SMS Consent and Terms
How The Blind Computer uses text messaging
What is The Blind Computer?
The Blind Computer is a voice-first AI assistant designed for blind and visually impaired users. Users interact with the service by calling our phone number and speaking with an AI assistant that helps them take notes, set reminders, search the web, create documents, and more.
SMS Messaging Program
As part of the service, The Blind Computer can send SMS text messages to users and their designated contacts. Messages may include:
- Notes, reminders, and information the user requests to be texted
- Search results and web content summaries
- Messages the user dictates to be sent to friends and family
- Document links and file delivery notifications
How Users Consent
Verbal opt-in during phone call. Users provide consent by verbally requesting that a text message be sent during their phone conversation with the AI assistant. The assistant always confirms the recipient number and message content before sending.
Examples of verbal consent:
- "Text me that note"
- "Send a message to my friend at (their phone number)"
- "Can you text that information to me?"
Message Frequency
Message frequency varies based on user requests. Users typically receive one to ten messages per phone call session. Messages are only sent when explicitly requested by the user during a call.
How to Opt Out
Users can opt out of SMS messaging at any time by:
- Telling the assistant "Don't text me" or "Stop sending messages" during a call
- Replying STOP to any text message received from our number
- Contacting us at the email address below
Message and Data Rates
Standard message and data rates may apply. The Blind Computer does not charge for SMS messages, but your carrier may.
Privacy
Phone numbers and message content are used solely to deliver the requested service. We do not sell or share phone numbers with third parties for marketing purposes. Message content is stored to provide conversation history and improve the service.
