SMS Messaging Policy & Opt-In

TapIQ Inc. · tapiq.com · Last updated July 30, 2026

TapIQ Inc. provides NFC business cards and contact-intelligence software. This page documents every SMS program TapIQ operates, the complete opt-in workflow for each, and the disclosures presented to consumers. TapIQ never purchases contact lists and never sends unsolicited (cold) messages.

Program 1: Tap-to-Text (consumer-initiated conversation)

A TapIQ member's physical NFC business card can be configured to start a text conversation instead of opening a web profile. The complete opt-in workflow:

  1. A TapIQ member hands their physical TapIQ card to a person they have just met in person, or the person asks to tap it.
  2. The person taps the card with their own phone. Their phone's native SMS app opens a compose screen addressed to the member's dedicated TapIQ number, with an editable prefilled greeting. Nothing is sent automatically — the tap only prepares a draft on the consumer's own device.
  3. The consumer chooses whether to press send. Sending this first message constitutes the consumer's opt-in.
  4. TapIQ sends one automated reply containing the member's contact card link.
  5. All subsequent messages are ordinary two-way human conversation between the consumer and the member.

Step 2 — the notification produced by tapping a TapIQ card. The consumer's phone offers to compose a message; nothing is sent.

Step 3 — the compose screen with the editable prefilled greeting. The consumer presses send by their own choice.

Consent disclosure. By tapping a TapIQ card and sending the initial message, you agree to receive a reply text message from TapIQ Inc. containing the member's contact card, and subsequent conversational messages from that member. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

Program 2: Member account notifications (toll-free)

Registered TapIQ members can opt in to receive a text notification when a visitor submits the contact form on the member's own profile. Members opt in via an unchecked consent checkbox next to their phone number in account settings, with frequency, rates, STOP/HELP, and links to our Terms and Privacy Policy disclosed at the point of collection. This program messages TapIQ account holders only.

Opt-out and help

Reply STOP to any TapIQ message to opt out; opt-outs are honored immediately and automatically on all TapIQ numbers. Reply HELP for assistance, visit tapiq.com, or email support@tapiq.com.
