CareSignal Privacy Policy

CareSignal sends transactional SMS messages to seniors, designated family members, caregivers, and authorized account contacts who expressly opt in to receive them. Messages may include wellness check-in notifications, help request alerts, urgent attention notifications, missed check-in notifications, alert acknowledgments, account notifications, and support-related service messages.

Users opt in by providing their mobile phone number and affirmatively agreeing to receive CareSignal SMS messages during account creation, invitation acceptance, phone-number verification, or through SMS alert settings. If another person enters a recipient's phone number, CareSignal will not begin sending recurring SMS notifications until the recipient completes the required verification or opt-in process.

Message frequency varies based on check-in activity, account settings, and alert events. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Reply HELP for help.

CareSignal SMS messages support wellness awareness, family communication, and account-related services. They are not used for advertising or promotional marketing.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

We use information to:

• Create and manage CareSignal accounts
• Connect seniors with approved family members or caregivers
• Send check-in reminders, wellness awareness notifications, and family communication alerts
• Deliver SMS, push notification, email, or phone call alerts
• Track whether alerts were sent, delivered, failed, or acknowledged
• Improve app performance and reliability
• Provide customer support
• Maintain security and prevent misuse
• Comply with legal, regulatory, and operational requirements

CareSignal may send SMS text messages and phone alerts related to:

• Daily check-ins
• Help requests and urgent alerts
• Missed check-ins
• Alert acknowledgments
• Account or notification updates

Message frequency may vary depending on user settings, check-in activity, and alert events. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from CareSignal. After texting STOP, we will send a one-time SMS to confirm you have been unsubscribed.

You may request help at any time by replying HELP.

Opting out of SMS may limit CareSignal's ability to send certain awareness and wellness alerts.

CareSignal does not use SMS alerts for marketing or promotional messaging.

Users consent to receive CareSignal SMS alerts when they create a CareSignal account, provide a mobile phone number, and agree to receive awareness and wellness notifications.

Users may also consent by accepting an invitation from a senior, family account owner, caregiver, or authorized account administrator. Users must provide express consent through a double opt-in process or direct account verification before receiving SMS alerts.

CareSignal messages are transactional awareness and wellness notifications. They are not promotional or marketing messages.

If a phone number is added by another person, CareSignal will not send SMS alerts to that number unless the recipient has provided consent through the required verification or opt-in process.

Users may opt out at any time by replying STOP. Users may request help by replying HELP.

We do not sell personal information.
