Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run the service.

Information you give us directly

  • Mobile phone number. Required to deliver the SMS content you subscribe to.
  • Email address. Optional at sign-up; required for billing and receipts.
  • Payment information. Processed by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems — Stripe handles card data directly under PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.
  • Consent record. When you subscribe, we record the date, time, and IP address of your consent action so we can prove opt-in if a carrier or regulator asks.
  • Messages you send us. When you reply to our SMS messages (with HELP, a question, or any other text), we store your reply so we can respond to you and improve our content.

Information we collect automatically

  • Website analytics. When you visit cuttokencosts.com we collect standard web-analytics data: pages viewed, referring site, browser type, approximate location (city level, from IP address), and time on page. We use this to understand how the site is used and improve it.
  • Cookies. Our site uses a small number of cookies for essential functions (keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences) and for analytics. You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

Information we do not collect

  • We do not use tracking pixels from advertising networks.
  • We do not build behavioral profiles for advertising.
  • We do not collect precise location data (GPS coordinates).
  • We do not collect health, financial account, or other sensitive personal information beyond what is described above.

How we use your information

  • To deliver the SMS content you have subscribed to.
  • To respond to replies you send us, including HELP requests, questions, and unsubscribe requests.
  • To send transactional messages about your subscription (welcome, billing notifications, service changes).
  • To process your subscription payment and send you receipts.
  • To improve our content based on which topics generate the most questions and engagement.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse of the reply channel.
  • We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell your information.

SMS Messaging and Phone Number Data

When you subscribe to Cut Token Costs, we collect your mobile phone number and (optionally) your email address. We use your phone number solely to deliver the SMS content you have subscribed to receive, to respond to replies you send (including HELP requests and unsubscribe requests), and to send transactional messages related to your subscription (billing notifications, service changes).

We do not sell, rent, share, or otherwise transfer your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in status to any third party for their marketing purposes. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subprocessors is permitted only for the following purposes: providing the SMS service itself (our messaging provider, Twilio Inc.) and processing subscription payments (Stripe, Inc.). These subprocessors are contractually prohibited from using your phone number for any purpose other than delivering the service on our behalf.

You may cancel the SMS service at any time by texting “STOP” to the number from which you receive messages. After you send “STOP,” we will send you a confirmation message and will not send you additional messages unless you resubscribe. If you need help, text “HELP” to the same number, or contact us at Connect@CutTokenCosts.com. Carrier and data rates may apply to messages we send you or that you send us.

We retain phone numbers of unsubscribed users solely to prevent accidental re-messaging. We do not use unsubscribed numbers for any other purpose. You may request full deletion of your phone number from our records by emailing Connect@CutTokenCosts.com; we will complete the deletion within 30 days.

Who we share your information with

We share information only with the following categories of recipients, and only for the purposes described.

  • Service providers acting on our behalf. Twilio Inc. (SMS delivery) and Stripe, Inc. (subscription billing and payment processing). We may also use a web analytics provider for site improvement. Each of these subprocessors is contractually required to use your information only to provide services to us.
  • Legal and safety. We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
  • Business transfers. If 2 Degree Shift, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your choices and rights

  • Unsubscribe from SMS. Text “STOP” at any time. Immediate.
  • Unsubscribe from email. Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send.
  • Access, correction, deletion. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion of your information. Email Connect@CutTokenCosts.com. We will respond within 30 days.
  • Do not track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how to do so.

  • The right to know what personal information we have collected about you.
  • The right to delete personal information we have collected from you.
