SMS Privacy Policy – Children's Ministry Deals

Text Message Program

Children's Ministry Deals offers an optional text message program for customers who want deals, product updates, and order-related reminders sent to their phone. You join only by giving us your mobile number and agreeing to receive texts, for example at checkout or through a sign-up form on our website.

When you join, we collect your mobile phone number and a record of your consent (the date, time, and place you opted in). We use your number only to send you the text messages you signed up for, such as sales and promotions, new resources for your children's ministry, and reminders about items left in your cart. Message frequency varies.

We share your number only with the service providers who deliver our texts on our behalf, including our SMS platform, Klaviyo, and the mobile carriers that carry the messages. These providers may use your number only to deliver our messages. We do not sell or rent your phone number.

Cart Reminder Messages

Children's Ministry Deals's website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your cart. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages by text message.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though parts of our website, including the shopping cart, may not work as expected if you do.

Sharing With Third Parties

Place this sentence directly after the paragraph in the main privacy policy that describes sharing information with third parties:

The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Location Information

With your permission, we may collect your device's location using [GPS, Wi-Fi, IP address, or other method]. We collect it while the app is in use. We may use it to show shipping options or other location specific info. We may use location data to decide when or what to send by text message. 

You can turn off location access at any time in your device settings. You will still receive SMS messages, though features that depend on location may not work.

Opting Out and Getting Help

Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts from us; we will send one final message confirming you've been unsubscribed. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.
