SMS opt-in

Text message opt-in flow

This page documents how Bach Elementary PTO collects SMS consent. The actual opt-in controls are available only to approved, signed-in site users.

Reviewer summary

  • A Bach family, staff member, or PTO volunteer signs in to bachpto.org with an approved account.
  • There are two signed-in opt-in paths:
    • Prompt path: the user sees the Text updates prompt, which names their masked mobile number, checks the unchecked consent box for that exact number, and selects Enable texts. The other button, No thanks, closes it without opting in.
    • Profile path: the user opens the Text messages section of the directory profile, chooses one of their saved mobile numbers, checks the unchecked consent box for that exact number, and selects Enable texts.
  • Both paths show message type, frequency, message and data rate, HELP/STOP, Terms, and Privacy disclosures.

Message flow

End users opt in after signing in to bachpto.org as approved Bach Elementary PTO family, staff, or volunteer users. There are two signed-in opt-in paths, and each person can only opt in for themselves. First, the site may show a Text updates prompt after login that names the mobile number on the user's profile (masked); the user must actively check the unchecked consent box for that exact number and select Enable texts. The prompt's other button, No thanks, closes it without opting in. Second, the user may open the Text messages section of their directory profile, choose one of their saved mobile numbers, actively check the unchecked consent box for that exact number, and select Enable texts. Both paths explain that messages may include timely PTO announcements, classroom updates, event reminders, volunteer coordination, and administrative follow-up. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. Terms: https://bachpto.org/sms-terms. Privacy Policy: https://bachpto.org/privacy. This page documents both signed-in opt-in paths because the actual controls are only available after login and account approval: https://bachpto.org/sms-opt-in
