive text messages from the Contractor (or from Dextera for inquiries submitted on dexterasoftware.com) related to their inquiry: confirmation of receipt, estimate scheduling, appointment reminders, and project updates.

How the consumer opts in: The consumer types their phone number into the form, checks a clearly labeled checkbox that explicitly states they agree to receive SMS messages about their inquiry, and clicks the submit button. Checking the SMS checkbox is voluntary and is not required to submit the form or to receive a response by email or phone.

Frequency: Varies; typically fewer than 10 messages per inquiry lifecycle.

3c. Review Request

What it is: After a Contractor completes a job, the Contractor may send one (1) SMS to the customer thanking them and including a link to leave a review on Google or another review platform.

How the consumer opts in:Consent for review request messages is established through the consumer’s prior SMS opt-in when submitting the Contractor’s contact form (Program 3b above), or through a separate consent obtained by the Contractor at or before the time of service. Review request messages are only sent when a valid SMS consent record exists for the consumer.

Frequency: Exactly 1 message per completed job.

Opt-Out (All Programs)

Reply STOP to any message to immediately opt out. You will receive one final confirmation and no further messages will be sent. Reply HELP to any message for assistance. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only as follows:

  • Twilio, Inc. — our SMS infrastructure provider. Twilio transmits messages on our behalf and processes STOP and HELP keyword responses. Twilio does not use your phone number for its own marketing.
  • Contractors.When you submit a form on a Contractor’s website, your inquiry information is delivered to that Contractor so they can respond to you.
  • Other service providers. We use email delivery and web-hosting providers who access data only to operate our platform, under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Dextera, our clients, or the public.

We do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent records with any third party for that party’s own marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

Contact form submissions and SMS consent records are retained for a minimum of four (4) years to document consent in the event of a compliance inquiry. Opt-out records (STOP requests) are retained indefinitely to honor opt-outs permanently.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the address below. Deletion requests will be honored subject to our legal record-keeping obligations (including consent records required for compliance).
