Thoughts about Privacy

Someone recently said they wouldn't want to enter their telephone number on-line to get Mobile Prep delivered to their cell phone because they worried about getting unwanted text messages, etc.

That's a reasonable concern so I should first note that Positive Motion will not use, sell or otherwise do anything with the telephone number except to deliver user-initiated downloads (and to troubleshoot the download if necessary).

That said, the reason the number is requested is because most folks do not know how to get applications for their cell phones. It may be as easy as pointing the browser on the cell phone to the right web site but most folks do not know how to get to the browsers on their phones. The recent AP/AOL poll indicate that less than a third of cell phone users access the internet on their phones.

There are few things more annoying than getting unsolicited ad text messages. The FCC has issued a ban on such spamming so you should definitely make sure you're not on any list you don't want to be on. The trick is to make sure that you're not agreeing to be on any lists as a result of the fine print in the Terms of Use agreement. Most folks don't read these agreements so do be careful. If you tend to skip these as well then, to set your mind at ease I'll say again, Positive Motion does not use your telephone number for any reason other than to facilitate the delivery of our application to your phone.
