My Best Planner is a personal planning app operated by Gather & Create LLC. If you choose to, you can receive text-message reminders for the appointments, to-do's, and reminders you create for yourself inside your own account.

SMS is completely optional. You can create and use a My Best Planner account without ever giving us a phone number.

Who sends the messages

Messages are sent by My Best Planner, operated by Gather & Create LLC. We send a one-time verification code only after an account holder enters their own mobile number and affirmatively checks the optional SMS consent box. After the code is confirmed, My Best Planner may send only the planning reminders and account-related messages the user has requested.

How you opt in

  1. Sign in to My Best Planner and open Settings.
  2. Find the "SMS reminders" section and turn on "Enable SMS reminders".
  3. Read the consent statement and tick the consent checkbox. The box is unchecked by default and is never pre-selected.
  4. Enter your mobile phone number and select "Send code".
  5. Enter the 6-digit verification code we text you. Your number is only marked as verified once that code is confirmed.
  6. Choose which reminder texts you want: at the scheduled time, an early warning, and/or a once-daily morning digest.

The exact consent wording shown next to the checkbox is: “I agree to receive planning reminders and account-related text messages from My Best Planner, operated by Gather & Create LLC, at the mobile number I provide. Consent is not a condition of using the app. Message frequency varies based on the reminders I create and the options I select. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help.”

Actual SMS opt-in screens

These screenshots show the real SMS section of the authenticated My Best Planner Settings page. No real phone number, verification code, or account information is visible.

Step 1: SMS reminders are disabled by default

SMS reminders are optional and disabled by default. Users can continue using every other My Best Planner feature without enabling text messages.

Step 2: Separate affirmative consent is required

After enabling the SMS feature, the separate consent checkbox remains unchecked. The Send Code button stays disabled until the user affirmatively checks the consent box and provides a valid mobile number.

Step 2: Verify your mobile number

After providing consent and entering a mobile number, the user receives a one-time six-digit verification code. The number is not marked as verified until the correct code is entered.

Step 3: Choose your reminder preferences

  • At the scheduled reminder time
  • A selected number of minutes before
  • An optional once-daily morning digest

What kind of messages you'll get

  • A one-time 6-digit verification code when you add your number.
  • Reminder texts for reminders you created yourself in the app.
  • An optional once-daily morning summary of that day's reminders.

We do not send marketing, promotional, or third-party messages.

My Best Planner does not charge for text reminders. Message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier.

How to stop messages (STOP)

Reply STOP to any message to stop all text messages from My Best Planner. You can also turn SMS reminders off at any time in Settings. Other keywords we honor include STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, and QUIT. After you opt out you will receive one confirmation message and nothing further.

How to get help (HELP)

Privacy of your number

We do not share, sell, or rent your mobile phone number, SMS opt-in information, or messaging consent to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Your number is processed by our telecommunications provider only as needed to deliver these messages. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
