StuffLibrary is a free neighborhood item-lending platform operated by Cull Ventures LLC. We text members about their own lending activity — a neighbor asking to borrow something, a request answered, an item due back — and nothing else. We do not send marketing or promotional texts, and we do not text people who have not asked us to. Text notifications are optional and not a condition of using StuffLibrary; every notification is also available by email.
Anyone can sign up — no invitation needed. Accounts are verified by a code sent to the email address you enter.

Text notifications live in the "Text Notifications" section of your own profile, alongside your name, photo, and address.

The box is unchecked when you arrive. Nothing is sent unless you check it yourself and save. Entering a number without checking the box stores the number for account recovery but sends you no texts.
We record the date and time of your consent, then send a single confirmation message. Notifications begin only after that.
This is the same checkbox that appears in profile settings, rendered here from the same source. It is unchecked by default — consent is an action a member takes, never a default we set for them.
After saving, a member receives one confirmation message: “StuffLibrary: You’re signed up for borrow updates and account texts. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.”
Every message is triggered by the member’s own account activity. Message frequency varies with how much a member lends and borrows — typically zero to ten messages a month. Message and data rates may apply.

We collect mobile numbers only through the opt-in above. We never buy them, import them, or accept them from third parties, and one member cannot enter another member’s number.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
