SMS Consent Policy

About this service

Paper Tiger is a conversational assessment platform operated by Subtle Edge LLC. Hiring organizations use Paper Tiger to send assessment invitations to participants via text message.

How consent is collected (written, web-based)

An authorized representative of the hiring organization enters the participant's name and phone number into the Paper Tiger web dashboard. By submitting this information, the organization confirms that the participant provided their phone number in a hiring context (application, resume, or referral) and consents to receiving assessment communications.

The dashboard form requires the representative to select SMS as the delivery method and enter the participant's phone number before submission. This explicit action constitutes written opt-in through a web form.

What messages are sent

Messages are transactional assessment invitations only, never marketing. Participants receive:

An initial invitation with the organization name and assessment details
A link to begin the assessment when the participant is ready
A reminder if a scheduled time is approaching

Message frequency is low: typically 2 to 4 messages per assessment. Standard message and data rates may apply.

Sample message

"Hi Jordan, Acme Corp has invited you to a Leadership Screen assessment with Paper Tiger. This is an AI-powered conversation. When works for you? Reply with a time like 'tomorrow 2pm' or 'now' to start right away. Reply STOP to opt out. Reply HELP for help."

AI disclosure

The first message discloses that the assessment involves a conversation with AI, consistent with the Illinois AI Act and California SB 243.

Opt-out

Participants can reply STOP at any time to opt out of all future messages. Opt-out is immediate and permanent for that organization. Twilio processes STOP automatically at the carrier level.

Help

Participants can reply HELP at any time to receive information about the service and opt-out instructions.

Privacy

Participant phone numbers are stored on the invitation record only. They are not added to a marketing list or shared with third parties. Numbers are deleted per Subtle Edge LLC's data retention policy. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
