Mockups with UX components
UX Best Practices:
Consent language should be conspicuously displayed:
In full (do not hide behind a hover or click/tap expander)
Immediately next to the opt-in action field, i.e. the checkbox or phone field
The same size and contrast as other text, ideally emphasized in some way (bold, highlighted background, etc.).
On order forms: Be displayed before the submission button (i.e. ‘order now’)
For reference only, example of previously approved consent language:
With this option, we'll text you with updates such as investment alerts, reports, marketing communications, and stories from Banyan Hill Publishing about *Extreme Fortunes* at the mobile or landline number you provided (you'll get updates even if you're on a corporate, state, or national Do Not Call list). To reach all subscribers in a timely manner, we often use auto dialers, and other automated means. Of course, at any time you can text Stop to stop all messages. When you enroll you're also electronically signing our [Privacy Policy] and [Terms of Use], including the arbitration provision and class action waiver contained therein. Msg & data rates may apply. Maximum of 20 msgs/month. You are not required to agree to this as a condition of making a purchase.
