Users sign up and log in to Gigafyd at https://gigafyd.app as an artist, venue, instructor, backline provider, promoter, or fan.
Once authenticated, the user navigates to the My Profile Setup desk (or opens their Digital Passport → SMS Alerts settings). In the Contact Phone Number section, the interface dynamically displays whether the saved number is currently designated as 📱 SMS Capable (Mobile) or ☎️ Landline / Voice Only.
The user enters their primary contact number and checks the box: "This is a Mobile Number capable of receiving SMS text messages". This dynamically reveals the SMS Alert Triggers and the mandatory CTIA opt-in consent checkbox.
Users select their desired alerts (Followers, Booking Inquiries, Gear Share Escrow, Direct Messages) and must actively check the un-checked consent checkbox displaying message frequency, message/data rate notices, HELP and STOP instructions, and direct links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
When the user clicks "Save Unified Profile Settings", the configuration is stored in the user's account and an encrypted, timestamped consent record is written directly to the secure /users/{userId}/private/notifications vault in Firestore. Notifications are immediately active according to the user's selected triggers.
In accordance with CTIA requirements: We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Full policy: https://gigafyd.app/privacy.
