1. Scope
This SMS Privacy Policy explains how LKCM Radio Group, LP (“LKCM Radio Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects mobile telephone numbers and related information in connection with our text messaging (SMS) programs.
It supplements our general Privacy Policy. Where the two differ with respect to text messaging, this SMS Privacy Policy controls.
2. Our SMS programs
LKCM Ops Alerts (internal operational alerting)
Automated notifications sent to LKCM Radio Group employees and contracted engineering staff regarding the status of broadcast equipment, transmitters, STL and remote codec links, streaming audio, playout automation, and studio IT infrastructure. Messages are generated by monitoring systems in response to operational events rather than on a schedule. Message frequency varies. This program is a closed internal list and is not available to the public.
Messages in this program are sent from 1-877-359-1249.
3. Information we collect
- Mobile telephone number.
- The name, role, and work contact information of the person enrolling, for internal alerting programs.
- Records of consent, including the signed authorization form, the date consent was given, and the staff member who processed the enrollment.
- Message delivery logs, including timestamps, delivery status, and inbound keyword replies such as STOP, START, and HELP.
We do not collect message content from your device, your contacts, your location, or any other information from your handset.
4. How we use this information
- To deliver the messages you consented to receive.
- To process and honor STOP, START, and HELP requests.
- To maintain records demonstrating that consent was obtained, as required by mobile carriers and applicable law.
- To diagnose delivery problems and maintain the reliability of the service.
We do not use mobile numbers collected for SMS for advertising, audience targeting, or any purpose unrelated to the program the number was enrolled in.
5. Sharing of mobile information
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories of information sharing described in our Privacy Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
We use messaging service providers to transmit messages on our behalf. These providers process mobile numbers solely to deliver our messages and are contractually prohibited from using them for any other purpose.
We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or other valid legal process, or where necessary to protect the safety of our staff, our facilities, or the public.
We do not sell or rent mobile telephone numbers.
6. Consent
Enrollment in LKCM Ops Alerts requires written opt-in. The individual completes and signs the LKCM Ops Alerts SMS Authorization form before their number is added to the alert list. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of employment or of any purchase. Signed authorizations are retained by LKCM Radio Group.
7. Opting out
Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving messages from that program. You will receive a single confirmation message and no further messages. Reply START or SUBSCRIBE to re-enroll. You may also opt out by contacting us using the details in Section 12.
8. Help
Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us using the details in Section 12.
9. Message frequency and cost
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Charges are set by your mobile carrier and are your responsibility.
10. Carriers
Delivery is subject to the availability of your mobile carrier’s network. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Supported carriers may change without notice.
11. Retention and security
We retain mobile numbers and consent records for as long as the individual remains enrolled, and for a reasonable period afterward in order to demonstrate that consent was properly obtained and honored. Numbers are removed from active alert lists upon opt-out or upon separation from LKCM Radio Group.
We maintain administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of this information.
