5. Mobile Information and Text Messaging Privacy

When you voluntarily provide your mobile number and consent to receive text messages from Sisters of Brevard Unite Inc., we may use that number to send the categories of messages for which you have provided consent.

Depending on your selections, messages may include informational communications, responses to inquiries, requested resources, organizational information, event information, volunteer information, or promotional communications from SOBU.

Your Mobile Information Is Not Sold for Marketing

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and messaging consent will not be shared, sold, rented, or transferred to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may use service providers that help us operate our website, telephone, messaging, or communication systems. Any access necessary for those providers to perform services on our behalf does not authorize them to use your mobile information for their own marketing purposes.

SMS Consent

Consent to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of receiving charitable services, participating in SOBU activities, or contacting the organization.

Message frequency varies depending on your interaction with SOBU and the types of communications you have chosen to receive. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP. For assistance with text messaging, reply HELP or contact us using the information provided below.

  • When you direct or authorize us to share information
  • When required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental requirement

These circumstances do not change our commitment regarding SMS information: mobile numbers and messaging consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website platform and supporting technologies may use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function, remember preferences, understand website usage, maintain security, or improve performance.

Your browser may allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies. Some website features may not function as intended if certain cookies are disabled.

8. Links to Other Organizations and Websites

The SOBU website may provide links to community resources, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, event services, donation platforms, social media services, or other third-party websites.

9. Information Security

SOBU seeks to use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we maintain. Access to organizational information should be limited to people who reasonably need it for authorized purposes.

No website, email system, electronic storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, users should avoid submitting highly sensitive information through general website communications.

10. How Long We Keep Information

SOBU may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, maintain appropriate organizational records, administer programs and communications, meet legal or financial obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, or support legitimate nonprofit operations.

Information that is no longer reasonably needed may be deleted or securely disposed of in accordance with applicable organizational practices and legal requirements.

11. Children's Privacy

SOBU's general website and communication tools are not designed to intentionally collect personal information directly from young children without appropriate parent or guardian involvement.

If future SOBU programs involve children or youth and require collection of personal information, appropriate program- specific procedures, permissions, and safeguards may apply.

12. Your Communication Choices

You may choose not to provide optional personal information. However, some information may be necessary for us to respond to a particular request.

You may unsubscribe from eligible email communications by using an unsubscribe option provided in the communication, when available, or by contacting SOBU.
