Text Messaging

Disability Qualification and its affiliates (collectively, “we”, “our” or “us”) may offer text messaging services that allow you to receive messages from us and send messages to us on your mobile phone (the “text messaging services”). In general, you will receive a text message from us only if you have consented to receiving text messages from us (or a third party who is our customer), or if we are able to text you under limited circumstances in accordance with the law. By using our text messaging services, you agree to the terms and conditions outlined below, which incorporate our Terms of Use by reference. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not use the text messaging services. You can stop receiving messages at any time by replying “STOP.”

Opt-In

To receive text messages from us, you must opt-in to the text messaging services by following the instructions for the specific text messaging program. This may involve sending a message to us from your mobile phone or signing up through our site(s) or a third party who is our customer. By signing up for the text messaging services, you consent to the use of an automatic dialing system to deliver text messages to the mobile phone number you have provided for the transmission of these text messages. Your consent to receiving text messages from us is not a condition of purchase.

One-Time Text Message Services

If you opt-in to a one-time text message service, you will receive a one-time message with the information or service you requested.

Recurring Messaging Services

If you opt-in to recurring messaging services, you will receive messages at the rate described when you sign up for the specific text messaging program. Subscribers to recurring text messaging services may receive a subscription continuity opt-in text message from time to time. This text message is to confirm that you wish to continue your subscription to the text messaging services. You must positively reply to the subscription continuity text message to remain subscribed to the text messaging services.

Interactive Text Messaging Services

If you opt-in to interactive text messaging services, the number of messages you receive will vary depending on the type of conversation in which you are engaged.

Healthcare Messages

If your healthcare provider has signed up for our text messaging services, you may automatically receive appointment reminder messages and other health care messages, as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which, under limited circumstances, are exempt from the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and sent at the request of your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider has represented and warranted to us that they have provided us with your correct and current mobile phone number and that they have received your consent to the use of an automatic dialing system to deliver appointment reminder messages and other informational health-related messages to the phone number you provided. The number of appointment reminders and other healthcare messages sent to you will depend on the number of messages that may be sent in accordance with law. If you respond to a text message and start a conversation with us, you agree we may continue to text you. If you have questions about the healthcare messages sent on behalf of your healthcare provider, you can read more here, contact your healthcare provider directly, or reply “HELP” within the text message for additional information.

Attorney Inquiry Text Messages

To receive text messages from us in connection with your attorney inquiry on our sites, including disabilityqualification.com, you must expressly opt-in to the text messaging services. You will know which texts you receive as you voluntarily and expressly opt-in while filling out an attorney inquiry form to receive text messages. We offer a text messaging service that allows you to receive contact information for attorneys in your area in response to your online inquiry submitted through our websites, including disabilityqualification.com.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
