How SMS consent is collected

The opt-in screen inside Swarm, republished here so it can be reviewed without an account.

Swarm (Swarm HQ LLC) sends employment account notifications — commission-report and payroll-deadline alerts — to numbers collected inside the signed-in Swarm app: by the person themselves, or by their company recording the number on that employee's own profile for payroll notifications. Texting is optional and never required to use the Service or to make any purchase. Every enrollment immediately triggers a confirmation text stating the program and how to stop, replying STOP ends messages permanently until that phone texts START, and no number is ever imported, purchased, rented, or shared.

Swarm is the controller of the mobile number and the consent attached to it. These are the exact enrollment surfaces, reproduced:

1. An employee's own portal (the primary way)

Every person who receives these texts opts themselves in here, from their own signed-in account:

Nothing is sent until the person types their own number and presses “Text me”.

2. While setting up their account

While a person first sets up their own login, they type their own mobile number into their account details, beside this note and its Privacy and Program links. The number is enrolled exactly as in section 3 — the confirmation text arrives immediately, and replying STOP ends the messages while the account and their pay work exactly the same:

3. By their company, for payroll notifications

When a company administrator records an employee's mobile number on that employee's own profile, the number is enrolled for that employee's payroll notifications — the same way an email address on the profile receives their reports. The number immediately receives the confirmation text below, stating the program and how to stop; replying STOP ends messages permanently until that phone texts START, and a number that opted out is never re-enrolled this way. This is the confirmation, verbatim:

Those are the only ways a number is enrolled — a person's own act inside their signed-in account, the setup checkbox beside the number they are entering, or their company recording their number for their own payroll notifications — always with the immediate confirmation and a one-word way out. No number is ever enrolled by import, upload, or purchase, and there is no opt-in on any public web form. The headings, labels, messages, and disclosure on this page are rendered from the same source files the app renders, so this page cannot drift from the product.

Stopping messages

Reply STOP to any message to cancel (one final message confirms it), reply START to re-subscribe, or turn the same switch off in the app. Reply HELP for help, or email support@swarmhq.app.

The program itself

Message frequency varies with your company's pay schedule — typically 2 to 6 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Full program details are on the SMS Program page, and mobile information is covered in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
