How We Collect Consent

Consent is collected at account creation. When you complete onboarding in the Abuelita App, you are presented with a disclosure statement and asked to confirm your phone number. Your consent is recorded in our audit log with a timestamp and your user ID. You may not create an account without providing a valid phone number.

Caregivers and delegates who assist an elderly user through the onboarding flow on their behalf must confirm that the account holder has given their informed consent. This confirmation is also logged.

Privacy

Your phone number is stored securely and used solely for the purposes described above. We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number with advertisers or unaffiliated third parties. SMS delivery is handled by Twilio, Inc. under their privacy policy.
