Encore Symposium respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when registering for or participating in an Encore Symposium conference or event.

This SMS Privacy Policy explains how Encore Symposium collects, uses, and protects mobile telephone numbers and SMS messaging consent information when you choose to receive text messages from Encore Symposium.

1. Information We Collect

When you register for an Encore Symposium conference or event, you may provide personal information including your name, email address, mobile telephone number, mailing address, professional or registration information, and other information necessary to process and manage your registration.

If you choose to receive SMS text messages from Encore Symposium, we will also maintain a record of your SMS consent, including the mobile telephone number associated with your consent and, where applicable, the date and method through which consent was provided.

2. How We Use Your Mobile Telephone Number

If you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number and separately consent to receive SMS messages, Encore Symposium may use your mobile telephone number to send conference- and registration-related text messages.

These messages may include:

• Conference registration confirmations
• Registration and payment-related notifications
• Conference reminders
• Important conference updates
• Conference dates, times, locations, and scheduling information
• Changes to conference schedules or event information
• Information related to your participation in an Encore Symposium conference
• Customer service communications related to your registration or conference participation

Messages are intended to provide information and services related to Encore Symposium conferences and events.

3. SMS Consent Is Voluntary

Consent to receive SMS text messages is not required to register for or attend an Encore Symposium conference or event.

You may complete your registration without consenting to SMS communications.

Where SMS consent is requested during registration, the SMS consent option is presented separately from other required agreements and is not pre-selected. You must affirmatively choose to receive SMS messages.

4. No Sale or Marketing Sharing of Mobile Information

Encore Symposium does not sell, rent, or share your mobile telephone number, SMS opt-in information, or SMS consent records with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Your SMS consent information will not be used by another company to send you its own marketing or promotional text messages.

Encore Symposium does not transfer or sell SMS consent to another organization.

This restriction applies specifically to mobile information and SMS messaging consent.

5. Service Providers

Encore Symposium may use trusted service providers to assist with operating its registration, customer service, database, and SMS messaging systems.

For example, Encore Symposium uses technology and service providers to transmit SMS messages on Encore Symposium's behalf.

These service providers may process information, including mobile telephone numbers and messaging information, only as necessary to provide services to Encore Symposium and are not authorized to use your mobile telephone number or SMS consent information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

SMS messages sent by Encore Symposium are transmitted through its messaging service provider, including Twilio, as part of Encore Symposium's communication system.

6. How to Opt Out of SMS Messages

You may stop receiving SMS messages from Encore Symposium at any time.

To opt out, reply STOP to an Encore Symposium text message.

After you send STOP, Encore Symposium will process your request and discontinue SMS messages to that mobile telephone number, except where a message is necessary to confirm or administer your opt-out request or where otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

You may also contact Encore Symposium customer service and request that SMS communications be disabled for your mobile telephone number.

7. Help

For assistance with Encore Symposium SMS messages, reply HELP to an Encore Symposium text message or contact Encore Symposium customer service through the contact information provided on the Encore Symposium website.

8. Message Frequency

Message frequency varies depending on your conference registration, upcoming conference dates, scheduling, and other communications related to your participation in Encore Symposium events.

Encore Symposium does not send a fixed number of messages to every subscriber.

9. Message and Data Rates

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

Encore Symposium does not control or determine charges imposed by your mobile carrier.

10. Security and Protection of Information

Encore Symposium takes reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Changes to This SMS Privacy Policy

Encore Symposium may update this SMS Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our SMS program, business practices, technology, or applicable requirements.

Any updated version will be posted on this website with an updated effective date.
