SMS Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 19, 2026
The Cheer and Pom SMS notification service is operated by C2 Content & Consulting LLC ("we," "us," "our"), which owns and operates this website, the enrollment form, and the sending phone number. Messages are sent under the Cheer and Pom name. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information in connection with that SMS notification service (the "Service"), which delivers team absence notifications to adult volunteers aged 18 or older who serve as head coaches, assistant coaches, designated team parents (sometimes called team moms), or the Cheer and Pom Director.
1. Information We Collect
When you participate in the Service as a recipient (head coach, assistant coach, designated team parent, or the Director), we collect:
- Your full name and role
- Your mobile phone number
- Your email address (if provided during volunteer onboarding)
When a parent submits an absentee form, we also collect the following information solely for the purpose of relaying it to the athlete's coach and team parent:
- Athlete name
- Team affiliation
- Date and type of absence (practice, game, or competition)
- Reason for absence
- Submitting parent's name, phone number, and email address
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect solely to:
- Send SMS notifications to the head coach and team parent of the relevant team when an absence is reported
- Maintain an internal absence log for coaches and the Director for accountability and practice planning
- Send the submitting parent an email confirmation that their absence report was received
- Respond to service-related inquiries, including opt-out and help requests
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your mobile phone number or any personal information to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes under any circumstances. Your phone number is used exclusively to deliver SMS notifications related to Cheer and Pom team operations.
We share information only with the following service providers, and only to the extent necessary for them to operate the Service on our behalf:
- Twilio, Inc.: SMS message delivery
- Google LLC: form submission, data storage, and email delivery
These providers are contractually obligated to use the information solely to deliver the Service and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
4. SMS Opt-Out
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT to any message received through the Service. You will receive a one-time confirmation of your opt-out, after which no further SMS messages will be sent to your number. You may opt back in at any time by replying START. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information below.
5. Message Frequency and Rates
Message frequency depends on the number of absences submitted for your team and varies throughout the season. Standard message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier plan. Cheer and Pom does not charge to send or receive SMS messages through this Service. Please consult your mobile carrier for information regarding your plan's messaging rates.
6. Data Retention
Absence records are retained for the duration of the current competitive season plus one (1) additional year for organizational recordkeeping. Phone numbers of opted-out recipients are retained solely to ensure opt-out requests continue to be honored.
7. Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect the information we collect. Access to absence records is restricted to the applicable team's head coach, designated team parent, and the Cheer and Pom Director.
8. Children's Privacy
The SMS Service is intended solely for adult volunteers aged 18 or older who serve as head coaches, assistant coaches, designated team parents (sometimes called team moms), or the Cheer and Pom Director. We do not knowingly collect information from, or send SMS messages to, anyone under the age of 18.
