SMS/MMS Privacy
Authorized users may initiate a text conversation or send photos by MMS to our designated business messaging number. We use that information to provide the requested messaging and content-automation service, including confirmations, generated content, approval requests, processing updates, and status messages.
Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
We may provide phone numbers, message data, and submitted media to service providers when necessary to transmit messages, store or secure content, process an authorized request, or operate the service. Those providers may use the information only to perform services for us and as permitted by their agreements and applicable law.
Message frequency varies based on user activity. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to opt out of automated SMS/MMS messages. Reply HELP for assistance. See our Terms & Conditions for the complete messaging terms.

Photos, submitted content, and AI processing
When an authorized user sends photos, text, or notes to the automation service, automated systems and AI services may analyze that content to fulfill the request. Processing may include identifying the subject of a project, evaluating or organizing photos, and drafting social-media captions or related content. The system may return drafts for review and approval before publishing or scheduling.
Please do not submit content that you are not authorized to share or that contains sensitive information unnecessary for the request.
