• SMS opt-in data — your phone number and consent status when you opt in to receive text messages.
• Usage data — non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs, collected automatically through standard web analytics.

No Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your information will not be disclosed to outside parties except as necessary to provide services you have requested (for example, a messaging platform to deliver SMS messages) or as required by law.

SMS Data & Consent

When you opt in to our SMS program, we collect your phone number and consent to send you text messages. Your consent data and phone number are used solely to deliver the messages you have requested.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
• Opt out of SMS communications at any time by texting STOP.
• Withdraw consent for data processing where consent is the basis.
