Privacy Policy

Overview

6Beds, Inc. ("6Beds," "we," "us," or "our") provides community, compliance, and advocacy resources for California residential care providers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through 6beds.org and our related community platform, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using our website or opting in to our communications, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact information — name, email address, mobile phone number, facility or organization name.
• Account information — login credentials and profile details when you join our community platform.
• Communication preferences — your opt-in status and consent records for SMS and email.
• Usage data — pages visited, links clicked, and general browsing behavior on our website.
• Information you submit — content shared through contact forms, event registrations, or community posts.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain our website and community platform;
• Send compliance alerts, event reminders, and advocacy updates you've requested;
• Respond to inquiries and provide support;
• Maintain records of consent as required by applicable law;
• Improve our services and communications over time.

Text Messaging (SMS) Data

If you opt in to receive text messages from 6Beds, Inc., we collect your mobile phone number and the date, time, and method of your consent. This information is used solely to send you the informational text messages you signed up for — such as compliance alerts, event reminders, and advocacy updates — and to maintain a record of your consent as required by applicable law.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support of services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. For more detail on the SMS program itself, including message frequency and opt-out instructions, see our SMS Terms & Conditions.

Email Communications Data

If you provide your email address to 6Beds, Inc. — whether by joining our community, submitting a contact form, registering for an event, or otherwise opting in — we collect your email address and the date, time, and method of your consent. This information is used solely to send you the communications you signed up for, such as compliance alerts, event reminders, advocacy updates, and membership or account notifications, and to maintain a record of your consent as required by applicable law.

We use third-party service providers to deliver these emails on our behalf. No email information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support of service delivery, such as email delivery and customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude email opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

You may opt out of marketing or informational emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of any email you receive from us, or by contacting us directly. You may still receive transactional or account-related emails (such as password resets or billing notices) necessary to provide our services, even after opting out of marketing communications.

Cookies & Tracking

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., email delivery, community platform hosting, customer support);
• Professional advisors, where necessary for legal or compliance purposes;
• Authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights.

As noted above, SMS and email opt-in data specifically is never shared with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
