6. SMS and A2P 10DLC Messaging Policy

Active Rx Rehab & Wellness may offer text messaging for appointment-related, informational, customer-service, billing, care-coordination, or promotional communications.

You will receive text messages only after providing the level of consent required for the applicable type of communication.

By entering your mobile number and affirmatively opting in to receive text messages from Active Rx Rehab & Wellness, you agree to receive messages related to the purposes described at the point of opt-in. Messages may be sent using an automated system or application-to-person messaging technology.

7. SMS Opt-Out and Help Instructions

After you submit an opt-out request, you may receive one final text message confirming that your request has been processed. After that confirmation, you will no longer receive messages from that messaging program unless you opt in again.

Opting out of text messaging does not prevent us from contacting you through another method when permitted by law or when reasonably necessary to provide requested healthcare services.

8. Mobile Information and SMS Consent Privacy

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

We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer mobile telephone numbers, text-message opt-in information, or messaging consent to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Information may be disclosed to vendors or subcontractors that provide necessary support services on our behalf, such as telecommunications providers, text-messaging platforms, scheduling systems, customer-support providers, or technology vendors.

All categories of information sharing described in this Privacy Policy exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent. SMS opt-in information and consent will not be shared with third parties, affiliates, lead generators, or other businesses for marketing or promotional purposes.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and patient records, meet legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legal rights.

Medical and billing records may be retained for periods required by federal or Ohio law.

16. Children’s Privacy

Our general website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website without authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

Information concerning a minor patient may be collected and processed when necessary to provide healthcare services and as permitted by applicable law.
