The Bridge

Optional SMS consent

Neighbors give permission in the profile review step after creating an account. The private mobile number is optional, and the permission checkbox starts unchecked. Entering a number alone does not give permission. Text delivery is not active yet.

Profile permission disclosure

I agree to receive automated meetup reminder texts from Montlake Community Club for plans I make on The Bridge. Message frequency varies with my plans. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is optional and is not a condition of joining. I can turn off text reminders in my profile. My number is not shared with neighbors.

The neighbor checks the box and selects “Save text permission.” The service records the consent disclosure version and timestamp privately. Permission can be withdrawn in the same profile screen. When texting is activated, STOP will stop texts and HELP will provide assistance; for help now contact president@montlake.net.

This page describes the actual account-based opt-in process; it does not collect a phone number or grant consent. Review the privacy policy and SMS terms.
