Text messages

What is sent, who asks for it, and how to stop it

How somebody opts in

A guest has their photograph taken at a booth. On the screen showing that photograph there is a row of things they can do with it — print it, have it emailed, have a link texted, save it, or scan a code and take it themselves.

If they tap Text, a field appears. The guest types their own mobile number and taps Send. That is the whole of the opt-in: they ask, on the booth, for their own photograph. Nobody is asked for a number, nothing is collected in advance, and no list exists to be added to.

Beside it: a link to your photograph. One message. Reply STOP to opt out. Message and data rates may apply. See privacy.

What arrives

Ahl Reunion: your photo — https://ahlsnap.us/p/k7m2qp
Reply STOP to opt out.

Seventy-six characters, one message. The link opens that guest's own photograph, which they can save to their phone. It expires with the photograph, thirty days after the event.

How often

One message per photograph, at the moment it is asked for. There is no follow-up, no reminder, no marketing and no newsletter. A guest who has five photographs taken and asks for all five receives five messages, each at the moment they asked.

How to stop

Reply STOP to any message. It takes effect at once and for good. HELP replies with how to reach us. Neither needs anybody's involvement and neither can be overridden by an operator.

What is kept

Not the number. It is typed by the guest, used once to send that one message, and not written down. The booth keeps a count of how many messages it sent in a day, to hold itself to a limit, and nothing else — not who to, not what was said.

The full policy is on the privacy page, and the terms covering it are on the terms page.
