Opt-In

Website flows where members consent to WhatsApp authentication

Consent is collected before the first WhatsApp authentication template is sent. SMS STOP/HELP keywords are not used.

Venue QR self-registration

A visitor scans a venue QR code, selects WhatsApp, and taps the send button with the auth disclosure beside it; the tap is recorded as consent before the first authentication template is sent.

Step: The visitor opens the public registration landing page from the venue QR code.
Step: They select WhatsApp (no channel is preselected) and enter their name and mobile number.
Step: PlayerDesk shows the WhatsApp auth disclosure, with links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, directly beside the send button.
Step: The tap is the consent. Pre-account consent evidence is recorded before any OTP is sent.
Step: PlayerDesk sends a WhatsApp authentication-template OTP. After the visitor enters the code, the account is created or linked.

Authenticated member settings opt-in

An existing member can choose WhatsApp for sign-in codes from account settings.

Step: The member verifies a mobile phone number in settings by WhatsApp, or, with a verified phone, chooses WhatsApp under "Send my sign-in codes by".
Step: PlayerDesk shows the WhatsApp auth disclosure, with links to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, directly beside that button.
Step: The tap is the consent. PlayerDesk records it before any code is sent, and sign-in codes then go by WhatsApp. One consent covers every PlayerDesk venue.
