How runners opt in
Documentation of the Finish Line Engravers SMS opt-in experience — the registration flow, the consent language shown at the point of sign-up, and the one message runners receive.
The opt-in flow, step by step
Runner scans the event QR code
At the event venue, Finish Line Engravers displays a QR code at the registration table. Scanning it opens our registration form at register.finishlineengravers.com in the runner's own browser.
Runner enters their own information
The runner types their own information: name, optionally their finish time, and — only if they want their QR code by text — their mobile phone number. The phone number is optional; runners can save the QR code to their phone instead, and no text is sent unless a number is entered. Directly beneath the phone field — at the point of opt-in — the form displays this disclosure:
"By entering your number and submitting, you agree to receive a one-time text with your medal QR code. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out." — followed by links to the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
One transactional message — that's all
Submitting the form with a phone number triggers a single text containing the runner's registration ID and QR pass link. Message frequency: one (1) message per registration. No marketing, promotional, or recurring messages. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
