How EvangelIT collects SMS consent

SMS consent is collected via an optional, unchecked-by-default checkbox on the final step of account registration. It is never required to register — a person can create an account, and use EvangelIT, without agreeing to SMS.

EvangelIT registration — 'Get started' screen showing the SMS consent notice at the top and the account-type choice (Individual or Church).
Step 1 — Registration opens with the SMS consent notice; the person first chooses an account type (Individual or Church).
EvangelIT registration — Statement of Faith step, with the SMS consent notice still displayed at the top.
Step 2 — Affirming the statement of faith. The SMS consent notice remains visible; consent is described but not yet requested.
EvangelIT registration — final account-details step with an optional, unchecked SMS consent checkbox and linked Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
Final step — the account-details form carries the optional, unchecked-by-default consent checkbox, with linked Privacy Policy and SMS Terms. Registration does not require it.
EvangelIT — 'Check your email' screen shown after the account is created.
After registration — the account is created and email verification begins; SMS consent was optional throughout.

The exact consent checkbox wording

This is the verbatim text beside the unchecked checkbox on the final registration step:

“I agree to receive SMS messages from EvangelIT (a product of Gooverio Labs LLC) for ministry outreach, pastoral care, and discipleship purposes. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. See Privacy Policy and SMS Terms. Optional — you can create your account without agreeing, and opt in later.”
