Text Messaging (SMS) Communications

AM CPA ("we," "us," or "our") offers text messaging (SMS) as an optional way to communicate with clients regarding ongoing engagements, services, and general questions. This section explains what information we collect through this program, how we use it, how we share it, and how you can contact us or opt out.

1) Information We Collect

• Contact Information: name, mobile phone number.
• Messaging Information: message content related to scheduling, document requests, engagement updates, and general client service communications.
• Technical Data: carrier and delivery data (e.g., START/STOP status) collected through our SMS platform as needed to manage opt-in/opt-out status.

2) Purpose of Messaging & Information Use
AM CPA uses text messaging solely to communicate with clients about their ongoing engagement, our services, appointment scheduling, and to answer client questions. We do not use SMS for marketing or promotional purposes.

3) Data Sharing & Sale of Data

• We do not sell personal information.

Clients opt in to receive SMS communications verbally, during onboarding or another client interaction, when providing their phone number. At that time, clients are informed that message and data rates may apply, message frequency may vary, and they may reply STOP at any time to opt out. Consent to receive SMS is not a condition of receiving services from AM CPA, and clients may opt out at any time without affecting their engagement with our firm.
