Creative Messaging Solutions LLC respects each individual's right to personal privacy. We will collect and use information through our Web site only in the ways disclosed in this statement. This statement applies solely to information collected at Creative Messaging Solutions LLC's Web sites.
Part I. Information Collection
Creative Messaging Solutions LLC collects information through our Web site at several points. If you purchase a product or service from us, we collect the following information through the forms you fill out on our site: Your name, organization, contact information, and payment information. If you subscribe to our services in response to an invitation from one of our customers, we collect your mobile phone number or email address either by an incoming SMS message from your phone, an incoming email request, or a form you fill out on our site. We may ask you for additional information which you can provide voluntarily to support other features of our service. If you send a text message to our shortcode, we will automatically collect and store your SMS number and carrier identifier so that we can reply to your message if needed. If you are a visitor to our site, our Web server may store your IP address and any information you have configured your browser to supply to the sites you visit. This information is provided automatically by your Web browser to all the Web sites you visit, and most sites, including ours, store this information in automatically created log files.
We may also collect names and contact information which our users divulge about other people. We do not make use of this information without receiving permission from the subject of the information through a double opt-in process.
If you are a customer, we retain the text of any messages you send and the SMS numbers of the subscribers to whom you sent them. This text is visible to you through your account management pages at our site and to our authorized employees. It will not be released to other parties except as might be required by law. We may review this information either manually or automatically to enforce our terms and conditions regarding message content. This is for the protection of subscribers and is required by the mobile operators whose SMS networks we use for distribution of messages to your subscribers.
We do not actively market to children.
Some of the information we collect, such as that provided by your browser when you visit our site, is not personally identifiable and may be used to help us understand the geographic appeal of our products and services, to help us customize our site for best viewing on a variety of browsers, and to help us predict the volume of future traffic on our site.
We employ "cookies" on our site. A cookie is a small text file that our Web server places on a user's computer hard drive to be a unique identifier. Cookies enable Creative Messaging Solutions LLC to help keep track of what you're doing on our site, such as keeping a record of information you've entered on a form. Our cookies expire automatically after a few minutes. No personal information is actually stored in the cookie, but rather the cookie contains a random value that we assign to you when you enter our site. This value is used by the software on our site to look up the information you've entered at our site so we can complete your order or properly route you to the pages you select.
Other sites that place advertising on our Web site may collect personal information. You should consult the privacy policies of those sites for more information. When you click an advertising link on our site we may record your IP address or some other identifier that helps us substantiate the number of clicks we send through to the advertised site. This information is necessary in order for us to properly bill the advertised site for its ads. We do not supply any of your personal information to any advertiser on our site.
Part II. Information Usage.
The information we collect will be used for the purposes described above. When possible, the purpose for which we collect information will be clearly stated at the time the information is collected. For example, we will use personal contact and payment information to process payments for the products and services you order at our site. We use your mobile phone number and carrier identifier to send you the SMS messages you request as part of our normal services. We may host an email list at our site and use the email address you provide us to send you email messages that you request.
Registered users may receive additional announcements from us about products, services, special deals, and newsletters. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
We have the following policies regarding contacting you by these methods:
- Email: If you are a customer of the products and services at our site, we may contact you by email to tell you about new products or services, updates to the products or services you own or subscribe to, service outages or problems related to the products or services you own, and to provide you with technical support you request from us. If you sign up for an email list at our site, you will receive messages related to the purpose of that list, which will be clearly stated at the point at which you sign up for the list. We will not provide your email address to any third party for any purpose other than as might be required by law.
- Phone: We will not contact you by phone for any marketing purpose. We may contact you by phone to clear up a billing problem, or if you request that we call you. (Note that we may or may not provide technical support or sales support services by phone and will not necessarily call you simply because you request it.) We will not provide your phone number to any third party for any purpose other than as might be required by law.
- SMS (Text Messsage): The purpose of our company is to provide ways for our customers to contact people using the SMS (text message) service of their mobile phones. All of our services require you to go through a double opt-in process to verify that you truly desire to receive text messages from users of our services. Once you have opted into a list, you agree to receive SMS messages from the owner of that list until such time as you opt-out. We may send you SMS messages to verify your continued interest in a list or to remind you of opt-out options. We will send you SMS messages during the opt-in, opt-out, and help processes in response to your requests. We will not provide your SMS (mobile phone) number to any third party other than as might be required by law. We may contact account owners and managers by SMS to inform them of service changes, serious outages, and other events that we feel require immediate notification.
- Direct Mail: If you provide us with your mailing address, we may use that address to send you advertising or support information. As is customary, we may offer your mailing address to third parties for marketing purposes.
The information we collect may be used to create customer profiles based on browsing or purchasing history. We may supplement information collected at our Web site with data from other sources, such as credit history to authorize purchases or address verification services to support direct mail advertising.
We may share data with third parties as described above. Users may request their information not be shared with third parties.
We offer links to other Web sites. Please note: When you click on links to other Web sites, we encourage you to read their privacy policies. Their standards may differ from ours.
Our Web site may offer a way for you to post blog comments or forum messages. Please be advised that information posted in these venues becomes public knowledge.
If our policy on information collection or uses changes, will advise you by updating this privacy policy.
Part III. Access to Information
Creative Messaging Solutions LLC maintains the accuracy of its information by customer interaction and may update mailing addresses through use of change-of-address and address verification services. Users may access their own personal information and contact us about inaccuracies they may find by logging into their accounts at our site.

Part V. Data Storage and Security
Creative Messaging Solutions LLC protects user information using industry-standard encryption and security protocols. SSL encryption is used to protect your personal and payment information as it travels across the Internet.

We employ other security measures that we do not discuss so as not to facilitate compromise of the information they secure.
