4. Automated Text Messages and SMS Privacy

When you submit a contact form on our website, we may use a business communications platform, including Quo or another service provider, to send an automated text message in response to your inquiry.

The message may acknowledge receipt of your submission or help us respond to your request.

Message frequency: Typically, one initial automated response per form submission. Additional messages may occur if you continue communicating with us or request further contact.

Message and data rates: Standard message and data rates from your wireless carrier may apply.

Opting out: You may reply STOP to an SMS message to request that further text messages be discontinued. You may also contact us at (605) 777-0186 for assistance.

Providing consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing our services.

We use your phone number to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you for appropriate business purposes. We do not sell your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information.

We may share information with communications platforms, telecommunications providers, and other service providers when reasonably necessary to deliver messages and operate our business. These providers may process information on our behalf.

Mobile information and SMS consent records will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. This restriction does not prevent disclosures to service providers necessary to deliver communications on our behalf, disclosures required by law, or other disclosures authorized by you or permitted by applicable law.

Submitting a general inquiry does not automatically enroll you in an ongoing promotional text messaging program. Any additional consent required for marketing messages will be obtained separately where applicable.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: We may share information with vendors that help us operate our website, manage customer inquiries, host websites, provide business communications, maintain security, or deliver requested services.

  • Business transactions: Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable law.

Service providers are permitted to access information as reasonably necessary to perform their services, subject to applicable contractual obligations and law.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
