We obtain consent for SMS communications separately where required, through a distinct, optional checkbox presented alongside our forms. Providing a telephone number does not by itself constitute consent to receive text messages. Your SMS consent status is recorded separately from your other form information, together with the date, the form on which consent was given, and the version of the disclosure shown to you.

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile contact information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. This applies notwithstanding any other provision of this policy: the disclosures to service providers described in Section 4 are limited, for mobile and SMS opt-in information, to providers that assist us in operating our communications and customer-service systems, solely as necessary to provide those services on our behalf.

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You may reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. See also the SMS Terms & Conditions in our Terms of Service.
