Text Message Notifications

About these messages

Hoosin sends recurring SMS notifications to players who opt in during account setup. Message types include game reminders, RSVP prompts, substitute requests, roster updates, captain alerts, and schedule changes.

Message frequency varies based on team activity and scheduled games. Message and data rates may apply.

How you opt in

Players are invited to Hoosin by a team captain. After receiving an email invitation, they sign in with a magic link and complete account setup (onboarding). During onboarding, players enter their phone number and see an optional SMS consent checkbox. The checkbox is unchecked by default. Checking it is not required to complete onboarding.

The exact consent language shown at that step:

I agree to receive Hoosin text messages about team activity, including game reminders, RSVP prompts, sub requests, roster updates, captain alerts, and schedule changes. Msg freq varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help and STOP to opt out. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Players who do not opt in during onboarding can enable SMS notifications later from their Profile settings. Players may also withdraw consent at any time from Profile settings.

By completing onboarding, players also agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

How to opt out

Reply STOP to any Hoosin message to stop receiving texts. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Opt-In Flow Verification

Hoosin is an invite-only hockey team operations app. There is no public sign-up form. New users join only when a team captain emails them an invitation from inside the app. The full opt-in surface is therefore reachable only after authenticating with that emailed magic link. The visual reproductions below show exactly what a player sees, with the verbatim consent text used in production.

Reviewers needing live access can request test credentials from commissioner@hoosin.net.

1. Onboarding consent surface

Path: /onboarding (shown after the player completes magic-link sign-in from a captain’s emailed invitation). The phone number field and SMS consent checkbox are shown together in the same form. The checkbox is unchecked by default and is not required to submit.

Key facts a reviewer can verify against the live screen:

• The SMS consent checkbox is unchecked when the page loads.
• The checkbox is optional — the form submits successfully without it.
• The consent paragraph and the Privacy Policy / Terms links are visible in the same viewport as the phone number field.
• The page is server-rendered at https://hoosin.net/onboarding after magic-link sign-in.

2. Profile opt-in / opt-out surface

Path: /profile. Existing users can opt in or withdraw consent at any time using the toggle below. The same verbatim consent text is shown when editing.

3. What Hoosin does not do

• No public sign-up form. The only path to an account is a captain-emailed invitation with a magic link.
• No SMS-keyword opt-in. Hoosin does not advertise a short code, long code, or keyword such as START, JOIN, or YES as a way to subscribe. All consent is collected on the web in the surfaces shown above.
• No third-party sharing of opt-in lists. Consent applies only to Hoosin.
• No marketing or promotional SMS. Messages are limited to the team-activity types listed under “About these messages”.

4. Reviewer reproduction steps

1. Open https://hoosin.net/sms-info (this page) and https://hoosin.net/privacy and https://hoosin.net/terms to confirm all disclosures are publicly accessible without authentication.
2. Email commissioner@hoosin.net to request a one-time test invitation. The reply will contain a magic-link email of the same kind a captain sends to a teammate.
3. Open the magic link, land on /onboarding, and confirm the consent checkbox is unchecked and the consent text matches the reproduction in section 1.
4. After completing onboarding, visit /profile and confirm the SMS toggle and consent text matches the reproduction in section 2.
