Information We Collect

How We Use Information
We use information to provide and improve Front Porch, respond to requests, send operational messages you opt into, and meet legal obligations.
SMS / Text Messaging Program
If you provide a mobile number for operational staff communications, the following applies:
- We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers with third parties for their marketing purposes.
- Message frequency is low — typically a few messages per week, only as needed.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to opt out; reply HELP for help.
- SMS is used for staff operational messages only (for example, “draft ready” or “edition ready”). It is not for newsletter readers.

Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us (under appropriate safeguards), or when required by law.
