This page documents how Jcscan2connect obtains SMS opt-in consent from the contacts an account holder registers on a QR sticker. We use a double-opt-in confirmation flow, so no phone number ever receives alerts without the number holder's own reply.
Jcscan2connect QR Scan Alerts
When someone scans a Jcscan2connect QR sticker, we send an SMS to the contacts registered to that sticker.
You will only receive these messages if you confirm your own number. When an account holder adds your number, you receive one confirmation SMS. You must reply YES to receive alerts. If you do not reply, we do not message you again and your number is deleted after 24 hours.
- Message frequency: scan-driven, typically 0–2 messages per month.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP at any time to stop all messages.
- Reply HELP for help.
- Support: support@jcscan2connect.com
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
The double-opt-in flow, step by step
- The account holder logs into the Jcscan2connect mobile app and opens "Manage Contacts" for the QR they want to register.
- They tap "Add Contact" and enter the contact's name, relationship, and mobile number. Before the Save button becomes enabled, the account holder must tick a consent checkbox that reads: "I have this person's permission to send them one confirmation text from Jcscan2connect."
-
On save, Jcscan2connect sends one confirmation SMS to the number:
Jcscan2connect: Priya added you as a contact. Reply YES to receive scan alerts when their QR is scanned. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg&data rates may apply. - The contact must reply YES to opt in. Only then does the number become active for scan-triggered alerts. Until then the app shows the contact as "Pending".
- If the contact does not reply within 24 hours, their number is deleted from our database and they will not receive any further messages. We never send a second confirmation.
- Once opted in, the contact receives an alert SMS only when the account holder's QR sticker is physically scanned by a third party. They can reply STOP at any time to opt out immediately.
