Messaging policy
Placing, Inc. (d/b/a Placing.com) sends SMS to account holders in the United States. We run two messaging programs. You are only in a program you asked to be in, and you can leave either one at any time.
We do not buy, rent or otherwise obtain phone numbers from third parties. Every number we text was typed into Placing by the person who owns the account it belongs to.
Verification codes
A one-time code proving that a mobile number belongs to you. Each code is six digits and expires in ten minutes.
How you opt in. You type your own US mobile number into the Mobile phone field when you create an account at placing.com/signup, when you add a second authentication factor under Settings → Security, or when you sign in at placing.com/signin and your account uses a texted code. Submitting the form is the request, and the code answers it.
How often. One message for each code you ask for, so the frequency follows your own actions.
This program carries no marketing, no promotions and no links.
Data table updates
Messages about the data tables you maintain on Placing, and replies to messages you send us. We may ask you to confirm or update a value in a table you own; you answer in plain language and we record the change.
How you opt in. You tick the optional SMS box when you create an account at placing.com/signup. The box is unchecked by default and sign-up completes whether or not you tick it. Contacts at partner facilities are enrolled under a service agreement that covers SMS coordination.
How often. Message frequency varies with your account activity.
Both programs
Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier, not Placing, sets those rates. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
To stop messages, reply STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to any message. We confirm once and send nothing further. Stopping verification codes means you can no longer sign in by text. Reply START to begin receiving them again.
For help, reply HELP to any message, or write to vince@placing.com.
Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes.
Mobile numbers collected for SMS are used only to deliver the messages you consented to receive, and are disclosed only to the messaging providers and carriers required to transmit them. The full privacy policy says what else we collect and why.
