We do not sell mobile information. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may use service providers solely as necessary to operate our communications, website, compliance, payment, or campaign services, subject to appropriate restrictions and applicable law.
