Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 6, 2025

1. Introduction

Group Text LLC respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding personal data of visitors to our website or users of our service (through our web or mobile applications; “User(s)” or “you”), as they download, access and use our mobile and web applications, or otherwise interact with any of our websites, online ads, properties and media (collectively – the “Service”). This Policy also describes how we process – on your behalf - the personal data of your contacts and recipients ("Recipients"), should you choose to upload it to our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly, such as when you sign up, send invitations, or interact with our services. This includes your name, phone number, and event details. We also collect technical data, such as device information and log data, to improve our services.

Data received from you: you may provide us personal data voluntarily, such as your name and phone number when you contact us, your hashed password, your content and images (including details regarding your events or other announcements, if you choose to submit them as you use the Service), when you post on our public forums or groups, when you sign-up to receive e-mail updates, when you place any purchases via our Service. You may also provide us with personal data of your Recipients, namely their names and phone numbers, so that you can use our Service to contact and send them content and invitations you uploaded to and created through the Service; and in such cases, we may collect additional information concerning such Recipients (namely, analytics data concerning their interactions with the content and invitations you sent them, and their responses to such invitations – all on your behalf of course, so you can better manage your events).

Transaction Data: Our Service allows you to place purchases. Currently all purchases must be completed either with a credit card or via PayPal, which will then provide us with limited data concerning your order. We will not collect or store your financial data, e.g., your credit card numbers or bank account. However, we may still receive your non-financial personal data related to your order, such as your name, PayPal username/e-mail, billing and shipping address, the items purchased and paid amount, in order to fulfil your purchase and for our accounting purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used to provide, maintain, and improve our services. We use your contact information to send invitations, reminders, and event updates. Additionally, we analyze usage trends to enhance user experience and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

We may use information that we collect about you to:

• Deliver invitations and/or other products and services that you have requested and/or purchased;
• Disclose information you have voluntarily provided about yourself to other Guests who have been invited to the same events;
• Manage your account and provide you with customer support;
• Perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, or content, or products, services or content offered by others;
• Communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you;

• Perform functions as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share data with service providers, legal authorities, or in cases where necessary to protect our legal rights.

5. Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. We take a variety of security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) intended to help safeguard your information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees, contractors, and service providers are permitted to access information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your information.

While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your information, or searches, or other information will always remain secure. Please be advised that whenever you voluntarily disclose information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. Once you have posted information, you may not be able to edit or delete such information.

6. Your Choices

You can update or delete your account information at any time. You may also opt-out of SMS communications by replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to any message.
