SMS Messaging Consent
Effective date: March 19, 2026
How We Collect SMS Consent
MoodMirror sends SMS messages only to users who explicitly opt in. Consent is collected in the following ways:
Self-reminders
When a user adds their phone number to their MoodMirror account and creates an SMS reminder, they are explicitly opting in to receive reminder messages. The user must:
- Provide their phone number in account settings.
- Create an SMS reminder and choose a delivery time.
- Confirm they want to receive SMS reminders.
Observer reminders
When a subject invites an observer and enables SMS reminders for that observer, the observer must accept the invitation and provide their phone number. The observer explicitly opts in by:
- Accepting the invitation to observe.
- Providing their phone number in their account settings.
- Enabling SMS reminders for the relationship.
Types of Messages
MoodMirror sends the following types of SMS messages:
- Mood logging reminders:A daily reminder to log your mood entry. Example: "Log your mood for today in MoodMirror. https://moodmirror.org/dashboard"
- Observer reminders:A daily reminder to submit an observation about a subject. Example: "Submit today's observation for Brian in MoodMirror. https://moodmirror.org/dashboard"
Message Frequency
Message frequency depends on user configuration. Typically, users receive one reminder per day per active relationship. Users control the exact schedule and can configure reminders for specific times of day.
Opting Out
Users can stop receiving SMS messages at any time by:
- Replying STOP to any MoodMirror SMS message.
- Disabling SMS reminders in their account settings.
- Removing their phone number from their account.
- Deleting their account.
Cost
