Southwest Church Text Messaging Terms of Service

Effective date: September 29, 2026

Southwest Church’s text messaging program provides church event updates, reminders, and follow-up related to sign-up forms or requests you submit.

Joining the program
By opting in, you agree to receive texts from Southwest Church at the mobile number you provide, including messages sent using automated technology. Providing a phone number alone does not enroll you without your consent to receive texts. Participation is voluntary and is not required to attend church or participate in church activities. You must own or be authorized to use the number you provide.

Frequency and cost
Message frequency varies based on church events and your interactions with us. Southwest Church does not charge for this program, but message and data rates may apply through your wireless carrier.

Stopping messages
Reply STOP to any text to unsubscribe. You may receive one final message confirming your request. No further program messages will be sent unless you opt in again. You may also request removal by contacting us below.

Message delivery
Delivery depends on your wireless provider and service availability. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Privacy
Please review our Text Messaging Privacy Policy below for information about how we handle your personal information.

Changes to the program
We may update these terms or discontinue the program. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If a change requires new consent, we will obtain it before sending messages covered by that change.

Southwest Church Text Messaging Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 29, 2026

Southwest Church respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information associated with our church text messaging program and related sign-up forms.

Information we collect
We collect the contact information you provide, such as your name and mobile phone number, along with information you choose to include in a sign-up form or text reply. We also maintain records related to messaging, including your consent, communication preferences, and opt-out requests.

How we use your information
We use your contact information to send church event updates and reminders and to follow up on sign-up forms or requests you submit. We use messaging records to operate the program, respond to you, and honor your communication preferences.

We do not sell your information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not share your mobile number, text messaging opt-in information, or consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Service providers
We use Gloo to support our texting program. Gloo and providers involved in delivering messages may process information needed to operate and support the program. This service-related processing does not authorize use of your information for third-party marketing.

You can read more about Gloo’s practices in its Privacy Statement.

We may also disclose information when required by law.

Retention and protection
We retain information only as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining consent records and honoring opt-out requests. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure.

Your choices
You can stop receiving texts at any time by replying STOP. Unsubscribing stops program messages but does not automatically delete existing records. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, contact us below. We may retain records needed to meet legal obligations or ensure that we continue to honor your opt-out.

Policy updates
We may update this policy and will post any changes on this page with a revised effective date.
