SMS Campaign Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 22, 2026
This SMS Campaign Privacy Policy explains how Safe With Us Animal Rescue (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our text messaging (SMS) program. By enrolling in or receiving our SMS messages, you agree to the terms below.
1. Information we collect
In connection with our SMS campaign, we may collect the following information:
- Contact information: Your mobile phone number and, if provided, your name and email address.
- Engagement data: Message delivery status, timestamps, and your responses (e.g., replies such as YES, NO, STOP).
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as financial, health, or government ID data) through this SMS campaign.
2. How we use your information
We use the information collected through our SMS campaign solely to:
- Send rescue-related communications, such as foster needs, adoption events, volunteer opportunities, and local community events.
- Confirm your participation in fostering, volunteering, or other rescue activities.
- Improve our outreach, including understanding which messages are most helpful to our supporters.
Your information is used only for Safe With Us Animal Rescue’s operational and mission-related purposes.
3. No third-party sharing or marketing use
We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number or SMS-related information with third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
We may use trusted service providers (for example, SMS delivery platforms) solely to send and manage our text messages. These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services on our behalf and are not allowed to use it for their own marketing.
4. Message frequency and charges
Message frequency will vary based on rescue needs, such as urgent foster requests, local events, and important updates. Standard message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan. Check with your carrier for details.
5. Opting out of SMS messages
You can opt out of receiving SMS messages from us at any time by replying STOP to any message. After you send STOP, we will send a confirmation message and then stop sending SMS messages to that number, except where required by law (for example, to confirm your opt-out).
You may also contact us directly to request removal from our SMS list:
- Email: ErinL@safewithusanimalrescue.org
- Phone: 508-612-5099 (call or text)
6. Data security and retention
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
We retain your SMS-related information only as long as necessary to operate our SMS program, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and support our rescue operations. When information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it where feasible.
7. Children’s privacy
Our SMS campaign is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect phone numbers or personal information from children under 13 through this program. If you believe a child has provided us with their phone number, please contact us so we can remove it.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this SMS Campaign Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued participation in our SMS campaign after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
