Privacy Policy
The Grindless Point of Sale (“POS”) software offers the ability to opt-in to SMS text messages sent to customer’s phone numbers on file, which will notify the recipient of promotions and events happening in their local store. Grindless does not own or operate the locations which use the Grindless POS software.
Separate from the above mentioned service, Grindless also has the ability to send text messages to users of the Grindless Point of Sale software, including business owners and their employees who use the POS software. Text messages received by these users include 2FA (two-factor-authentication) codes sent to the user’s phone, which allows them to securely login from a new device. This 2FA login process occurs once per each new device when logging into the POS system where one text message is sent per each device. Users of Grindless POS can opt-in to receiving these messages from the user management area of the POS (Settings > Manage Employees) when creating or editing an account. In this case, the quantity of messages you receive depends on the number of new devices you sign into through Grindless, each new device requiring a unique 2FA code. To opt-out of receiving 2FA codes, reply with the word “REMOVE” to inbound text messages.
This SERVICE is provided by Grindless at no cost and is intended for use as is. Additional fees may be incurred by the recipient from their cellphone carrier for receiving text messages from the Service. Grindless itself does not charge the end user in any way for the sending/receiving of these SMS text messages.

How To Unsubscribe
Recipients may opt-out and cancel their text message subscription at any time. There are multiple ways to do this:
- Reply to any text message you have receive from the Service with the word “REMOVE” (case insensitive). Our POS will then remove your phone number from our subscription list automatically. This option is the fastest and more preferred method of unsubscribing.
- Contact your local store where you signed up for text messaging. You may dial the phone number which sent you our text message or call the store.
- Contact Grindless via email or telephone. You can find our Corporate contact info at the bottom of any page on our website. This option may take additional time as your number must be manually found and unsubscribed from our system.
