used, and protected.

SMS Program

The Consumers Power Inc. SMS program is used exclusively for internal
communications with employees. Messages may include workplace notifications,
operational alerts, scheduling information, staffing assistance requests,
and other internal company communications.

Participation in the SMS program is voluntary and is not a condition of
employment.

When an employee chooses to participate in the SMS program, we may collect
and maintain:

• The employee’s mobile phone number.
• SMS opt-in and consent information.
• The date and method of opt-in.
• SMS opt-out information.
• Messages or responses sent as part of the SMS program.

How We Use SMS Information

operate and administer Consumers Power Inc.’s internal employee SMS
communications.

We may use this information to:

• Send internal workplace notifications and operational alerts.
• Communicate scheduling or staffing information.
• Send other internal employee-related notifications.
• Maintain records of SMS consent and opt-out requests.
• Operate, maintain, and support the SMS messaging service.

SMS consent applies specifically to the Consumers Power Inc. employee SMS
notification program and is not considered consent to receive marketing or
promotional messages.

Mobile Information and Data Sharing

Consumers Power Inc. does not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS
consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or
promotional purposes.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with

Such information may only be used to provide those services and may not be
used for independent marketing or promotional purposes.

Message Frequency and Carrier Charges

and mobile service plan. Consumers Power Inc. is not responsible for charges
imposed by a wireless carrier.

Opting Out

Employees may withdraw their consent to receive SMS notifications at any time
by texting QUIT to 541-250-3559.

After an opt-out request is processed, the employee will no longer receive
messages through this SMS program unless they voluntarily opt in again.

Opting out of SMS notifications will not affect employment or access to other
Consumers Power Inc. services or systems.

Data Retention and Security

Consumers Power Inc. takes reasonable administrative and technical measures
to protect information associated with the SMS program.
