SMS Opt-In Flow

How we collect consent for text messages — age verification first, then two separate opt-ins, each recorded with the exact language you agreed to.

Reference — the same flow, step by step

§ 01 — Age gate — active date-of-birth entry

Every Cerebral surface requires a full date of birth (separate MM / DD / YYYY fields) before any content is shown. A birthdate under 21 is not admitted. Nothing about the birthdate is stored — only the fact that the check passed.

§ 02 — Account settings — two separate consent checkboxes

A member adds a mobile number in account settings (website) or Edit Profile (app), then sees two independent checkboxes, both unchecked by default. Each is stored with its own timestamp and the exact disclosure text shown below.

§ 03 — The exact consent language

These are the disclosures shown beside each checkbox and stored verbatim as the consent record:

Informational consent

I agree to receive informational and service-related text messages about my membership (like monthly pickup notices) from Cerebral Brewing at the number provided. Message frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time.

Marketing consent — optional, unchecked by default

I would like to receive marketing and promotional text messages (beer release drop alerts, event invites, cellar offers) from Cerebral Brewing at the number provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time.

§ 04 — What each consent sends

Informational consent covers membership service messages, such as a monthly pickup notice. Marketing consent covers promotional messages: beer release drop alerts, event invites, and cellar offers. Each category sends only under its own consent — checking one never enables the other. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply.

§ 05 — Stopping

Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe from all Cerebral texts immediately, or HELP for help. A member can also uncheck either consent in account settings or in the app at any time. We never share phone numbers or SMS consent with third parties for their own marketing — see our Privacy Policy and Terms.
