Blue Mountain Community College (“BMCC”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This SMS Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and used when you choose to receive text message notifications from BMCC.
Students may voluntarily opt in to receive SMS notifications through BMCC’s application process, student portal, or other authorized college systems. By opting in, you agree to receive text messages related to your educational experience and interactions with the college. These messages may include registration notifications, waitlist updates, reminders, secure message notifications, account alerts, student services communications, and other academic or administrative information.
When you opt in to SMS notifications, BMCC may collect and store your mobile phone number, your consent preferences, and records related to text message delivery and responses. This information is used solely for providing and managing SMS communications and related student services.
BMCC does not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent information with third parties, affiliates, or partners for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS consent and phone numbers collected for the SMS notification program are used solely to provide college-related communications and services. BMCC may use trusted service providers, such as SMS delivery platforms, solely to facilitate the delivery of authorized text messages on behalf of the college.
Message frequency varies based on your interactions with BMCC and your student status. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier’s plan and policies.
You may opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message or by updating your notification preferences through the BMCC student portal, where available. You may request assistance by replying HELP to a message or by contacting the college directly.
BMCC uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information associated with its SMS notification program. However, no method of electronic communication or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
BMCC may update this SMS Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
