Empire Property Management uses Twilio to send SMS text messages to service technicians and tenants for work order and property management purposes only.

🔒 No mobile information — including phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent — will be shared with or sold to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes at any time. This data is used solely for operational property management communications.

How We Obtain Consent: SMS consent is obtained at the point of collection — when a technician provides their phone number during onboarding, or when a tenant submits a maintenance request form at epmelite.com/tenant-portal.html. The opt-in form contains an unchecked checkbox with the following language: "Yes, I agree to receive SMS messages from Empire Property Management regarding my maintenance request." The form will not submit without active consent.

Message Frequency: Message frequency varies based on work order activity. Technicians typically receive 1–5 messages per assigned job. Tenants typically receive 1–3 messages per maintenance request.

Message & Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

To Opt Out: Reply STOP to any SMS message at any time to unsubscribe immediately. You will receive a one-time confirmation and no further messages will be sent.
