We also automatically collect usage data (such as IP address, device information, and analytics via Google Analytics and Google Maps).

Text Messaging (SMS) Communications

We may collect phone numbers and use them to send text messages (SMS/MMS) for direct, conversational communication with known individuals (such as appointment reminders, updates, responses to inquiries, or other business-related matters). We do not send marketing or promotional text messages unless you have separately opted in.

SMS Consent Statement

SMS consent and opt-in information is not shared with third parties or affiliates. We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number or SMS consent for marketing purposes with any third parties or affiliates.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. Message and data rates may apply. For help, reply HELP.

Data Retention

Shop compliance documents and related records are retained indefinitely to maintain certification history. Other data is kept only as long as necessary.
