SMS Consent & Opt-In
PadMagnet collects explicit, informed consent from users before sending any SMS text messages. This page documents our TCPA-compliant opt-in process.
1. How Users Opt In
SMS consent is collected exclusively within the PadMagnet mobile application through the Notification Settings screen. Users must manually toggle on “SMS Notifications” — an affirmative action — before any text messages are sent.
SMS is never enabled by default. Consent is collected separately from account registration. Users can fully use PadMagnet without enabling SMS. SMS consent is not a condition of purchase or use of the app.
We will not share, sell, or distribute your mobile phone number or any information collected through SMS opt-in to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information collected as part of our SMS notification service is used solely to deliver the transactional messages you have consented to receive.
2. In-App Opt-In Flow
Below are real screenshots from the PadMagnet mobile app (Samsung Galaxy S24). Users navigate to Profile → Settings → Notifications to find the SMS toggle.
Default state: Push OFF, SMS OFF, “In-App Only” selected. Toggle uses muted gray track and thumb when inactive.
User enables SMS: green “ON” toggle, phone number entered, full TCPA disclosure with policy links visible below.
3. TCPA Disclosure (Exact Text)
“By enabling SMS, you consent to receive transactional text message notifications from PadMagnet (e.g., inquiry alerts, listing reminders, message notifications). Consent is not a condition of purchase or use of the app. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies based on account activity, typically 1–5 per week. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time.
