This Privacy Policy explains how RipKord42 handles information for its website and SMS messaging. This page is intended to satisfy SMS campaign registration requirements and to make the rules clear for anyone who interacts with the service.

SMS messaging purpose

RipKord42 SMS messaging is used for private, user-requested notifications and operational messages, such as alerts, reminders, status updates, and automation-related messages.

SMS messaging is not used for public marketing campaigns, lead generation, cold outreach, or third-party advertising.

SMS consent and opt-in

SMS messages are sent only to phone numbers that have been intentionally provided or approved for this purpose by the recipient or the account owner.

By providing a phone number for SMS notifications, you consent to receive text messages from RipKord42 related to the requested service or automation.

Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

SMS opt-out and help

You can opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying:

• STOP to unsubscribe
• HELP for help or support information

After an opt-out request is received, SMS messages to that number will stop unless the recipient later requests or authorizes messages again.

Message frequency and costs

Message frequency varies based on the requested notifications, alerts, and automations. Messages may be occasional or event-driven.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with RipKord42, we may collect:

• Phone numbers used for SMS messaging
• SMS message content and delivery metadata
• Names or contact details provided directly for support or configuration
• Website usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps, and basic server logs
• Information needed to operate, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the website or messaging service

How we use information

Information is used to:

• Send requested SMS messages and notifications
• Respond to support or help requests
• Manage opt-in and opt-out status
• Troubleshoot delivery, reliability, and security issues
• Maintain and secure the website and related systems
• Comply with applicable legal, carrier, and platform requirements

Sharing and selling information

RipKord42 does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

SMS opt-in data, phone numbers, and consent records are not shared with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Information may be shared only with service providers needed to operate the website or messaging service, such as hosting providers, telecommunications providers, messaging platforms, or security/logging tools. These providers are used only as needed to deliver and maintain the service.

Information may also be disclosed if required by law, regulation, legal process, or a valid request from a public authority.

Data retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service operation, troubleshooting, opt-out compliance, security, and legal or carrier requirements.

SMS opt-out records may be retained to ensure that opt-out requests continue to be honored.

Security

Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Children's privacy

RipKord42 messaging and website services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Links to other websites

The website may contain links to third-party websites. RipKord42 is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third-party sites.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
