Tamassee DAR School, Inc. (“Tamassee DAR School,” “our,” “we”) are committed to protecting your privacy. This SMS Messaging Privacy Policy (“Policy”) governs how we collect and use information about you in relation to our text messaging program(s), e.g., text-to-give, marketing information, fundraising, event information and general information, which we make available to you through a third-party service provider.
By using the Messaging Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy. Tamassee DAR School, Inc. reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or change this Policy at any time with or without prior notice to you. The date of the last update will be posted at the top of the Policy for your convenience. This Policy, and any changes, are effective as soon as posted and supersede any prior Policies. Your continued use of the Messaging Service following the posting of any changes to the Policy constitutes your full acceptance of those changes.
Collection of Information
Through your use of the Messaging Service, we will receive Personal Information through our third-party service provider. “Personal Information” is information that individually identifies you, such as your mobile phone number that you provided when signing up for the Messaging Service, and user or screen name you select in connection to the Messaging Service, any comments or feedback regarding the Messaging Service that you send to us, or any other information that you choose to include in messages you send through the Messaging Service. When you send messages via the Messaging Service, we may also collect your messaging history and any information included in those messages.
We may also collect Personal Information about you using cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your device. Cookies enable personalization of your experience on the Messaging Service (e.g., sending you personalized text messages such as event registration reminders).
Use of Information
We use Personal Information to deliver, analyze, maintain and support the Messaging Service. We may also use Personal Information to enhance the Messaging Service features and customize and personalize your experiences on the Messaging Service. This includes informing you of fundraising opportunities, upcoming events, information about our programs and services, promotional and sales information, invitations, and surveys.

Tamassee DAR School, Inc. will not rent or sell your Personal Information. We may use or disclose Personal Information in any of the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent (Implied and/or Explicit).
- We need to enforce our Terms of Service.
- We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing Personal Information on our behalf or providing the Messaging Service to you. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures. If the third party fails to comply with our terms, Tamassee DAR School, Inc. is not accountable in any way for any liability or reimbursement.

Protection of Information
Tamassee DAR School, Inc. takes a variety of physical, technical, administrative, and organizational security measures based on the sensitivity of the information we collect to protect your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. Unfortunately, no online activity can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You should note that in using the Messaging Service, your information will travel through third-party infrastructures which are not under our control (such as a third-party provider’s SMS delivery platform) While we strive to protect your information against unauthorized use or disclosure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide.
