    • Browser type and version
    • Operating system
    • Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
    • Cookies and similar technologies (for site functionality and analytics—see our Cookie Policy section below)
  • SMS/Text Messaging Information If you opt in to receive SMS notifications (e.g., by texting a keyword, filling out a sign-up form, or providing your number at the club), we collect your mobile phone number, consent date/time, and message interaction data (e.g., replies, opt-outs).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and improve our services (e.g., respond to inquiries, process membership requests, manage event registrations)
  • Send important club updates, event reminders, safety notices, and other non-promotional communications
  • Send SMS/text notifications if you have opted in (e.g., range closures, upcoming shoots, or member alerts)
  • Communicate with you about your membership or requests
  • Comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our rules
  • Analyze Site usage to improve user experience

We do not use your information for unrelated marketing by third parties.

3. SMS/Text Messaging Specifics

If you opt in to our SMS program (e.g., by texting "JOIN" to our number, signing up on our Site, or providing consent at the club), you agree to receive recurring text messages from Spartanburg Gun Club, including event announcements, updates, and alerts. Message frequency varies (e.g., 1–4 messages per month). Message and data rates may apply. Reply "HELP" for help or "STOP" to opt out at any time. Opting out will end all future SMS from us, but will not affect prior communications.

4. SMS Mobile Information Sharing Disclosure

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.

All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties except as necessary to provide the messaging service (e.g., with our SMS platform provider for delivery purposes only, or as required by law).

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in limited circumstances:

  • With service providers (e.g., our website host, email/SMS service provider like EZ Texting, payment processors if applicable) who help us operate the Site and services—they are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify
  • To comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, or ensure safety (e.g., in connection with a subpoena or to prevent harm)
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of club assets (your information may be transferred as part of those assets)

We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

  • Opt-Out of SMS: Reply "STOP" to any message or contact us to be removed.
  • Access or Update Information: Contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information (subject to legal exceptions).
