Messaging Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
Brazos Pregnancy Center (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Messaging Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information related specifically to our SMS/text messaging communications.
Purpose of This Policy
Brazos Pregnancy Center uses text messaging as a convenient way to communicate appointment reminders, scheduling updates, resource information, and supportive messages. Because texting is not a fully secure form of communication, this policy outlines how we protect your confidentiality and how you can protect your own privacy when using SMS/text messaging with our center.

We do not use your information for marketing purposes.

Your information is only accessible to authorized staff or approved service providers who assist us in delivering messages on our behalf. These individuals are required to protect your data and follow Brazos Pregnancy Center’s confidentiality standards.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

- Use a passcode or biometric lock on your phone
- Delete messages if privacy is a concern
- Notify us immediately if your phone number changes
