SMS Notifications — Opt-In

Who is messaging you

SMS messages are sent by Spirit Hall, a Knights of Columbus council event venue. Messages are sent only to registered members who have explicitly opted in. Renters and general public visitors do not receive SMS messages and cannot opt in through this program.

How consent is collected

Consent is collected in two places, both requiring an affirmative action by the member:

1. Member registration form— when a new member applies for membership, they may optionally provide a phone number and check the “SMS text notifications” checkbox. The checkbox is unchecked by default. Submitting the form with the box checked constitutes consent.
2. Member profile settings— existing members can enable or disable SMS notifications at any time by visiting their profile page and toggling the “SMS text notifications” preference.

No phone number is required to register, and SMS consent is never assumed. Members who do not provide a phone number cannot enable the SMS preference.

Types of messages sent

• Event sign-up confirmations (when a member registers for a council event shift)
• Event reminders (sent before an upcoming event a member is signed up for)
• Occasional announcements from Spirit Hall coordinators

Message frequency

Message frequency varies based on your event sign-up activity. Members who sign up for events may receive up to 2 messages per event (confirmation + reminder). Broadcast announcements are sent infrequently and only when relevant to all members.

How to opt out

You can opt out at any time by:

• Replying STOP to any SMS message you receive from us
• Unchecking “SMS text notifications” in your member profile settings

After opting out, you will receive no further SMS messages. You can re-enable notifications in your profile at any time.
