Trust & privacy

Your info. Our responsibility.

We keep this simple, private and reviewable. Uptick sends the messages a member asked for, and a participating store never receives a member's phone number or messaging consent.

In plain language

Four things worth saying straight.

Joining is free

No membership fee, and no purchase is required to receive the featured benefit.

Texts are a separate choice

The promotional checkbox is optional and unchecked to start. You can join, use membership and redeem a benefit without ever agreeing to it.

Your number stays with Uptick

A participating store fulfills the benefit. It does not receive your phone number, your messaging consent or your member history.

Stopping is not leaving

Reply STOP and the texts end. Your membership and any benefit already issued to you are untouched.

If you text us back

What each word actually does.

  • STOP

    Stops Uptick Local texts.

    Does not cancel your membership and does not take away a benefit already issued to you. Your membership stays usable on the web.

  • START

    Asks the carrier to remove its messaging block.

    Does not enroll you and does not restore promotional consent. Promotional texts resume only after a fresh opt-in you make yourself.

  • HELP

    Returns help information and a support path. Contact iwhite@upticklocal.com.

    Does not create consent of any kind.

Mobile information, including phone numbers and SMS opt-in or consent data, will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Message frequency varies. A published weekly release may create one featured-benefit notice, and service, transactional or support activity may create additional messages. Message and data rates may apply.
