Messaging Policy

Working draft · September 21, 2026

This is working product copy. Confirm it against the production implementation and obtain legal review before launch.

Accounts and consent

Every sender must have a GhostRepel account with a real name and verified phone number, and must separately text GHOSTED from that number. Recipients do not need an account; they become eligible to receive by texting GHOSTED from the phone that will receive messages.

What we send

GhostRepel relays low-volume, moderated personal messages from verified, enabled senders to opted-in phone numbers. Recipients do not see the sender’s identity, but GhostRepel retains verified sender information for abuse prevention, enforcement, disputes, and valid legal requests.

Program information

STOP and HELP instructions are provided in the confirmation sent when a phone number opts in by texting GHOSTED. Relay-message formatting will match the final carrier-approved campaign.

STOP and HELP

STOP immediately disables receiving platform-wide for that number. If the number belongs to a sender account, it also disables sending. HELP returns support information. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply.

Prohibited content

Threats, harassment, stalking, coercion, hate, sexual harassment, doxxing, impersonation, spam, unlawful content, and attempts to evade a block are prohibited. Messages are screened and rate-limited before delivery.
