Privacy Policy
SMS Text Messaging Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 2026
CHN Nebraska d/b/a Center for Nutrition & Health Impact (“CNHI”, "Organization," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of individuals who participate in our text messaging (SMS) programs.
This policy explains how we collect, use, maintain, and protect information associated with our text messaging services, including information provided when you opt-in to receive text messages from a CNHI-sponsored campaign or program.
Information We Collect
When you subscribe to one of our text messaging programs, we may collect:
Your mobile telephone number.
Your name and other contact information, if provided.
Your SMS enrollment and consent status, including the date, time, and method of consent.
Your messaging preferences and opt-out status.
Information about your interactions with our text messaging services, including messages sent and received.
We collect only the information reasonably necessary to administer and support the applicable messaging program.
How We Use Your Information
We use your mobile telephone number and related information to:
Communicate with you, respond to your inquires, and provide information about our programs
To send you updates, newsletters, and other program-related information
Process and maintain opt-out, STOP requests, and communication preferences.
Document consent and maintain records necessary for compliance, auditing, and program administration.
Monitor and improve the reliability and security of our messaging services.
Your enrollment in one texting program does not automatically enroll you in other CNHI-sponsored texting programs. Consent is specific to the campaign or program for which it was provided.
Sharing and Disclosure of Information
Text messaging opt-in data, consent and related collected personal information will not be shared with or sold to any third parties, unless required by law.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers and contractors that support our messaging operations, such as our SMS platform provider, telecommunications carriers, and technical support vendors. These providers may use the information only to perform services on our behalf and are not authorized to use it for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the CNHI and others.
Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information and employ industry-standard technologies to safeguard it. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain mobile telephone numbers, consent records, and related information only for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the messaging program, document consent, honor opt-out requests, meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and support legitimate institutional recordkeeping obligations.
Your Choices and Opting Out
Participation in our text messaging programs is voluntary.
You may stop receiving messages from a specific program at any time by replying **STOP** to a message from that program. You may receive a final confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out.
After your opt-out is processed, you will no longer receive messages from that program unless you subsequently provide new consent.
You may request assistance by replying **HELP** or by contacting the program using the contact information provided in its Terms & Conditions.
Opting out of one program does not automatically opt you out of other programs for which you have separately provided consent.
Third-Party Services and Links
Our messaging programs may use third-party service providers to transmit and administer text messages. Those providers process information as necessary to provide the requested services. This policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that may be linked in our messages. We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies of those services.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this SMS/Text Messaging Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our messaging practices, technology, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
