This policy explains how Grace Community Church collects, uses, and protects your mobile phone number and related information through our SMS/text messaging program. It covers text messaging only — it is not Grace Community Church's general privacy policy for other purposes.
When you opt in to receive text messages from us — by checking a consent box on your member profile, submitting one of our sign-up forms, or providing your phone number and consent during children's check-in — we collect your mobile phone number, your name (if provided), the content of messages we send and receive with you, and the date, time, and status of your consent and any opt-out.
We use this information solely to operate our text messaging program, which may include:
We do not sell, share, rent, or otherwise disclose your mobile phone number or SMS consent information to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes.
Your phone number and message content are shared only with our messaging service provider (Twilio) to the extent necessary to send and receive text messages on our behalf, and are used only as described in this policy.
Message frequency varies depending on which notifications you've opted into and how you interact with us — for example, occasional church-wide announcements, reminders tied to a specific event or your own attendance, or a one-time verification code at check-in. There is no fixed number of messages per week or month.
Message and data rates may apply.
You can stop receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us, or by updating your notification preferences in your member profile. Opting out of text messages never affects your membership or any other service we provide.
Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us directly at support@sanctuarycms.com · (406) 282-4512.
We retain messaging records — including your consent and opt-out status — for as long as necessary to operate this program and to comply with applicable law.
We may update this policy from time to time; changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
