4. Text messaging (SMS) privacy

This section applies to text messages sent by or to Your Choice Inspections, including our text line (817) 532-4857. The program is called Your Choice Inspections Text Messages.

What we text about. We send text messages about inspection scheduling, appointment confirmations and reminders, and customer care (answering your questions and following up on your inspection). We do not send marketing or promotional texts from third parties.

How you opt in. You agree to receive text messages from us when you:
1. Text us first at (817) 532-4857 (for example, to ask about or book an inspection); or
2. Give verbal consent on a phone call with our team when you book an inspection and agree that we may text you about your appointment.

Agreeing to receive texts is not a condition of buying any service from us.

What we collect for texting. Your mobile phone number, the content of the messages we exchange, the date and time of your consent and how you gave it (texting first or verbal consent on a call), and any opt-out or help requests.

Message frequency and cost. Message frequency varies based on your appointment and questions; most customers receive a few messages per inspection. Message and data rates may apply.

Opting out and getting help. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. You will get one final message confirming that you are unsubscribed, and we will not text you again unless you opt back in (for example, by replying START). Reply HELP for help, or contact us at (817) 658-5796 or michael@yourchoiceinspections.org.

How we use your mobile information. We use your mobile number and messaging data only to communicate with you about your inspection and to provide customer care, and to keep records of your consent and opt-out choices.

No sharing of mobile information. We do not share, sell, rent, or provide your mobile phone number or text-messaging consent to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

5. How we share information

We share personal information only as needed to run our business and provide your inspection. The categories of recipients are:

- People you ask us to work with, such as your real estate agent or another person you authorize to receive your appointment details or inspection report.
- Government and legal, when required by law, by a court or subpoena, by the Texas Real Estate Commission, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
- A business transfer, if Your Choice Inspections is sold or merged, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
