This Privacy Policy explains how the Brenda Glim for Huntington Beach City Council Campaign collects, uses, and protects information you provide when you opt in to receive text messages from us. By opting in to our SMS program, you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you opt in to our text messaging program, we collect:

• Your mobile phone number

• The date, time, and method of your opt-in (e.g., web form, text-to-join keyword, event sign-up sheet)

• Your message history and interactions with our texts (e.g., replies, opt-out requests)

• Any information you voluntarily provide in response to our texts (e.g., your name, zip code, or donation information)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Send you campaign updates, volunteer opportunities, event invitations, and fundraising requests

• Respond to your questions or requests (including HELP and STOP requests)

• Maintain accurate records of consent and opt-out status as required by law

• Improve our outreach and communication efforts

3. How We Share Information

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, under any circumstances. We do not sell, rent, or trade your mobile number or opt-in status to any outside party.

We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• With our SMS service provider (e.g., Numero.ai) solely to deliver the text messages you’ve opted in to receive

• If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process

• With your explicit consent

4. Data Retention

We retain your mobile number and consent records for as long as necessary to operate our text messaging program, comply with legal record keeping obligations, and honor opt-out requests. If you opt out, we retain a record of your opt-out status to ensure we don’t contact you again, but we stop sending you messages.

5. Your Choices — Opt-Out and Help

You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You will receive one final confirmation text, and no further messages will be sent after that. For assistance, reply HELP to any message, or contact us using the information below.

6. Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier and plan. Message frequency varies (up to 7 messages per week). Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any donation or service.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide, but no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our text messaging program is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.
