SMS / Text messaging privacy & terms.

Program description

Sean Lee for Insurance Commissioner 2026 ("we," "our," "the campaign") operates a peer-to-peer and application-to-person (A2P) text messaging program that delivers campaign updates, event invitations, volunteer opportunities, fundraising appeals, voter mobilization messages, and other communications related to Dr. Sean Lee's candidacy for California Insurance Commissioner in the June 2, 2026 primary election.

Opt-in (how you join the program)

You consent to receive text messages from the campaign when you take any of the following actions:

• Enter your mobile phone number on a campaign sign-up, volunteer, donation, contact, or event RSVP form on seanlee4california.com or any campaign-operated landing page.
• Reply with your mobile number to a campaign email or social-media message requesting it.
• Text a campaign keyword (e.g. SEAN, VOTE, JOIN) to a campaign short code or long code.
• Provide your number verbally to a campaign volunteer at an in-person event and authorize them to add you.

Consent is not a condition of donation, volunteering, or any other transaction with the campaign. You may participate in the campaign without ever providing a phone number.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies based on campaign activity and election proximity. You can typically expect up to ten (10) messages per month outside the final two weeks before the June 2, 2026 primary. During the final two weeks, frequency may increase to up to four (4) messages per week for voter mobilization (Get Out The Vote / GOTV).

Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply. Standard wireless carrier rates for text messages and data may be charged by your mobile carrier. The campaign does not charge a separate fee to receive or send text messages. Check your wireless plan for details on text messaging and data charges.

Opt-out instructions (STOP)

You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time and at no cost. To opt out:

• Reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to any text message from the campaign.
• You will receive a single confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out, after which no further messages will be sent.
• If you continue to receive messages after opting out, contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and correct.

• The mobile phone number you provided.

• Your message-engagement history (whether you opted out, replied, clicked links).

Mobile information sharing (carrier-required disclosure)

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories of information collected by the campaign are subject to our general Privacy & Terms.

Limited sharing occurs only with the following categories of service providers, bound by contract to use the information solely to deliver SMS on the campaign's behalf:

• SMS aggregators and platforms (e.g., Twilio, Bandwidth, Hustle, Spoke, or similar) that physically transmit messages to wireless carriers.
• Wireless carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, U.S. Cellular, and others) for the technical delivery of messages.
• Compliance vendors (e.g., The Campaign Registry / TCR) that handle A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration.
• Campaign service providers (CRM, vote-targeting, security) under written confidentiality agreements.

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade mobile phone numbers to any third party for marketing or promotional purposes, ever.

Carrier disclaimer

Wireless carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, U.S. Cellular, and others) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. The campaign cannot guarantee message delivery and is not responsible for messages that are blocked, filtered, or delayed by your carrier's network.
