Your Opt-In authorizes Jon Chitwood for Kansas House to send recurring SMS/MMS messages to the mobile number associated with your Opt-In using automated or non-automated technology, where permitted by law. Messages may include campaign updates, customer-care or administrative messages, event invitations and reminders, volunteer opportunities, donation solicitations, advocacy messages, voting information, election reminders, get-out-the-vote messages, calls to action, and related political campaign communications.
Consent to receive text messages is not required to make a contribution, volunteer, request a yard sign, attend an event, obtain campaign information, or otherwise support the campaign. Phone and mobile fields on campaign-controlled web forms are optional, and any SMS-consent checkbox must be separate, optional, and unchecked by default.
By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant mobile number or the customary user of that number on a family or business plan and that you are authorized to provide the Opt-In. You consent to the use of an electronic record to document your Opt-In.
You may receive one or more welcome, confirmation, verification, or administrative messages in addition to the campaign messages described above.
Message Frequency and Charges
Message frequency is up to 8 messages per month. Messaging & Data Rates apply.
You must have a wireless device capable of two-way text messaging, use a participating wireless carrier, and have text-messaging service. Not all carriers or devices support all messaging services. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
We may suspend or terminate the messaging program or your participation at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law. These terms continue to apply to messages sent or received before termination.
SMS Opt-Out
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT. We will also honor any other clear request to stop receiving messages, including requests communicated by text, email, telephone, or another reasonable method.
- STOP

Your opt-out request may generate one final confirmation message. After that confirmation, we will not send further campaign text messages unless you provide a new Opt-In.

You may also use that address to request a free paper or emailed copy of your Opt-In record, update your contact information, or obtain help with campaign messages. Minimum technology requirements may apply to electronic records.
Your information will be handled as described in this Privacy Policy. These SMS/MMS Terms and Conditions are available at https://votechitwood.com/privacy.html#sms.

You may unsubscribe from campaign emails by using the unsubscribe link included in campaign emails or by contacting us at info@VoteChitwood.com.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. No person under 13 may enroll in or use the campaign's messaging program. Individuals between 13 and 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian before using the messaging program or submitting personal information through campaign forms.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including donation platforms, social media platforms, maps, or other services.
Any information you provide to a third-party website is governed by that third party's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party websites.
Contributions
When you make a contribution to Jon Chitwood for Kansas House, state or federal law may require us to collect and report certain information.

Contribution and donor information may be added to the campaign's contact-management records and lists for lawful campaign administration. A donation, donor phone number, general contact permission, or addition to a campaign list does not by itself establish SMS consent. We will treat a donor as SMS-consented only when a separate affirmative opt-in and the associated consent record are available.
We do not store full credit card numbers on our website.
