SMS and MMS Messaging Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 31, 2026
This privacy policy describes how Crypto Guidance Inc. collects, uses, and protects your mobile phone number and any messages sent to you when you opt in to SMS, MMS, or phone communications from us. By providing your mobile number and checking the consent box on our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
What We Send
We use SMS text messages, MMS multimedia messages, and phone calls to send you information about:
- Workshop schedules, reminders, and enrollment confirmations
- Continuing education announcements and course availability
- Special offers, promotions, and pricing updates related to our consulting services
- Appointment reminders for scheduled consulting sessions
- Account confirmations and transactional notices related to products you have purchased
We do not send marketing messages that are unrelated to the services listed above. We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile number with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
How You Opt In
You opt in to SMS and MMS messages by visiting cryptoguidance.org, entering your mobile phone number into the sign-up form, and checking the box that confirms your agreement to receive messages from us. Your opt-in is logged with your phone number, the date, and the time of consent.
If you opt in by text message, you do so by texting a keyword such as JOIN or SUBSCRIBE to the number provided on our website. Your consent is recorded at the time your message is received.
How You Opt Out
You may stop receiving messages at any time. To opt out:
- Reply STOP to any message we send. You will be removed from our messaging list and will receive one final confirmation message.
- Reply HELP to any message for assistance with opt-out instructions.
- Contact us by email at john@cryptoguidance.org or by phone at (816) 631-2604 and request removal.
After you opt out, you will not receive further SMS or MMS messages from us unless you re-opt in through the website or by texting the keyword again.
Message Frequency
Message frequency varies. You may receive up to 4 messages per month under normal circumstances. During active workshop enrollment or promotional periods, you may receive up to 8 messages per month. We do not send messages between 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM Central Time except for transactional confirmations that are triggered by your actions on our website.
Phone Call Consent
By providing your phone number and checking the consent box, you also agree to receive phone calls from us related to the same categories listed above: workshop follow-ups, consulting scheduling, and customer service. You may revoke call consent at the same time you revoke SMS consent by replying STOP, emailing us, or calling us and asking to be removed.
