3. SMS and MMS Privacy
MJG offers an optional SMS program known as Created for More — SMS Updates. Messages may include program updates, event reminders, resources, and encouragement.
You may opt in at:
You may opt out at:
You may also reply STOP to a message to unsubscribe or reply HELP for assistance. Message frequency varies and is generally limited to a few messages per month. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive SMS or MMS messages is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing any product or service, creating an account, accessing general website content, or receiving services that do not require text messaging.
Mobile Information and Messaging Consent
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Text-message originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold, rented, traded, or otherwise shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We may disclose mobile information and messaging-consent records only to vendors, telecommunications carriers, messaging aggregators, platform providers, and other service providers that need the information to deliver, route, secure, support, or document MJG communications. These providers are authorized to use the information only to perform services for MJG, comply with law, prevent fraud or abuse, or maintain messaging operations—not for their own independent marketing.
After an SMS opt-out request, we may send one final confirmation message. We will not send additional SMS marketing or program messages unless you later provide new consent, including by using the SMS Opt-In page.
4. Email Communications
You may subscribe to MJG email communications at:
You may unsubscribe at:
You may also unsubscribe through the link included in an email. We may continue to send non-promotional communications that are necessary to administer an account, respond to a request, provide a requested service, deliver security notices, or satisfy legal obligations.
We do not sell email addresses or email-consent records for another party’s independent marketing.
5. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

5.3 Business Transactions
If MJG is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal protections.
Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent will not be transferred or used for third-party marketing or promotional purposes as part of a business transaction.
5.4 At Your Direction
We may disclose information when you request or authorize us to do so.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, session technologies, and similar tools to:
- Keep you signed in
- Remember preferences
- Maintain security
- Understand website and feature usage
- Improve performance and reliability
- Measure communications and content engagement
Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies. Some features may not function properly if required cookies are disabled.
7. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
- Maintain accounts and provide requested services

8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no website, database, wireless transmission, email system, or internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.
9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Authorized agents may be required to provide proof of authority. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
10. Do Not Track and Preference Signals
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the services may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.
Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we will process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
The services may contain links to third-party websites, social networks, applications, embedded media, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.
MJG is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party services.
12. Children’s Privacy
The services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us through the MJG contact page.
13. United States Operations
MJG operates from the United States. If you access the services from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the revised version at:
The “Last Updated” date will indicate when the policy was most recently revised. Material changes may also be communicated through the website, dashboard, email, or another appropriate method.
