Terms & Conditions
Ocean Road Advisors Inc. (“Ocean Road Advisors,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information received through SMS (Short Message Service) communications.
This SMS Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when an individual chooses to initiate communication with Ocean Road Advisors by text message.
Inbound SMS Communications Only
Ocean Road Advisors does not initiate outbound SMS marketing, promotional campaigns, mass text messaging, or unsolicited SMS communications.
Our SMS capabilities are intended primarily for inbound communications initiated by clients, prospective clients, business contacts, vendors, or other individuals.
If you send a text message to an Ocean Road Advisors telephone number, we will NOT respond by SMS.
Information We May Collect
When you initiate an SMS communication with Ocean Road Advisors, we may collect and process information including:
- Your mobile telephone number
- Your name or other identifying information you voluntarily provide
- The content of your text message
- Date and time information associated with the communication
- Subsequent messages exchanged as part of the conversation
- Information reasonably necessary to respond to your request
We collect this information because you voluntarily initiated communication with us.
How SMS Information Is Used
Information received through SMS may be used to:
- Strictly used for inbound communications from vendors, such as multifactor SMS authentication codes, etc.
- Provide requested information from vendors
- Protect against fraud, misuse, or security threats
- Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
Ocean Road Advisors does not use inbound SMS information to engage individuals in unsolicited marketing or promotional text-message campaigns.
No SMS Marketing or Promotional Messages
Ocean Road Advisors does not use SMS to send unsolicited marketing, advertising, promotional offers, or mass marketing communications.
We do not operate an SMS marketing subscription program based merely on an individual contacting us by text.
Initiating an SMS conversation with Ocean Road Advisors does not constitute consent to receive marketing or promotional SMS messages.
SMS Consent and Mobile Information
Consent associated with SMS communications is limited to the communication initiated by the individual and any reasonable responses necessary to address that communication.
Mobile information, telephone numbers, SMS consent, and SMS opt-in information will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Information may be disclosed to service providers that assist us with communications, telecommunications, information technology, security, or other business operations, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide those services.
Third-Party Service Providers
Ocean Road Advisors may utilize telecommunications carriers, telephone providers, messaging platforms, technology providers, or other service providers to receive, process, store, or transmit SMS communications.
When such providers process information on our behalf, information may be shared only to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the communication or provide the applicable service.
We do not authorize these service providers to use your mobile information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
Message and Data Rates
Standard message and data rates imposed by your wireless carrier may apply when you send or receive SMS messages.
Ocean Road Advisors is not responsible for fees or charges imposed by your wireless carrier or telecommunications provider.
Stopping SMS Communications
Because Ocean Road Advisors does not operate a recurring outbound SMS subscription program, individuals generally will not receive ongoing SMS messages from us.
If you have initiated an SMS conversation and subsequently do not wish to receive further responses by text, you may reply STOP or inform us that you prefer another method of communication.
We will honor reasonable requests to discontinue SMS communication, subject to communications that may be legally required.
Data Retention
SMS communications and associated information may be retained for legitimate business, recordkeeping, compliance, security, or legal purposes.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law, regulation, contractual obligation, or legitimate business requirements.
Data Security
Ocean Road Advisors maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
While we take reasonable measures to safeguard information, SMS communications are transmitted through telecommunications networks and systems that may not be controlled by Ocean Road Advisors. Accordingly, individuals should avoid sending highly sensitive, confidential, financial, or other protected information by SMS unless specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate secure method.
No Sale or Marketing Sharing of SMS Information
Ocean Road Advisors does not sell, rent, or share mobile telephone numbers, SMS communication information, or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Information obtained through SMS is used only for legitimate business purposes related to the communication initiated by the individual, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Changes to This SMS Privacy Policy
Ocean Road Advisors may update this SMS Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, legal requirements, or communications procedures.
Any updated policy will be posted on our website with an updated effective date.
