SMS Messaging Program
Last updated 28 August 2026
hawknote is a note capture and reminder platform. Customers text notes to their hawknote number and the platform sends them back the reminders they scheduled. This page describes exactly which messages the platform sends, how customers consent to receive them, and how they stop.
Who receives messages
Only a registered hawknote customer, at a mobile number that customer has entered and verified themselves. hawknote never messages a number that has not completed the verification below. Customers cannot message one another, and hawknote sends no marketing or promotional messages of any kind.
What the customer consents to
Consent is given once and covers all three message types below — the one-time passcode, the confirmation, and the reminder notifications. It is not consent to verification alone. The checkbox wording names each type explicitly, and the passcode step exists only to prove the customer holds the number they entered.
How customers opt in
Registration is by invitation. Once a customer has an account at hawknote.net/app, opt-in happens on the web, in five steps:
- The customer opens Settings in their account.
- Under Phones that can text into your feed, they type their own mobile number.
- They tick the consent checkbox shown below. It is not pre-ticked, and hawknote refuses the request without it — the server rejects any attempt to send a passcode that does not carry affirmative consent.
- They press Send code, and hawknote sends a one-time passcode to the number.
- The customer types the passcode back into the web form. Entering it proves they hold the number and completes the opt-in. A single confirmation message follows.
The opt-in form, exactly as it appears in account settings at hawknote.net/app → Settings. It is also reproduced in full on a public page requiring no account: https://hawknote.net/optin
Phones that can text into your feed
The checkbox is unticked by default and is required before a passcode can be sent.
Every message the platform sends
There are three, and no others. Each is generated automatically by the application; no message is typed by a person.
1. One-time passcode — when a number is added
472913 is your hawknote verification code. It expires in 10 minutes. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out. hawknote.net
2. Opt-in confirmation — once, when the number is verified
You're subscribed to hawknote: verification codes and reminders you schedule. Msg frequency may vary. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel. hawknote.net
3. Reminder — only when the customer scheduled one
hawknote reminder: send the invoice to the charter client. Reply STOP to opt out. hawknote.net
The reminder text is the customer's own wording, taken from the note in which they asked to be reminded.
Message frequency
Message frequency may vary with the customer's own use of the platform and is typically fewer than 5 messages per month. hawknote sends a message only in response to something the customer did: adding a number, or scheduling a reminder. Message and data rates may apply.
Help and opting out
Reply HELP to any message for help, or email ian.bange@gmail.com.
Reply STOP to any message to cancel and receive no further messages. A customer may also remove the number in Settings at any time, which stops messages to it and stops texts from it being accepted.
Privacy
hawknote has one privacy policy, and it governs this messaging programme. It sets out what we collect, how mobile information is used, and our commitments on sharing: https://hawknote.net/privacy
