Marked Men For Christ

Marked Men For Christ (“MMFC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This SMS Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you opt in to receive text messages from Marked Men For Christ.

This policy applies to information collected through our SMS and MMS messaging program, including messages about ministry events, retreats, registrations, reminders, program updates, volunteer opportunities, resources, and related communications.

Information We Collect

When you participate in our messaging program, we may collect and maintain:

Your name and mobile phone number
Your text-message opt-in status, consent date, method of consent, and related preferences
Communications you send to us, including HELP, STOP, and other replies
Information related to ministry events, registrations, or programs when you provide it to us
Technical and usage information associated with message delivery, such as delivery status, mobile carrier, message timestamps, and interaction records

How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

Send recurring SMS or MMS messages that you have agreed to receive
Provide event, registration, ministry, and program-related communications
Respond to customer support requests and requests for help
Process opt-out requests and maintain records of your messaging preferences
Improve the relevance, operation, security, and administration of our communications
Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information below.

We may share personal information with service providers and vendors that help us operate our website, administer events, send messages, provide technology services, process registrations, or support organizational operations. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the rights, safety, or property of Marked Men For Christ or others, or as part of an organizational transition permitted by law.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information won’t be shared with any third parties.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining consent and opt-out records, providing requested services, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Your Choices

You may choose not to receive marketing or program-related text messages by replying STOP to any text message from us. After you opt out, you will receive a confirmation message and will no longer receive messages from that SMS program unless you opt in again.

For help with the SMS program, reply HELP to any message or contact us at [insert support email address] or [insert support phone number].

Opting out of text messages does not automatically remove you from other Marked Men For Christ communications, such as email, unless you separately unsubscribe from those communications.

Children’s Privacy

Our SMS program is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information through the SMS program from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this SMS Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Your continued participation in the SMS program after the revised policy is posted is subject to the updated policy.
