1. Program Description
Paiv sends text messages to help users verify their identity, receive activity match notifications, and coordinate meetups with their matched partners. All messages are directly related to your use of the Paiv platform.
2. How to Opt In
You opt in to receive SMS messages from Paiv by:
- Visiting paiv.app/verify
- Entering your mobile phone number in the field provided
- Checking the unchecked SMS consent checkbox: "I agree to receive SMS messages from Paiv, including verification codes and activity match notifications. Message and data rates may apply. Up to 10 messages/week. Reply STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for help." The checkbox is not pre-selected — you must actively check it to consent.
- Tapping “Send code” (only enabled after the checkbox is checked) and entering the 4-digit verification code you receive
By completing phone verification, you confirm you are the owner or authorized user of the mobile number provided and that you have affirmatively opted in to receive SMS messages as described above.
3. Message Types and Frequency
Authentication messages:
- One-time passcodes (OTPs) sent when you sign in or verify your number
- Sent only when you initiate a sign-in or verification action
Match and activity notifications:
- Match confirmation: "You've been matched with [first name] for [activity] on [day/time]."
- Activity reminders: "Reminder: [activity] tomorrow at [time]. Your partner has confirmed."
- Post-activity prompt: "Did [first name] show up today? Tap to confirm."
- Match updates: changes to event time, cancellations, or partner changes
Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your activity schedule and match status. You may receive up to 10 messages per week when actively participating. If you are not active on the platform, you will receive no messages.
4. How to Opt Out
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from Paiv. After opting out:
- You will receive one final confirmation message: "You've been unsubscribed from Paiv SMS. No further messages will be sent."
- No further marketing or notification messages will be sent.
- You may still receive OTPs if you initiate a sign-in, as these are required for account security.
- You can re-enroll at any time by verifying your phone number again at paiv.app/verify.
