We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your personal data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, wireless carriers, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages. We do not sell or share your mobile information or SMS consent status with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes, and the categories of information described in this paragraph are excluded from any sharing or selling of personal information described elsewhere in our Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of the SMS program at any time by replying STOP to the number you received this message from, or by clicking the unsubscribe link (where available) in any text message. You may also request help by replying HELP to the same number or by emailing info@oliverma2026.com. Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah), you may have additional rights to access, delete, correct, or limit the use and disclosure of your personal information. To exercise those rights, contact us using the information in the “Contact us” section of our Privacy Policy.
5. Data retention and security
We retain the information we collect through the SMS program for as long as your mobile number is active in the program and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
