Messaging transparency
Consent should feel clear.
HUMASPHERE helps people preserve family stories in their own words. The private family-story archive works with or without text messages. Recurring story questions by SMS are a separate, optional delivery feature. Consent to SMS is voluntary and is not a condition of purchase or service use.
How consent works
01
A gift is purchased.
A purchaser provides a recipient’s phone number solely to deliver one clearly identified gift invitation.02
The recipient chooses whether to receive texts.
The invitation clearly says that the archive works without text messages. It offers recurring SMS story questions as a separate, optional feature and asks the recipient to reply YES only if they independently want those texts. Consent is voluntary and is not a condition of purchase or service use. The recipient can decline and still use the archive.03
Recurring SMS starts only after YES.
Without the recipient’s affirmative YES reply, HUMASPHERE sends no recurring SMS story questions. Declining or stopping texts does not prevent use of the family-story archive.04
STOP is immediate.
The recipient can reply STOP at any time. HELP returns support information.Exact message flow
