SMS & Voice Call Terms
1. The SafetyCheck Alerts program
"SafetyCheck Alerts" is the SMS and automated voice call program used by the SafetyCheck app to (a) remind the app user to complete a check-in, and (b) notify a user's designated emergency contact(s) if a check-in is missed after all reminders have gone unanswered, including the user's last known GPS location. This program is operated using Twilio as our messaging and calling infrastructure provider.
2. Who receives messages
- App users may receive push notifications and, depending on settings, SMS reminders to their own phone number as part of the check-in flow.
- Emergency contacts — people designated by an app user, who may not have the app installed — receive an SMS text and an automated phone call only when that user misses a check-in after all reminders.
3. Consent
By providing your own phone number when creating a SafetyCheck account, you consent to receive check-in-related SMS messages at that number. By designating someone as an emergency contact, the app user represents that they have that person's permission to (a) provide their phone number to SafetyCheck and (b) have them receive SMS messages and an automated phone call if a check-in is missed. Consent is not a condition of purchasing any product or service other than the check-in alert feature itself.
4. Message frequency
Message frequency varies based on your check-in settings. An app user on a daily check-in schedule may receive up to a handful of reminder messages per day only if a check-in is missed; an emergency contact receives messages only when an alert is actually triggered, which may be rare or may never happen. Users on Basic or Pro plans with more frequent check-in windows (as often as hourly) may see a higher potential message volume tied to that schedule.
5. Message and data rates
Message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier and plan. SafetyCheck does not charge separately for SMS messages or phone calls sent through this program beyond your regular subscription fees, if any.
6. Opt-out and help
Reply STOP to any SafetyCheck message to opt that phone number out of future messages. See the safety note above if you are an emergency contact.
Reply HELP to any SafetyCheck message, or email [email protected], for support.
App users who opt their own number out of SMS reminders should be aware that the app's push notifications will still be the primary channel for check-in prompts; opting out of SMS does not disable your account.
7. Carrier liability
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to effective transmission from your network operator and factors outside our control, including network availability and device settings.
8. Changes to this program
We may update these SMS Terms, the SafetyCheck Alerts program, or the underlying messaging provider from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date above.
