SMS Opt-In — Call to Action Verification
Last updated: June 27, 2026
This page documents exactly how end users consent to receive SMS messages from myFamilySpace. It exists so carriers and messaging-compliance reviewers can verify our Call to Action. It supplements our Messaging Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms & Conditions.
Where opt-in happens
Most SMS is self opt-in: the account holder enters their own mobile number at Profile → Phone Number, inside the app, after creating an account. There is no web form and no imported list — a number only enters our system if a person typed it themselves.
The one exception is a direct, named referral: an existing myFamilySpace user may enter a specific guest’s number to invite that person to one event, or share one list with them. That guest receives a single self-identified message naming the inviter and the specific event or list, with opt-out instructions, and — only if that event is later cancelled — one follow-up notice. Guests are never enrolled in ongoing messaging and never receive any other message type.
Consent is optional — never forced
- The Phone Number field is blank by default and clearly labeled “Optional.” Nothing is prechecked or prefilled.
- Providing a phone number is not required to create an account or to use any feature of the app. Users who never add a number get full app functionality via push and in-app notifications.
- Consent is an affirmative act: the user types their own number and taps “Save changes.” Removing the number (or replying STOP) ends SMS at any time without affecting the account.
The opt-in screen
This is the actual in-app opt-in screen. The consent disclosure appears directly beneath the Phone Number field at the point of collection:
The exact consent language shown at the point of entry:
“Optional. By adding your number you agree to receive SMS event reminders from myFamilySpace. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See myfamilyspace.app/legal/messaging-policy”
What we send
Transactional, account-based messages only — event and schedule reminders, event invitations/RSVP requests, shared-list invitations, and event cancellation notices. No marketing or promotional SMS. See the Messaging Policy for the full program description, STOP/HELP handling, and our no-third-party-sharing commitment for mobile information.
