If you provide your mobile phone number and check the consent box on our booking form, we will send you transactional SMS messages related to your session, including confirmations, reminders, portal access codes, and post-session follow-ups.

Message frequency: Message frequency varies based on your session activity, typically 2–4 messages per session.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier plan.

To opt out: Reply STOP to any message from ev&Me at any time. You will receive one final confirmation message and no further messages will be sent.

• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Business transfers: If ev&Me LLC is acquired or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations.
