4. Mobile Information and SMS Communications
This section describes how Slipstream Boating handles information related to our SMS text messaging program.

These subprocessors are contractually restricted to using the information only to provide the SMS service.
- Message and data rates: Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Message frequency varies.
