Welcome to Talking Trees!

We’re thrilled you’re talking to one of the trees on Logan campus.

Here’s the nitty gritty on what we do with your texts and protecting your privacy:

  • All texts you send will only be received by our project team who will be able to see your number but not be able to share it with others. In addition to the phone number, each text received by us will also show the content (i.e. your text), and the time it was sent. We do not collect any personal information about your identity.

  • By texting a USU campus tree at the number posted on the sign, you agree to receive text messages from the Talking Trees. We use your texts to be able to reply through the trees and for improving the project in the future.

  • Everyone is invited to text! We don’t care who you are, we just want to hear what you have to say

  • At no point will your phone number be shared with a private company, agency, or anyone other than the Talking Trees project team and the HeyMarket app providing the service. The text chats may be shared with the public after the event ends, but it will not be associated with a phone number (i.e. kept anonymous).

  • Text content will be kept in the Talking Trees project database indefinitely after the event ends in 2026. Phone numbers associated with texts will be deleted from the database within 1 week of the event ending.

  • No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

  • Please keep texts respectful and follow the guidelines for appropriate behavior expected of USU students, staff, and faculty

  • You will only get texts from us in response to one of your texts. We will not send unsolicited texts your way. At any point, you may end the text conversation by not sending us a text or texting STOP. You may also request assistance by texting HELP.

  • Message and data rates may apply when you send or receive texts. Check with your phone provider if unsure

  • The Messaging Terms & Conditions are available in the button below.

  • Please send any questions about the policy and privacy to komal@aggies.usu.edu.
