3. Text Messaging (SMS) — Specific Notice

If you opt in to SMS by checking the SMS box on the consultation form (or by asking for SMS contact in writing), we collect your mobile phone number along with the timestamp and source of your consent. We use this information only to deliver the text messages you requested, to honor your STOP/HELP requests, and to keep an audit record of consent as required by U.S. telecommunications regulations (TCPA / CTIA / The Campaign Registry).

We do not sell, rent, lease, share, or otherwise disclose your SMS opt-in information (mobile number and the fact that you consented to receive text messages) to any third party for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in data is shared only with our messaging service provider strictly as necessary to deliver, route, and report on the messages you requested.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP (or END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT) to any text from us. Reply HELP or email trent@trentontompkins.com for assistance. Msg & data rates may apply. See Terms of Service §6 for full SMS-program detail.

Legal compliance when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property.

We do not sell personal information (as that term is defined under California, Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut law), and we do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Data Retention
