SMS Privacy Policy

Effective Date:August 12, 2025

Introduction
At Covenant Academy, we value your privacy. This SMS Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you opt into our SMS messaging program to receive podcast links and any other communication via Textedly. This policy complies with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and applicable 2024 FCC guidelines.

1. Information We Collect
When you opt into our SMS program, we collect:

  • Phone Number: The mobile number you provide during opt-in.
  • Message Interaction Data: Information such as delivery status, responses, and engagement metrics.
  • Consent Data: Records of when and how you provided consent (e.g., web form or text opt-in).

2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:

  • Send primarily podcast links, potentially school announcements, and relevant updates as indicated during opt-in.
  • Ensure compliance with TCPA and FCC regulations.
  • Monitor and improve our SMS services through engagement metrics.
    Your information will only be used for the purposes specified at opt-in and not for unrelated messages.

3. Consent
Per FCC regulations, we obtain express written consent before sending promotional messages and express consent for informational messages like podcast links. Consent is specific to Covenant Academy and is not shared with third parties unless explicitly stated.

4. Message Frequency and Data Rates
You may receive up to 4 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier’s plan. Please review your carrier’s terms for details.

5. Opt-Out Instructions
You may opt out at any time by replying “STOP” to any message. Upon opting out, you will no longer receive messages unless you opt back in by replying “START” or re-enrolling. For assistance, reply “HELP” or contact us at Melissa den Dulk or (281) 373-2233.

6. Data Sharing and Security
We do not share or sell your information for marketing purposes. We may share data with trusted third-party providers (e.g., Textedly) solely to facilitate SMS delivery, bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure.

7. Do Not Call Registry
We comply with the National Do Not Call Registry. If your number is registered, we will not send promotional messages unless you provide express consent.

8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. Significant changes will be communicated via SMS or on our Website. Continued use of our SMS service indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
