finds SMS Programs

finds runs two SMS programs. Each one has its own opt-in, and an opt-in to one program is not an opt-in to the other.

1. finds SMS Verification Program

Program type: One-time passcode (OTP) phone verification
Sender: finds, a product of Saturday
Website: https://finds.nyc

This program sends a one-time passcode that verifies a user's phone number when the user signs in or adds a number to their finds account. This program does not send marketing or promotional SMS.

How a user opts in

  1. The user opens the finds app for iOS.
  2. During sign-in or account setup, the app shows the screen "Add your number".
  3. The user types their own phone number into the phone number field.
  4. Below the button, the screen shows this disclosure: "We'll text you a one-time code. Msg & data rates may apply."
  5. The user taps the button labeled "text me a code". This tap is the consent action. There is no pre-checked box; the user must actively request the message.
  6. finds sends one SMS that contains a one-time passcode. Example: "Your finds verification code is: 123456"
  7. The user types the code into the app to complete verification.

The user can decline. The screen includes a "Skip for now" option, and consent to receive SMS is not a condition of any purchase.

Message details

  • Message frequency: one message per verification request. Message frequency varies with how often the user requests a code.

2. finds Fall Vote Results Alert

Program type: One-time results alert for the Trader Joe's fall vote
Sender: finds, a product of Saturday
Website: https://traderjoesfinds.com/r/fall

This program sends one text message that tells a voter the final ranking of the fall vote is available. The message can include a link to the results and to the finds app.

How a voter opts in

  1. The voter opens https://traderjoesfinds.com/r/fall and submits a ballot. No account is necessary.
  2. The results page shows the box "Get pinged when the final ranking drops" with one phone number field. The field is empty. The voter types their own US phone number.
  3. Below the button, the page shows this disclosure: "Just one text when the winner drops. No spam, pinky promise"
  4. The voter taps the button labeled "Text me the results". This tap is the consent action. There is no pre-checked box.
  5. finds records the phone number and the time of consent with the ballot.

The phone number is optional. A voter can vote, see the results, and share a ballot without it.

Message details

  • Message frequency: 1 message for each fall vote. Example: "finds: the Trader Joe's fall vote results are in. See the final ranking: https://traderjoesfinds.com/r/fall Reply STOP to cancel."
