Text messages from CommonBeat

CommonBeat texts one thing: a one-time code that shows the phone number is yours.

Who sends them

CommonBeat is the name of the app. Verota Technology Ltd., of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is the company that runs it. Every text names CommonBeat.

What we text

  • A six-digit code each time you sign in to the app. It works for five minutes.
  • The same kind of code when you delete your account on our website, at commonbeat.ca/delete-account.
  • Nothing else: no marketing and no offers. Nothing goes to an advertising, attribution or marketing company.

This is the whole text, with your code in place of 123456:

123456 is your CommonBeat code. It expires in five minutes. We will never ask you for it.

How you agree to them

You type your own phone number on the app’s sign-in screen and tap Send the code. Under the number field, the screen says:

We text a six-digit code. By tapping Send the code, you agree that CommonBeat texts this number a one-time code each time you sign in. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Terms: commonbeat.ca/legal/terms. Privacy: commonbeat.ca/legal/privacy.

How people agree to CommonBeat texts. One: the CommonBeat app opens on its welcome screen. Two: on the "Your phone number" screen the person types their own number; under the field the screen says the consent sentence quoted on this page, and the "Send the code" button sends the code.
The welcome screen, then the sign-in screen with its consent under the number field.

How often, and what it costs

One text each time you sign in, or delete your account on our website, and never on a schedule. CommonBeat does not charge for them. Message and data rates from your carrier may apply.

Stopping them, and getting help

Reply STOP to any CommonBeat text and we send nothing more to that number. Without the texts, the app cannot sign you in with that number.

Reply HELP for help, or write to info@commonbeat.ca. A person reads every message sent there.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

A real person reads it. If it's about safety, put “Safety” in the subject line.
