This page describes the text messages The Sunday Queue sends, how you agree to receive them, and how to stop them. It is here so that anyone — including a carrier reviewing our messaging registration — can read the whole arrangement without creating an account.
What we send
Account notifications only. There is no marketing, no promotional messaging and no bulk sending of any kind. There are exactly three messages:
- A verification code, once, when you first add your number.
- A match notification, when someone you said yes to says yes back.
- A deletion warning, roughly two hours before a conversation is deleted on Sunday night.
Message frequency varies: it depends on whether you match in a given week, and most weeks it is nothing at all beyond the one-time code.
How you opt in
Opt-in happens during registration, after you sign in with your email address. It is not a public form, because the number is tied to an account from the moment it is given. The steps are:
- You go to the sign-in page and receive a one-time code by email.
- On the next screen you are asked for a mobile number, and shown the disclosure quoted below.
- You enter the number yourself and submit the form. Submitting it is the consent — we never add a number on your behalf, and there is no pre-checked box.
- We text a one-time code to that number, and you enter it to confirm you own it. Until you do, no other message is ever sent.
What the screen says
This is the exact text shown above the mobile number field, reproduced so it can be compared against our messaging registration:
We’ll text you a code to confirm this number. After that, Sunday Queue uses it for account notifications only — when someone you said yes to says yes back, and a warning before a conversation is deleted. Never marketing. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.
Stopping them
Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help. STOP takes effect immediately and needs no explanation. You can also reply CANCEL, END, QUIT, REVOKE, STOPALL or UNSUBSCRIBE — all of them work.
Opting out of texts does not delete your account. We fall back to email for the same three notifications. If you want the account itself gone, that is in your settings and it removes the number too.
Reply START or UNSTOP to turn texts back on.
Cost
We do not charge for text messages. Message and data rates may apply from your own carrier.
Your number
We do not sell your mobile number, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. It goes to the messaging provider that delivers our texts and nowhere else. The full detail — including what we store rather than the number itself — is in our Privacy Policy, alongside our Terms.
