Opt-in flow: App users sign up and consent to SMS before adding contacts. The screen below is shown during account creation:

After an account holder adds an emergency contact, that contact receives the following welcome SMS containing a link to this page:

Sarah Johnson added you as a trusted contact on If You Read This. If they miss a check-in and don't respond to reminders, we'll send you a personal message from them. Learn more: ifyoureadthis.app/contact-consent-page — Reply STOP to opt out.

Tapping that link brings the contact to this page, where the service is fully explained and opt-out instructions are prominently displayed. All content below this notice is what the emergency contact sees.

Someone added you as an emergency contact.

This page explains what that means, when you might hear from us, and what the app is.

What is If You Read This?

If You Read This is a check-in app for people who want a safety net when they are alone. Users set a check-in interval, such as every 24 hours or every few days. If they do not check in before their deadline, the app sends a message to the contacts they chose, letting them know something may be wrong.

Think of it like a digital check-in call. The person who added you trusts you enough to be on their list.

Why you are seeing this page

Someone you know added your phone number as an emergency contact inside the app. When they do that, the app shows them a screen making clear that you will be notified if they miss a check-in. They agreed to that before adding you.

When would you get a message?

Only if the person who added you misses their check-in deadline. That is the only reason we would ever text you. No promotions, no reminders, nothing else.

If they check in on time, you will never hear from us.

How to opt out

Reply STOP to any message from this number at any time. You will be immediately removed and will not receive any further messages. Reply HELP for support.

Message frequency: 1 message per missed check-in event. Message and data rates may apply.

We will not share your mobile phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.
