When you sign up we collect your name, mobile number, and email address, and a consent record — the consent wording version, timestamp, IP address, and browser user-agent at the moment you consent. For WhatsApp subscribers, we also collect your WhatsApp phone number and the messages you send us on WhatsApp.
2. How we use it
To deliver the Almanac service (zmanim and davening times) to you by SMS and/or WhatsApp, to confirm your identity with one-time verification codes, to respond to messages you send us, and to keep records of your consent as required by law.
3. How we share it
We share your mobile number only with messaging-infrastructure providers (e.g., Twilio for SMS and Meta Platforms, Inc. / WhatsApp for WhatsApp) strictly as needed to deliver your messages, and with service providers (e.g., Supabase) that host our data on our behalf. We do not sell your information. SMS opt-in and consent data, and your mobile number, are not shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, or for any other purpose. Messages delivered over WhatsApp are transmitted through Meta/WhatsApp and are also subject to WhatsApp’s own privacy policy.

SMS and WhatsApp are separate channels with separate opt-in. Subscribing on one does not subscribe you on the other.
