Rapid Cortex SMS messaging program

Program name: Rapid Cortex SMS (including Rapid Cortex Connect), operated by Apps on Demand LLC d/b/a Rapid Cortex (https://www.rapidcortex.us).

Program description: Rapid Cortex sends transactional SMS related to public-safety workflows. This includes (1) one-time camera consent requests to property owners who enrolled an eligible Ring™ or Nest™ device in Rapid Cortex Connect, when a participating agency requests temporary live camera access for a nearby active emergency; and (2) dispatcher-initiated, incident-specific texts to individuals who contacted 911 or another public safety communications center and agreed on that call to receive a text for the active incident (for example, a secure media upload, location clarification, or language-assistance link). Messages are not used for marketing, advertising, promotions, or mass public alerting.

Message frequency: Message frequency varies. Texts are incident-triggered and typically infrequent; enrolled device owners or consented callers may receive zero messages unless an authorized workflow requires one.

Message and data rates:Message and data rates may apply. Carrier charges are the recipient's responsibility under their wireless plan.

Opt-out and help: Reply STOP to opt out of further SMS from this program. Reply HELP for help. Opting out of SMS does not cancel 911 voice service or other non-SMS emergency channels. Additional consent and disclosure details are published at https://www.rapidcortex.us/sms-consent. Mobile numbers and SMS consent are handled as described in our Privacy policy.
