Willamette Valley Christian School (“WVCS”) respects the privacy of parents and guardians who participate in the WVCS Field Trip Text Notifications program.

Date and time of consent.
-
Method and source of consent.

The version of the consent language accepted.

WVCS collects this information only after the parent or guardian affirmatively chooses to enroll in text notifications.
How We Use Mobile Information
WVCS uses mobile information to provide requested school-related text notifications concerning student field trips.

Sharing of Mobile Information
WVCS does not share, sell, rent, or otherwise provide mobile telephone numbers or text-messaging opt-in and consent information to 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. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent information will not be shared with any third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
WVCS may use contracted service providers, including telecommunications and technology providers, solely as necessary to operate and deliver the requested messaging service. These service providers may process information only to perform services on behalf of WVCS and may not use mobile information or consent information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
Message Frequency and Charges
Message frequency varies according to applicable school activities and field trips but typically will not exceed four messages per month.
Message and data rates may apply according to the recipient’s mobile-service plan.
Recipient Choices
Participation in the WVCS Field Trip Text Notifications program is optional.
Recipients may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any WVCS text message. After an opt-out request is received, WVCS will send a confirmation message and discontinue additional Field Trip Text Notifications unless the recipient affirmatively enrolls again.
Recipients may reply HELP for assistance or contact the WVCS school office at 503-393-5236.
Data Protection
WVCS uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect mobile information and messaging consent records from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and WVCS cannot guarantee absolute security.
