SMS Consent Overview

This page shows exactly how SwiftCard collects consent to send text messages. SwiftCard is a digital business card platform operated by Swift Card Inc (see our Company page). The full program terms are in our SMS & Messaging Terms and Privacy Policy.

Who sends the messages, and who they go to

Every SwiftCard user has a public card page (for example, swiftcard.me/their-name). People they meet share their contact details with them — in person, at an event, or through the "Share your info" form on that card page. Sharing contact details is not a subscription to text messages, and SwiftCard does not treat it as one: a contact captured that way is never sent an automated text.

How consent is obtained

Consent is given to the SwiftCard user, by the person they met, in the conversation where they exchanged details — the same permission any professional asks for before texting someone. SwiftCard does not text anyone on its own behalf and never markets to these contacts.

• A SwiftCard user opens a contact in their Contacts list and sets up a text follow-up for that one person.
• Before it can be switched on, the screen states: "Only switch this on if [contact] agreed you could text them. They can reply STOP at any time, which stops texts from SwiftCard for good." Switching it on is the user confirming they have that person's permission.
• Only that confirmation allows a text. It is recorded server-side as an sms-ok flag that can only be set from the user's own signed-in account — no public page, and nothing a visitor's browser sends, can set it.
• Contacts without that flag — everyone captured by the share form, the business-card scanner, manual entry or an import — are never sent an automated text. The user can still reply by email.
• The user can switch text follow-ups off for any contact at any time, and the contact's own STOP always overrides everything.

What the messages are

Texts are one-to-one follow-ups about the conversation the two people already had: the user's contact details, their replies, and any follow-up messages that user set up for that contact. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. There is no marketing, no promotional blasting and no third-party content, and mobile numbers or consent are never sold or shared for anyone else's marketing.

See it for yourself

The share form — which collects contact details and nothing else — is on a public page, with no login and no demo environment:

The number messages come from

Every SwiftCard text — replies, card links, and follow-ups alike — is sent from one shared number: (917) 905-7335. The SwiftCard user who is writing to you is named in the message itself.

Opting out

Replying STOP to any SwiftCard text suppresses that number across the entire platform — no SwiftCard user can text it through SwiftCard afterwards. Replying HELP returns program information and support contact details. Questions: hello@swiftcard.me.
