13. SMS/Text Messaging Terms

By providing your mobile phone number and opting in to receive SMS messages from ctrlentry, you agree to the following terms:

Opt-In Consent

By providing your phone number during account registration, enabling SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA), or otherwise requesting SMS notifications, you expressly consent to receive text messages from ctrlentry. Your consent is not a condition of purchase or use of the Service, except where SMS-based 2FA is required by your organization's security policy.

Types of Messages

You may receive the following types of SMS messages:

  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) codes: One-time verification codes to secure your account login
  • Security alerts: Notifications about unusual account activity or security events
  • Account notifications: Important updates about your account status, password resets, or service changes
  • Access alerts: Notifications when doors are unlocked or access events occur (if enabled)

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your account activity and notification preferences. 2FA codes are sent only when you attempt to log in with SMS verification enabled. Security and account alerts are sent as needed based on system events. You will not receive marketing or promotional messages via SMS unless you separately opt in to such communications.

Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. ctrlentry does not charge for SMS messages, but your mobile carrier may charge you for each text message you receive according to your mobile plan. Please contact your carrier for details about your messaging plan.

How to Opt Out

You can opt out of receiving SMS messages at any time by:

  • Replying STOP to any SMS message you receive from us
  • Disabling SMS-based 2FA in your account security settings and switching to email verification
  • Removing your phone number from your account profile
  • Contacting us at [email protected]

After opting out, you will receive a confirmation message and will no longer receive SMS messages from ctrlentry. Please note that if you opt out of SMS-based 2FA, you will need to use an alternative verification method (such as email) to access your account.
