Text message verification

Intended sends text messages only when a member asks for them in the app.

What we send

• Verification codes. A one-time code to confirm the mobile number a member entered in the Intended app.
• Guardian messages (optional). If a woman turns on the family guardian feature, the guardian she names receives a code to confirm his number and, later, a link to approve or decline a match she has accepted.

We never send marketing or promotional text messages.

How members opt in

1. A member creates a Intended account in the iPhone or Android app.
2. On the Verify your number screen, they choose their country code and type their own mobile number.
3. They tick an unticked consent checkbox. Text me a code stays disabled until they do.
4. Beneath the button, the app states message frequency, rates, STOP and HELP, with links to the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
5. Only when they tap Text me a code is a single verification text sent to the number they entered.

Frequency, cost and help

• Frequency: one message each time a code is requested. Guardian messages are sent only when the member triggers them.
• Cost: message and data rates may apply.
• Opt out: reply STOP at any time.
• Help: reply HELP, or email support@empowertcl.com.

We do not sell or share mobile numbers or text message consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. See the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
