SMS DISCLOSURE & OPT-IN

Bike Beacon texts only riders who ask for them.

How a rider subscribes

1. The rider visits bikebeacon.app/connect and signs in with Google.
2. The rider chooses a read-only Google Calendar signal and creates an e-bike reminder.
3. The rider enters a mobile number on the Bike Beacon dashboard.
4. The rider affirmatively checks the unchecked SMS consent box shown below and requests a verification code.
5. Bike Beacon sends alerts only after the rider enters the one-time code and verifies ownership of that number.

Consent shown before verification

This is the same form presented to a signed-in rider. It is shown here publicly for transparency; subscription requires a Bike Beacon account and phone verification.

Consent is not a condition of purchase. Bike Beacon does not use purchased lists, pre-checked boxes, or third-party opt-ins.

Message content and frequency

Messages are informational e-bike availability alerts triggered by notification rules the rider creates. Frequency varies with the rider's matching calendar events and may be zero on many days.

Text controls and help

Reply STOP to unsubscribe, START to resume, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Support: support@bikebeacon.app.

Mobile-data promise

Bike Beacon does not share mobile information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. It uses Twilio only to verify phone ownership, deliver requested messages, and process delivery and opt-out events.
