SMS opt-in and consent

Last updated: 2026-08-18

This page documents how people consent to receive text messages from +1 (417) 409-2270, operated by Garrett Griffin-Morales as a sole proprietor. Consent for this service is given in person rather than through a website, so the full consent experience is published here for review.

How consent is collected

There is one opt-in path and no others. Consent is given in person and verbally, directly to the operator. There is no web form, no public sign-up page, no keyword opt-in, and no purchased or third-party list. Nobody is added without asking to be added.

Before adding anyone, the operator says the following out loud, and the person gives their mobile number only after hearing it.

What the operator says

Spoken consent script

"I run a personal text notification service from 417-409-2270. It sends reminders, appointment and schedule changes, and status alerts, and every message identifies itself as Garrett's Assistant. Frequency varies with what is happening, usually a few messages a day or fewer. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your plan. You can reply STOP at any time and the messages stop, or reply HELP for help. This is not marketing, and your number is never sold or shared. Would you like me to add your number?"

Who can receive messages

Household members and a small number of personal contacts who have each asked the operator directly. The service is not offered to the general public, to customers, or to prospects.

Message frequency

Message and data rates
