How the owner opts in to Orbit texts

Orbit is Shooq's private task assistant. Its texts go to one person only: the account owner, at his own mobile number. He opts in inside Orbit's private Settings page, which only he can sign in to.

  1. In Settings → Phone, he enters his own mobile number.
  2. He ticks the text message agreement shown below, which links to the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, and saves.
  3. Orbit records the date of consent and sends one confirmation text: "Orbit (Shooq): You're signed up for task alerts and replies. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out."
  4. Replying STOP withdraws consent. Changing the number requires agreeing again.
Orbit Settings, Phone section: Orbit's number and your mobile fields with the numbers hidden, a Texting option, and an unticked checkbox reading: I agree to receive text messages from Shooq's Orbit assistant at the mobile number above: task reminders, briefings, alerts and replies to my texts. Message frequency varies. Msg and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out. Below it, links to the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
