Effective date: October 13, 2026
Extension Tech Inc., Canada, operates the Got Your 6 safety SMS program. This policy explains information used for emergency-contact SMS. Product information: https://extensiontech.ca/got-your-six. Privacy and support requests: support@gotyour6.app.
Information we process
The account owner supplies an emergency contact's name and phone number and identifies the safety relationship. When you opt in, we record your phone number, the relationship you approved, the consent date and method, the disclosure version, and the provider's incoming message identifier. We retain an invitation-token hash and expiry, and record opt-outs and relevant provider responses. Our hosting and messaging providers also process connection and message-delivery information needed to operate the service. We do not need your account password or payment-card details for SMS consent.
How we use it
We use this information to verify that consent came from the invited phone number, send authorized safety texts, maintain evidence of consent, honor STOP, answer HELP and support requests, prevent duplicate processing and abuse, and resolve messaging complaints. The owner can see whether your SMS consent is pending, active, or withdrawn. Opening an invitation or accepting Circle location sharing does not authorize SMS.
Sharing restrictions
We do not sell personal information. Mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and consent records are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We share the minimum needed with service providers acting on our behalf, including Twilio and hosting providers, to deliver messages, maintain consent and opt-out records, and prevent abuse. These processors may not use the information for their own marketing. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to address fraud or security incidents. Your SMS consent is not transferable permission for another business to market to you.
Your choices
Reply STOP to stop Got Your 6 safety SMS to your number across emergency-contact relationships; an account owner's permission is not required. We may send one confirmation. Reply HELP for assistance or email support@gotyour6.app. START may lift a provider block, but our application still requires a fresh invitation and opt-in. SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply.
STOP can also block requested sign-in codes until unblocked. STOP does not itself remove you from an owner's contact list or end Circle sharing, email, or push notifications. Contact the owner or support for help with those relationships and channels. You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information through our support address; we may verify your identity before responding.
Retention and security
Invitations expire after seven days. We keep consent evidence and opt-out records as needed to honor your instructions, prevent unwanted re-enrollment, investigate complaints, and meet legal obligations. Minimal suppression information may remain after contact or account deletion so deleting a relationship does not undo STOP. We review retention against these purposes and applicable deletion rights. We use transport encryption, restricted access, signed provider callbacks, and hashed invitation tokens; no system can guarantee absolute security.
Our providers may process information in Canada, the United States, and other countries where they operate. That information may be subject to applicable local laws. We use service providers and safeguards intended to protect the information consistent with this policy.
Contact and updates
Contact Extension Tech Inc. at support@gotyour6.app for privacy questions, a request about your information, or a messaging complaint. We will update the effective date when this policy changes and provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
