KidSift SMS Reminders — Opt-In

Program name: KidSift SMS Reminders. Last updated: September 24, 2026. Terms of Service · Privacy Policy

What this is: transactional text reminders for parents and caregivers about a child's upcoming school, activity, and family events — the date, the time, where to be, and what to pack. It is not marketing, and there is nothing to buy in a message.

How to opt in

Consent is given on a KidSift web page, by the person whose phone it is, before that number is ever sent anything. Nobody can sign somebody else up.

  1. The parent who holds the account enters a caregiver's email address and sends an invitation. They are never asked for another person's phone number, and KidSift never texts an invitation — a text to a number that has not agreed to hear from us is the thing this flow exists to avoid.
  2. The caregiver receives an email with a single-use link to a consent page on app.kidsift.ai. The link works once and expires after 30 days. If they ignore it, nothing happens.
  3. On that page the caregiver reads the program disclosures, types their own mobile number, and ticks the consent box.
  4. KidSift stores the consent record and sends one confirmation text to that number. Event reminders start from the next scheduled run.

There is no other way in. Numbers are never purchased, imported, appended, or copied from anywhere else, and the account holder cannot turn a number on by typing it in.

What the consent page says

These four lines are on screen above the number field, and the statement below is the label on the box that has to be ticked before the form will submit.

I agree to receive text message reminders from KidSift at the number I entered.

The wording is versioned, and the version a person actually agreed to is stored with their consent record rather than looked up later — so a record from last year proves what was on screen last year, not what is on screen today.

Reviewing this without breaking someone's invitation: an invite link is single-use, so opening a real one uses it up and the caregiver it was meant for finds it dead. app.kidsift.ai/sms/join/preview is the same page with the same words, open to anyone, and it records nothing and sends nothing.

What the messages look like

The confirmation, sent once, immediately after somebody consents:

A typical event reminder:

Every message KidSift sends ends with the same sign-off: KidSift - Reply STOP to cancel.

What is kept

The consent record holds who was invited and at which email address, the mobile number that was entered, when consent was given, and the exact disclosure text that was on screen. It is kept while the number is subscribed, and afterwards as proof that consent was given.

Phone numbers and consent records are never sold, rented, or shared, and they are never used for marketing. A number goes to Twilio only to deliver a message to that number.
