We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, and general website usage information through cookies or similar technologies.

​

2. How We Use Information

3. SMS and Text Messaging Privacy

AMAUTA may offer SMS or text messaging programs for individuals who have consented to receive such communications. Messages may include informational updates, community outreach, surveys, requests for feedback, event information, business communications, marketing communications, or other communications described when you opt in.
 

Mobile information, including mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and messaging consent, will not be shared, sold, rented, or provided to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

​

SMS opt-in data and consent are specific to AMAUTA and are not transferable to another organization or business.

​

We may disclose information to vendors or service providers that perform services on our behalf and are necessary to facilitate our messaging program, such as telecommunications, messaging, technology, hosting, or customer-support providers. Such providers may use the information only as necessary to provide services on our behalf and may not use SMS opt-in information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

​

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

​

You may opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to a message. You may reply HELP for assistance or contact AMAUTA using the contact information provided below.

After opting out, you may receive a final confirmation message acknowledging your request. We will not send additional SMS messages through that messaging program unless you subsequently provide consent to receive messages again.

​

4. Consent to Communications

Where required by applicable law or industry standards, AMAUTA obtains consent before sending SMS marketing or recurring text communications.

​

Providing a telephone number through a general contact form, business inquiry, survey, or other interaction does not by itself constitute consent to receive recurring marketing text messages unless the individual is clearly informed that they are opting in and affirmatively provides such consent.

Where an online form is used to obtain SMS consent, the SMS consent mechanism will be presented separately and will not be preselected.

​

Individuals may withdraw their consent to SMS communications at any time by replying STOP.

​

5. How We Share Information

​

We do not sell or rent personal information for monetary consideration.

​

We may disclose personal information to service providers, contractors, consultants, or other organizations that assist us in operating our business, website, communications, research, or services, provided that such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and this Privacy Policy.

​

We may also disclose information:

​

• When required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process

• To protect the rights, property, safety, or security of AMAUTA, our clients, website users, or others

• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction

• At your direction or with your consent
   

Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and SMS consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

​

6. Information Collected on Behalf of Clients

​

AMAUTA is a public affairs and communications firm and may conduct research, outreach, surveys, community engagement, or communications on behalf of clients.

​

When we collect or process information on behalf of a client, the applicable client may determine the purposes for which that information is collected and used. Additional notices or disclosures may be provided at the time information is collected when appropriate.

​

However, SMS consent provided specifically to AMAUTA will not automatically constitute consent to receive messages from an AMAUTA client or any other organization.

​

7. Cookies and Website Analytics

​

Our website may use cookies, analytics technologies, or similar tools to understand website usage, improve functionality, measure engagement, and maintain website security.

​

Depending on the technologies used on our website, third-party service providers may process technical or usage information on our behalf.

​

You may be able to limit cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

​

8. Data Security

​

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or method of communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

9. Data Retention

​

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide our services, maintain appropriate business and consent records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

​

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.
