SMS Policy
Last updated October 31, 2026
This policy explains how JRGOS uses text messages (SMS), what you are agreeing to if you give us your mobile number for that purpose, and how to stop messages at any time. It applies alongside our Privacy Policy.
Consent is always yours to give
JRGOS sends text messages only to people who have asked to receive them. You may be offered the option to receive texts when you join or renew, when you register for an event, or on a form that asks for a mobile number for that purpose.
Consent to receive texts is never a condition of membership, of registering for an event, or of making a purchase. You can hold any JRGOS membership, attend any program and use this website without agreeing to receive text messages.
What we may send
Where you have opted in, messages may include reminders and updates about events and educational programs you have registered for, membership and renewal reminders, and occasional Society announcements. We do not sell your mobile number, and we do not share it for anyone else’s marketing.
Frequency and cost
Message frequency varies with what you have signed up for. Message and data rates may apply, according to your plan with your mobile carrier. JRGOS does not charge for text messages.
How to stop
You can stop messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. You will get one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and then no further messages.
Reply HELP to any message for help, or contact us at info@gladdensociety.org.
Opting out of text messages does not unsubscribe you from JRGOS email, and does not affect your membership.
Carriers
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier, your device and your coverage, so please do not rely on a text message as the only way you will hear something important from us.
Your mobile number
We use your mobile number to send the messages you asked for and to keep a record of your consent and of any opt-out. It is held with your membership record and handled as described in our Privacy Policy. If you ask us to stop, we keep enough information to honor that request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The revised version will be posted here with a new “last updated” date.
