  • Your mobile phone number
  • Your name, if provided during opt-in
  • The date, time, and source of your opt-in for compliance recordkeeping
  • Inbound message content when you reply to us (e.g., STOP)

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your mobile number strictly to send you the text messages you requested. These may include service cancellation and weather alerts, event reminders and registration confirmations, volunteer and ministry group updates, building campaign and organizational announcements, and fundraising and donation-related communications. We do not use your mobile number for any other purpose.

4.  INFORMATION SHARING — NO THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

No mobile opt-in data, consent records, or mobile phone numbers collected through this SMS program will be shared with, sold, rented, or transferred to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes.

All categories of data collected through this program explicitly exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent from any sharing arrangements. This information will not be shared with any third parties for any purpose other than the following narrow exceptions:
  • Our SMS delivery provider (Twilio, Inc.) — solely to transmit messages on our behalf, subject to their own data processing obligations.
  • As required by applicable law or a lawful court order.

5.  DATA RETENTION

We retain opt-in records and message logs for a minimum of four (4) years to maintain compliance with TCPA recordkeeping standards. When records are no longer required, they are destroyed in accordance with our data retention policy. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to our legal retention obligations.

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.
