How we obtain your number: We may collect your phone number when you make a donation, register for an event, or otherwise provide it to us directly.

We do not share or sell your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your number and messaging data are used solely to communicate with you on behalf of Freedom House Ministries and are shared only with our SMS service provider, Text In Church, strictly to deliver those messages.
