Text Messaging (SMS) and Mobile Information
When you submit your mobile number through our contact form or provide it in a conversation with us, and agree to be contacted, you consent to receive text messages from a Tailwinds Ed Consulting associate regarding educational opportunities at our partner institutions, including appointment scheduling, reminders, and related follow-up.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message, after which you will receive no further texts. Reply HELP for assistance, or contact us using the details below.
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.

How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your mobile phone number or SMS consent with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share information only as follows:
- With educational institutions. When you submit an inquiry, we share the contact and program-interest information you provide with the admissions team at the educational institution(s) you have expressed interest in, so they can contact you about the opportunities you requested. This is the service you asked us to perform.
- With service providers. We use trusted vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as our text-messaging platform, scheduling tools, and website hosting. These providers are permitted to use the information only to provide services to us and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- For legal reasons. We may disclose information when required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tailwinds, our users, or others.
We do not share text messaging opt-in data or your mobile number with any third party or affiliate for any other purpose.
