SMS Consent & Privacy Policy
This page documents ParentConnect's SMS messaging consent model and privacy practices for our friend referral system. We are committed to responsible messaging and full compliance with telecommunications regulations.
📱 ParentConnect uses an Implied Consent Model for friend-to-friend referral messages, ensuring all communications are appropriate, limited, and easily opt-outable.
Users can only send referrals to friends, family members, or acquaintances with whom they have a pre-existing personal relationship. Our app interface clearly states this requirement.
Before sending any message, users see explicit disclosure: "Your friend will receive a one-time text message invitation to try ParentConnect" with required consent confirmation.
Each phone number receives a maximum of ONE referral message. Our system automatically prevents duplicate messages to the same recipient, ensuring no spam or repetitive communications.
Every message includes clear opt-out instructions: "Reply STOP to opt out." Recipients can immediately prevent any future communications with a simple reply.
Automatic blocking of repeat messages to same number
Users limited to 15 referrals per 24-hour period
Phone numbers encrypted and stored securely
