FELT

SMS Consent

Last updated

FELT is a private mobile application for members of local poker clubs, operated by RIDGEWAY WEB LLC. It shows which clubs have games running and lets members join a virtual waitlist. This page documents how FELT collects a user's consent to receive SMS messages.

What messages are sent

One kind of message, and only one: a six-digit one-time passcode used to sign in. No marketing, no promotions, no newsletters, and no informational broadcasts are sent on this campaign.

How often

One message per sign-in request. Message frequency is entirely user-initiated — a member who signs in once a month receives one message a month. No message is ever sent without an immediately preceding request from that user.

How consent is collected

Opt-in happens inside the FELT mobile app. There is no website form, no keyword opt-in, and no paper opt-in. Phone numbers are never imported, purchased, or added to any list.

  1. The user opens the FELT app. The first screen is the sign-in screen.
  2. It displays a single field labeled "Phone number."
  3. The user types their own mobile number into that field.
  4. Directly beneath the "Send code" button, the screen displays the consent disclosure quoted below, with links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service immediately under it.
  5. The user taps "Send code." That tap is the opt-in action and the request for the message.
  6. One SMS is sent in response, containing the six-digit passcode.
  7. The user types that code into the app to complete sign-in.

The consent disclosure, exactly as displayed

By tapping Send code you agree to receive a text message from FELT by Ridgeway Web LLC with a 6-digit code to sign in — one message per sign-in request, sent only when you tap Send code. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.
