SMS Consent and Opt-In Disclosure
This page documents how end users opt in to receive SMS messages from Nooqbook, what kinds of messages we send, how often, and how to stop. This page is provided as a public-facing Call-to-Action (CTA) disclosure for SMS campaign compliance with the CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices and the TCPA.
1. Program name and purpose
Program name: Nooqbook Booking Notifications
Nooqbook is an online marketplace where parents and students book one-on-one skill-sharing sessions with vetted instructors. The SMS program sends transactional notifications related to a user's bookings on the Nooqbook platform.
2. Types of messages users will receive
By opting in, users may receive the following transactional messages:
- Booking confirmations after a session is booked
- Session reminders before an upcoming session
- Booking status updates (accepted, rescheduled, or canceled by the instructor)
- Notifications when an instructor or city coordinator sends a new message about a booking
- Payment and payout updates related to a booking
- Account and safety notifications
Nooqbook does not send marketing or promotional SMS through this program.
3. How users opt in (Call to Action)
End users opt in to receive SMS messages from Nooqbook during account registration on the Nooqbook platform at https://app.nooqbook.com. During registration, users enter their mobile phone number and have the option to check an unchecked-by-default, optional consent checkbox labeled “(Optional) Text me about my bookings, payments, and account. Consent isn’t required to use Nooqbook.”
Directly below the checkbox, the following disclosure is displayed:
“Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.”
Links to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service appear directly beneath the disclosure. SMS opt-in is entirely optional and is not a condition of registering for, purchasing, or using any Nooqbook product or service. Users may register and use the platform without consenting to receive SMS, and may withdraw consent at any time without affecting their ability to use the platform.

Message and data rates may apply. Standard message and data rates from your wireless carrier may apply to each message sent or received. Please contact your wireless carrier for details about your messaging plan.
