Text Messaging & Opt-In
How crew consent to receive text messages from The Daily DoP.
The program
The Daily DoP is a film-production management tool operated by Joshua R. Turner. Crew on a production receive transactional text messages (SMS and WhatsApp) — task assignments, questions directed to them, schedule and gear changes — and can text back to reply, add their own tasks/notes/calendar events, or send a file. It is not used for marketing.
How crew opt in — texting is optional
- A production owner sends a crew member a private invitation link.
- The crew member opens the link and completes the join form — name, email and password only are required.
- To receive texts — and only if they want them — they optionally enter their own mobile number and check a separate consent box that is unchecked by default. Both the phone number and the box are optional: a person can leave them blank, submit, and use The Daily DoP fully on the web and by email. SMS/WhatsApp consent is never required to create an account or use the service.
The actual join form (invitations are private, so it isn’t publicly linked):
Texting is optional — leave the box unchecked and still use The Daily DoP on the web and by email.
The consent box is unchecked by default and is not required — crew can submit and use the service without it, and the submit button is enabled either way. Only crew who provide a number and check the box receive texts; everyone else uses the app on the web and by email. Consent is never a condition of creating an account, using the service, or any purchase. Crew can change channels or remove their number any time in Settings, or reply STOP at any time.
