Panic Emergency SMS Opt-In

The Watch App LLC — The Watch, Your Safety Circle

Prepare Panic SMS consent before an emergency. No account, app installation, or sign-in is needed for this guest flow. Read the disclosures and choose whether to grant or revoke consent for your own North American mobile number. Verification is required before the choice is saved.

Set up or revoke Panic SMS consent

Requesting a verification code does not activate alerts. The one-time code SMS is only to verify this request, not an emergency alert. We will not send anything until you deliberately submit this form.

Use your own valid North American mobile number. A one-time verification code is required to confirm possession. No account or app installation is needed.

Stay on this page to request your verification code and enter it here. No Watch account, app installation, sign-in, or profile changes are needed. Requesting a code does not activate alerts. Revoke here after verifying your number, or reply STOP to the sending number.

What you agree to receive

Automated Panic emergency SMS alerts when a member you support activates Panic. Alerts may include the sender's name, incident type, location, permitted medical information, and map or live-view links when available. No marketing messages are sent under this program.

Message frequency varies with Panic events. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase or account creation.

How recipients give consent

  1. Enter your own North American mobile number and choose grant or revoke. No account or app installation is needed.
  2. For a grant, read the complete disclosure and select its initially unchecked agreement checkbox. For either action, separately select the initially unchecked permission for a one-time verification SMS.
  3. Deliberately request the code, then enter the six-digit code and submit to verify and save the choice. Requesting a code does not activate alerts.

The recipient gives consent. Another member adding you as an emergency contact does not subscribe you. SMS is optional and is not a condition of purchase or account creation. Provider STOP remains controlling and cannot be overridden by a saved grant.

For review without signing in, see full, uncropped screenshots of the real member consent form. They demonstrate the member flow only, not this guest flow or carrier approval.

Stop messages or get help

Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. You can also verify your number and revoke using this guest form, or select “Revoke SMS consent” on the member consent form. Saving website consent does not override a messaging-provider STOP block. A message already in transit may still arrive. Revoking SMS consent does not disable calls, push notifications, or email alerts.

For help, email Watchful_citizen1@thewatchapp.org.

SMS delivery is not guaranteed and is not a replacement for emergency services. Call 911 in an emergency.

This page sends no SMS merely by being visited. A code is sent only after you deliberately submit the one-time verification permission and request. SMS delivery depends on carrier availability and messaging-service activation.
