Information we collect
- Information you give us. When you submit a form on our site (contact, volunteer, partner, event, or pre-intake), subscribe to our newsletter, or opt in to text messages, we collect the details you provide — such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message you write.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic analytics (pages visited, browser type, general location, referring site) through cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used.
How we use information
- Respond to your inquiries and requests
- Send the newsletter or updates you asked for
- Send appointment reminder text messages if you opted in
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website
- Meet legal, safety, and reporting obligations
Text messaging (SMS)
If you opt in to appointment reminder text messages from Good Samaritan Outreach, we collect your mobile phone number and a record of your consent (when, how, and by whom it was collected). We use this information only to send you reminders about appointments on your GSO schedule and to process your STOP and HELP replies. See how the text message program works and our SMS Terms of Service.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services, such as our SMS provider (Twilio), is permitted solely to deliver the messages on our behalf. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, and this information will not be shared with any third parties. We do not sell mobile information, and mobile opt-in and consent data are never shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates.
Message frequency varies by your appointment schedule (up to about 10 messages per week). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help at any time.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers who perform work for us (email delivery, form processing, donation processing, SMS delivery, analytics), under agreements that limit their use of it
- When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of GSO, our clients, or the public
Data retention & security
We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices
- Email: click “unsubscribe” in any newsletter, or email us
- Text messages: reply STOP to any message to stop them; reply START to resume
- Cookies: most browsers let you block or delete cookies
Children’s privacy
