SMS sign-in codes

Churr sends exactly one kind of text message: a one-time code to sign you in. There are no marketing messages, no reminders by SMS and no recurring messages. Everything else the app tells you arrives as a notification inside the app, if you have allowed them.

How you opt in

You opt in by entering your mobile number in the app and tapping Send the code. That is the only way a message is ever triggered, and each tap sends one message. There is no consent checkbox because there is nothing to subscribe to: the only message that exists is the one that tap requests. This is the screen:

What is your number?

We text you a six-digit code. Your number is only used to sign you in and is stored hashed. Message and data rates may apply.

Mobile number

416 555 0123

No one ever sees your number. It is not shown to other people, it is not shared with your twin, and it is never given to another twin.

One text per sign-in, and nothing else by SMS. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help.

What the message says

Your Churr verification code is: 482913

The code expires after ten minutes. The message is sent by our verification provider from its own numbers, which is why it is short: the wording is the provider's standard template.

Frequency and cost

One message per sign-in attempt. Message and data rates from your carrier may apply. Churr does not charge for messages.

Help and opting out

HELP: Reply HELP to any message, or email [email protected]. The sending number answers with the provider's standard help message; for anything about Churr, email us.
STOP: Reply STOP to any message. The sending number confirms you are opted out and sends nothing further. Because the code is how you sign in, opting out means you cannot sign in by SMS until you reply START.
START: Reply START to opt back in.

Your number

Your number is used to sign you in and for nothing else. It is stored in our own systems only as a one-way hash. Our sign-in provider holds it to deliver the code. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
