Cominly SMS Program

How members opt in to text messages from Cominly, what we send, and how to stop.

Cominly is a private community app operated by Shashitu Enterprises LLC. Members may optionally add a phone number to receive important text-message (SMS) alerts from their community. Adding a phone number is voluntary and is never required to use the app or a condition of any purchase.

How you opt in (consent)

Consent is collected inside the Cominly mobile app. A member opts in by taking these explicit steps:

  1. Create a Cominly account, or open Profile → add phone number.
  2. Before saving, the app shows the SMS consent disclosure (below) and the member taps to agree and save their number.
  3. For urgent mutual-aid group texts, a member also joins a specific group whose admin may send claim alerts; members can leave the group at any time.

The exact disclosure shown in the app reads:

"By adding your phone number, you agree to receive SMS from Cominly, including community alerts, reminders, and verification codes. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."

Types of messages & samples

These are the exact kinds of messages Cominly sends. Messages are transactional and community-related — never third-party marketing.

Message frequency varies based on your community's activity. Verification codes are sent only when you request them; mutual-aid alerts are sent only when an admin raises an urgent claim.
