In line with this commitment, we have established the following policy for the use of our SMS text messaging service. Please read it carefully to understand how we collect, use, and manage your phone numbers.

COLLECTION OF PHONE NUMBERS

We collect your phone numbers only when you voluntarily provide them to us, for example, during transactions, inquiries, or when you sign up for our promotional messages.

We will only share your phone number with our SMS provider, subject to their privacy policy.  We use MailChimp to send all SMS communications to users who have opted in. Please view MailChimp’s here https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/ with information on how they use user information.
