Consumer opt-in → Brand → Textel (text platform) → Consumer
We do not use rented, sold, or shared opt-in lists to send messages.

Text message content and opt-ins are linked directly to our brand and not intermediaries.
Service Providers involved in text messaging, like Textel, receive necessary data to perform services but do not engage in unrelated data sharing.
