10   registration, the department shall send to the registrant an
11   application for renewal of registration[.], along with a text
12   message or email, if the department has the necessary
13   information to enable that communication, notifying the
14   registrant of the expiration date of the registration. The
15   telephone number or email address shall be voluntarily provided
16   to the department, and the department may not provide this
