Fix TCR Code 7103 Privacy Clause

What TCR Error 7103 Means

TCR error code 7103 occurs when AT&T detects privacy policies lacking required affiliate sharing disclosure language in SMS consent sections. Generic privacy policies without explicit third-party data sharing statements trigger automated rejection on AT&T's network.

Why This Error Occurs

AT&T enforces stricter privacy disclosure standards requiring transparency about how subscriber data may be shared with affiliates, partners, or third-party service providers. Privacy policies lacking SMS-specific sections or failing to disclose affiliate sharing practices fail AT&T's automated verification.

How to Fix TCR Error 7103

Remediation requires 4-step privacy policy update protocol. Campaign resubmission with corrected privacy policy URL achieves 85-95% AT&T approval rates within 24-48 hours.

1. 1

   Add SMS Consent Section

   Create dedicated SMS section in privacy policy explaining program scope, data collection practices, and subscriber rights. Section should precede or follow general privacy terms with clear SMS-specific header.

   Technical Detail: SMS section must be separately identifiable via header tag (H2/H3) or distinct paragraph formatting. AT&T's automated scanners validate section presence before manual review.
2. 2

   Insert Affiliate Disclosure

   Add explicit third-party data sharing language disclosing how subscriber information may be shared with affiliates, partners, service providers, or marketing vendors. Include purpose of sharing and partner categories.

   Required Language Example: "We may share your mobile number and consent records with affiliate partners and third-party service providers who assist in delivering SMS services or related marketing programs."
3. 3

   Update Campaign Registration

   Submit corrected privacy policy URL in TCR campaign registration fields. Verify URL accessibility returns HTTP 200 response and SMS section is publicly visible without authentication.

   Technical Detail: AT&T validates privacy policy URL accessibility during automated review. Broken links, paywalls, or login-required policies trigger immediate rejection.
4. 4

   Verify AT&T Acceptance

   Monitor campaign status through CSP portal. AT&T automated reprocessing occurs within 24-48 hours for corrected privacy policies. Manual review adds 3-5 business days for low-trust-score brands.

   Technical Detail: Approval confirmation appears in CSP dashboard with AT&T network status change from "Blocked" to "Approved." Check throughput allocation for verification.

Technical Requirements

TCR error 7103 violations trigger when privacy policies fail AT&T's enhanced disclosure standards. While TCPA does not mandate specific affiliate sharing language, AT&T enforces transparency requirements beyond minimum federal compliance.

AT&T-Specific Requirements

AT&T requires SMS consent sections explicitly disclosing third-party data sharing practices. Generic privacy policies addressing only direct business-to-consumer relationships without affiliate/partner disclosure fail validation.

Carrier Enforcement Differences

AT&T enforces affiliate disclosure requirements more stringently than T-Mobile or Verizon. While all carriers verify privacy policy presence, AT&T's automated scanners specifically validate third-party sharing language presence. Organizations approved on T-Mobile/Verizon may still face AT&T rejection without compliant affiliate disclosure.

Verification Process

AT&T's automated review system validates privacy policy URL accessibility, SMS section presence via header detection, and affiliate disclosure language through keyword scanning. Policies passing automated checks proceed to manual review verifying disclosure adequacy for business model and use case.
