SMS Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 10/16/2026
This SMS Privacy Policy explains how Pearl Engineering Corporation (“Pearl,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with text messaging (SMS) on its business phone number 715-972-6532 (the “Program”). Pearl uses this number only to receive multi-factor authentication (MFA) verification codes from websites and online services that Pearl uses to conduct its normal business operations. This policy applies specifically to these SMS communications.
Information We Collect
When a text message is sent to 715-972-6532, we receive the sender’s phone number or short code, the content of the message (typically a one-time verification code), and the date and time the message was received. If someone texts STOP or HELP to this number, we receive that message and the sender’s phone number.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information received through this Program only to:
- Complete sign-in and identity verification on websites and online services that Pearl uses for its business operations
- Protect Pearl’s business accounts and data from unauthorized access
- Send automated responses required by wireless carriers, such as replies to STOP or HELP
- Maintain records needed for security, troubleshooting, and IT support
We do not use information received through this Program for marketing or promotional purposes, and we do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
Information Sharing
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information received through this Program is shared only with service providers who help us operate our phone and messaging services, such as Microsoft (our SMS platform), wireless carriers, and Pearl’s managed IT service provider, and only as needed to deliver and support the Program. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Data Retention
Verification codes are single-use and are relevant only at the time of sign-in. Message records are retained only as long as needed for security, support, and legal or regulatory obligations, and are then deleted or archived in accordance with Pearl’s standard data retention practices.
Your Choices
If you have texted this number, you may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving any automated responses from it, or reply HELP for assistance. You may also contact us at 715-424-4008 or info@pearlengineering.com.
