SMS Opt-In and Consent Details
B & N Package Store collects SMS consent through a dedicated opt-in form on our website at go.bnpackagestore.com/consent. We do not use any other method to collect SMS consent unless explicitly documented.
How SMS Consent Is Collected: Customers provide their phone number on our opt-in form and check one or both consent checkboxes to indicate their preference for receiving text messages. One checkbox covers transactional messages (order updates, account alerts, service notifications) and a separate checkbox covers marketing messages (special offers, promotions, new product updates). Both checkboxes are optional and are not pre-checked. Submitting a phone number alone does not constitute consent to receive SMS messages.
Voluntary Consent: SMS consent is entirely voluntary. Consent is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services from B & N Package Store. Customers may opt in to transactional messages, marketing messages, both, or neither.
Opt-Out: Customers may revoke their SMS consent at any time by replying STOP to any message received from B & N Package Store. Upon receiving a STOP request, we will confirm the opt-out and cease sending SMS messages to that number. Customers may also contact us at contact@bnpackagestore.com to request removal from our SMS program.
Opt-In Data Protection: SMS opt-in data and consent records are stored securely and are not shared with any third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. This data is shared only with aggregators and providers of text messaging services who facilitate message delivery on our behalf. For further details, see Section 3 (Information Sharing and Disclosure) below.
Message Frequency & Rates: Transactional message frequency varies based on customer activity. Marketing messages are sent approximately 4–8 times per month. Message and data rates may apply depending on your wireless carrier and plan. Reply HELP at any time for assistance with our SMS program.
3. Age Verification & Compliance
B & N Package Store is committed to responsible alcohol retailing. In accordance with Connecticut state law, all purchasers of alcoholic beverages must be at least 21 years of age. We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual who cannot verify that they meet this age requirement.
We may collect and verify date-of-birth information and government-issued identification at the time of purchase, upon delivery, or when required to comply with applicable state and federal alcohol laws. Any age-related data collected is used strictly for legal compliance and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from an individual under the age of 21 in connection with alcohol-related services, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the Text Messaging services.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information when required by law in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes, including requests from state alcohol regulatory authorities.

We are committed to protecting your personal information. We use industry-standard security measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
