18. SMS Messaging Terms
18.1 Program Description
Program Name: Flee Partner Alerts (the "SMS Program")
Description: The SMS Program enables accountability partnerships within the Flee app. When you invite an accountability partner, they receive SMS alerts when you request support, change app blocking settings, or need encouragement during your recovery journey. This is a notification service, not a marketing program.
18.2 Opt-In Consent
By replying "YES" to the accountability partner invitation message, you consent to receive SMS notifications from Flee for the purposes described above. Your partner must also consent by replying "YES" to receive alerts about your activity.
18.3 Message Frequency
Message frequency varies based on user activity. You may receive approximately 0-5 messages per month, up to a maximum of 10 messages per month. Frequency depends on how often your accountability partner requests support or updates their settings.
18.4 Costs
Message and data rates may apply. Flee does not charge for SMS messages, but your mobile carrier may charge standard messaging rates according to your phone plan.
18.5 Opt-Out
You can opt-out at any time by replying STOP to any message from Flee. You will receive a confirmation message, and no further messages will be sent to your phone number. We honor opt-out requests immediately.
18.6 Help
For help with SMS services, reply HELP to any message or contact us at support@flee.faith.
18.7 Eligibility
The SMS Program is available to users with U.S. phone numbers only. This is not a marketing service—we only send transactional notifications related to your accountability partnerships.
18.8 SMS Service Provider
We use Twilio and other service providers to deliver SMS messages. We will never share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.
