  2. Information We Collect

    a. Personal Information

    • Contact Details: We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number (including mobile number), and mailing address when you voluntarily provide it to us—for example, when you sign up for updates, register on our website, or make a donation.

      • Optional Phone Field: Providing your phone number is optional. If you choose to provide it and opt in, you consent to receive text messages and calls as described in this Policy.

    • Payment Details: If you make a donation or purchase, we collect payment information (such as credit card details) through our secure payment processors.

    b. Non-Personal Information

    • Usage Data: We automatically collect certain information about how you access and use our website, such as browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the time and date of your visits.

  3. How We Use Your Information

    a. Communication

    • We may use your contact information (email, phone number, mailing address) to send updates, respond to inquiries, and share relevant news or promotional materials related to our advocacy work.

    • If you opt-in to receive SMS text messages, we will send information, updates, or alerts via text as outlined in the “SMS/Text Messaging” section below.

    b. Website Improvements

    • Non-personal information helps us analyze trends, track overall website performance, and refine our content to better serve visitors.

    c. Legal and Compliance

    • We may also share information to protect our rights, property, safety, or the safety of others.

  4. SMS/Text Messaging

    a. Opt-In and Consent

    • By providing your mobile phone number and opting in (e.g., checking the opt-in box, texting a keyword to a designated number, or filling out a form that includes acceptance of SMS terms), you consent to receive recurring text messages from or on behalf of ASFA Action.

    • You represent that you are the subscriber or customary user of the phone number provided, and that you are authorized to opt in to receive text messages.

    b. Message Frequency and Types

    • Message frequency may vary, but will generally include updates on advocacy efforts, calls to action, fundraising appeals, event notifications, or other relevant information.

    d. How to Opt Out

    • You can opt out at any time by replying “STOP” to any text message you receive from us. After sending “STOP,” you may receive a one-time confirmation text stating that you have been unsubscribed. No further messages will be sent unless you opt in again.

    e. Data Use and Sharing (SMS)

    • We will not share or sell your text messaging opt-in data, consent, or related personal information with any third parties, unless required by law.

    • We may share your phone number with service providers who help us send text messages (e.g., SMS platform vendors), but only for the purposes of delivering the requested services and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    f. Your Responsibilities

    • You agree to notify us immediately if you change your mobile number or lose ownership of the number you provided.

  6. Third-Party Services

    We may partner with third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, hosting services, analytics providers) to perform functions on our behalf. These companies may have access to the information needed to perform their duties but are prohibited from using it for other purposes.

  7. Data Security

    We employ reasonable security measures to protect the information you provide from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.
