Updated 5/1/26

CENTURY is committed to protecting your privacy. This SMS Privacy Policy, the “Policy,” governs how we treat the Personal Information that we collect and receive from you in connection with your use of the SMS messaging service, the “Service,” which we make available to you through a third-party service provider. This Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy. CENTURY reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or change this Policy at any time, with or without prior notice to you. The date of the last update will be posted at the top of this Policy for your convenience. This Policy, and any changes, are effective as soon as posted. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to the Policy constitutes your full acceptance of those changes.

“Personal Information” is information that individually identifies you, such as your mobile phone number or user/screen name, as well as any Personal Information that you choose to include in messages you send through the Service.
