This page explains how staff at GabADoc customer organizations are enrolled to receive SMS notifications, and the consent and disclosures that apply to every enrollment.
How Enrollment and Consent Work
GabADoc is a business-to-business platform. A Customer organization's administrator (for example, a hospitalist group's practice manager) enrolls each employee or contracted provider ("User") in the platform as part of onboarding and enters that User's mobile phone number at that time. Enrollment alone does not turn on SMS.
SMS consent is a separate, individual, opt-in choice each User makes themselves. The first time a User sets their password to finish setting up their account, they see an unchecked checkbox for SMS notifications, described below. Only checking that box turns SMS on for that person -- it is optional, off by default, and every User can turn it on or off at any time afterward in the app, under Settings > Your account > Notifications, independent of their administrator. This consent is also disclosed in our Terms of Service (Section 5, "SMS and Notification Consent") and Privacy Policy (Section 3, "SMS / Text Messaging").
The Consent Notice Shown to Each User
The following checkbox and notice is shown to every User the first time they set their password to finish account setup, and again as a toggle anytime afterward in Settings > Your account > Notifications:
"Text me operational schedule notifications from GabADoc (shift changes, swap requests, time-off decisions, on-call pages). Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."
This checkbox starts unchecked. A User who leaves it unchecked, or who later turns it off, still gets the in-app notification for the same events -- SMS is an optional addition, never the only way a User learns about a schedule change.
Sample Messages
Examples of the operational messages a User may receive:
"Your shift swap request for [DATE] has been approved. View details at gabadoc.com. Reply STOP to opt out."
"You've been assigned on-call coverage starting [DATE] at [TIME]. Reply STOP to opt out."
Opting Out
A User can turn SMS off themselves at any time in the app, under Settings > Your account > Notifications -- no administrator action needed. Replying STOP also opts a User out of SMS messages at any time. Opting out does not remove a User from the underlying schedule -- it only stops text notifications. A User may also ask their organization's administrator to update their contact information.
