Effective May 20, 2026 · SMS revision 1.4
This Privacy Policy explains how Tampa Laundry Company LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as Dohbi (“Dohbi,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our wash, dry, and fold subscription service (the “Services”), visit our website, or use our mobile application (collectively, the “Platform”). This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the Dohbi Terms and Conditions of Service (the “Terms”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings given in the Terms.
PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY. By creating an Account, using the Services, or otherwise providing personal information to Dohbi, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, do not use the Services. This Policy may be updated as described in Section 13.
1. SCOPE; WHO THIS POLICY COVERS
This Policy applies to personal information we collect about:
- Customers and prospective customers of our Services;
- Visitors to our website and users of our mobile application;
- Parents, guardians, and other Payors who purchase Services on behalf of a student;
- Recipients of our marketing communications; and
- Persons who contact Dohbi for support or other inquiries.
This Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of any third-party website, application, or service that links to or is linked from the Platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any such third parties.
2. AGE REQUIREMENTS; MINORS
The Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are under 18, you may use the Services only if a parent or legal guardian has accepted the Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, as described in Section 2.2 of the Terms. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will delete the information promptly.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect personal information in three ways: (a) information you provide directly to us; (b) information we collect automatically when you use the Platform; and (c) information we receive from third parties.
3.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you create an Account, purchase a Subscription Plan, schedule a pickup, contact support, or otherwise interact with us, you may provide:
- Identifiers: name, email address, phone number, date of birth (for age verification), and university affiliation;
- Account credentials: username and password;
- Address and location data: pickup and delivery address, residence hall, dorm room, building access codes (where applicable), and other Designated Location information;

- Communications: messages, support requests, reviews, and feedback you send us;

3.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect:

- Location data: precise or approximate location data from your device, where you have granted location permissions (e.g., for proximity-based locker access);
- Cookies and similar technologies: as described in Section 4.
3.3 Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third parties, including:
- Payment processors: confirmation of payment, fraud-prevention flags, and limited card metadata (e.g., last four digits);

- Referrers: if you were referred by another person through a referral or ambassador program, we receive identifying information about the referral relationship;
- Public sources and service providers: data used for identity verification, fraud prevention, or marketing.
3.4 Sensitive Information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, government identification numbers other than what is necessary for age verification, biometric data, health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, or precise geolocation beyond what is necessary to perform the Services). If you submit sensitive information voluntarily (for example, in a message describing a medical accommodation), we will treat it with care and use it only for the purpose for which you submitted it.
4. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use cookies, pixels, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) on the Platform. Cookies serve various purposes:
- Strictly necessary Cookies: required for the Platform to function (e.g., maintaining your login session, processing payment). These cannot be turned off.
- Functional Cookies: remember your preferences and settings.
- Analytics Cookies: help us understand how the Platform is used (e.g., Google Analytics) so we can improve it.
- Advertising Cookies: deliver advertisements that may be of interest to you, including via social media platforms, and measure ad effectiveness.
You can manage your Cookie preferences through the Cookie banner displayed when you first visit the Platform, through your browser settings, or through our Cookie preference center accessible from the Platform footer. Note that disabling certain Cookies may impair your ability to use parts of the Platform.
Do Not Track. Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret these signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. You can manage your tracking preferences through the Cookie controls described above.

15. SMS AND TEXT MESSAGE PRIVACY
15.1 Mobile Information We Collect
When you choose to receive SMS messages from Dohbi, we collect the mobile phone number you provide, the date and time of your consent, the consent language shown to you, and technical information associated with the consent event, such as your IP address and browser or device information. We may also receive message delivery and opt-out information from our messaging provider.
15.2 How We Use Mobile Information
Tampa Laundry Company LLC d/b/a Dohbi uses your mobile phone number only to provide the Dohbi service and the text messages you specifically request. These service-only messages include an enrollment confirmation, a reminder before a scheduled laundry pickup, notice that your washer is on the way, pickup confirmation, notice that clean laundry is out for delivery, and delivery confirmation. One enrollment confirmation, then up to 5 messages per laundry order. Message frequency varies.
Dohbi does not use this SMS program for promotional or marketing messages or authentication/one-time passcodes (OTPs). SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchasing or using the Services. Providing a phone number alone is not consent. If you do not opt in, you can still receive transactional communications by email and in the Dohbi application.
15.3 How We Share Mobile Information
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may share your phone number and related messaging information with our contracted communications and technology providers, including Twilio, solely to send, deliver, secure, monitor, and support the SMS messages you requested. Those providers may process the information on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
We may also disclose mobile information when required by law, to protect the rights and safety of Dohbi or others, or as part of a business transfer described in Section 6.5. We do not use SMS consent as permission to send unrelated messages from another business.
15.4 Your SMS Choices
You may stop receiving Dohbi SMS messages at any time by replying STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT. To resume messages after opting out, reply START or UNSTOP when supported by the messaging service. For help, reply HELP or INFO, or contact us at hello@dohbi.com. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Opting out of SMS does not opt you out of email or in-app service communications needed to operate your Account or fulfill an Order.

15.5 SMS Retention and Privacy Questions
We retain SMS consent, opt-out, and delivery records for the periods described in Section 9, including as needed to demonstrate compliance with telecommunications and consumer-protection laws, resolve disputes, and maintain suppression records. When those records are no longer needed, we delete or de-identify them as described in this Policy.
