You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe instructions included in those messages.
Where SMS marketing is offered, you may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP, subject to the terms presented when you enroll.
Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending transactional or service-related communications, such as appointment confirmations.
7. Data Security
Garage Monkey uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
