What we send

KehilaLink sends text messages for one reason: signing in. A community administrator who chooses to sign in with a code receives a six-digit code by SMS, at the moment they ask for it. There is no marketing by text, no promotional content, and no recurring or scheduled messages.

A message reads: KehilaLink: your sign-in code is 123456. It expires in 10 minutes. Reply STOP to stop.

Messages are sent from 1 (888) 547-3240.

How consent is given

Consent is given on the sign-in screen at www.kehilalink.com/signin. Choosing “Text me a code” reveals a consent box, unticked, which must be ticked before the button will submit. It reads:

Text me a one-time code when I sign in. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop.

A phone number is put on an administrator account by the KehilaLink team rather than typed in by the public, so that only the community office decides whose number is on file. Ticking the box is the separate step by which that person agrees to be texted on it. No message is sent before both have happened.

Consent is never a condition of service

Nobody has to agree to text messages to use KehilaLink. The sign-in screen offers “Email me a link” beside the code option, which signs the same person into the same account with no messaging at all. Declining, or stopping later, costs no access and no feature.

How often

Only when someone asks to sign in. There is no other trigger, so the frequency is however often that person signs in and no more. Sessions are long, so for most administrators this is rare.

Stopping

• Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving them.
• Reply HELP for help, or write to office@kehilalink.com.
• Ask the community office to remove the number from the account.

Stopping the messages stops sign-in by code, and nothing else. The account still works: sign in with an emailed link instead.

Costs and your number

• Message and data rates may apply. KehilaLink charges nothing for a sign-in code.
• Phone numbers are never sold, and never shared with anyone for their own marketing.
• A number is held to sign that person in, and for no other purpose.
