Who sends these messages
Light Alchemy Labs, a DBA of Light Alchemy Ventures LLC, sends them directly to its own customers from a single US number. Nobody sends on our behalf and we send on behalf of nobody else. There is no affiliate marketing, no third-party lead generation, and no third-party content of any kind in this program.
Who receives them
Only people who have created an account for Ren, our personal wellbeing app, entered their own mobile number in their profile settings, confirmed that number with a one-time passcode, and separately agreed to be texted. We do not buy, rent, import or otherwise obtain phone numbers from anywhere.
How you consent, and it is only for this
There is one way to opt in, and it looks the same wherever you meet it: a checkbox that is empty by default, standing on its own, with the full agreement written beside it. It is not bundled with signing up, not bundled with accepting any other agreement, and not required to use Ren. The exact sentence you agreed to is stored word for word alongside the date.
It appears in exactly two places, and both are the same control:
- During setup, on an optional step that can be skipped with “Not now”. You enter a mobile number and tick the box. Until both are done, the button to continue is not available.
- In Settings, under “How Ren reaches you”, at any time afterwards. Same checkbox, same sentence, same default of empty.
This is exactly what the screen looks like. Nothing is cropped, and nothing is pre‑ticked:
May I reach you now and then?
Rarely, and only when something we’ve talked about genuinely warrants it. A hard day you told me was coming; a date that matters. Never to pull you back in.
I’ll ask you to confirm this number before I ever use it.
A reproduction of the in‑app screen, shown here because Ren is invite‑only and the real form cannot be reached without an account. It is not a working form and collects nothing. The checkbox is unticked, as it is by default; the button is unavailable until a number is entered and the box is ticked.
By ticking that box you agree to the Terms & Conditions, and your number is handled as described in the Privacy Statement. Both apply to this text message program.
Stated plainly, the sentence beside that checkbox reads:
“Ren may text me occasionally, up to 4 messages a month and never twice in a week, and only when something we’ve talked about genuinely warrants it. I can reply STOP at any time to end it, or HELP if I need support. Message and data rates may apply.”
What we send
Infrequent, personal, one-to-one messages about something you have already discussed with Ren inside the app: acknowledging a difficult date you mentioned, or following up on something you asked to be asked about. Conversational care, never marketing. No promotions, no offers, no advertising.
How often
Up to 4 messages per month, and never twice within a week. Most months, fewer or none. These limits are enforced by the system itself.
Your number is never shared
Your mobile number and the fact that you consented are never shared or sold to third parties or affiliates for any purpose, including marketing, promotion, and lead generation. No advertisers, no data brokers, no exceptions. Full detail is in the privacy statement.
Stopping, and getting help
Reply STOP to any message and they end immediately. Reply HELP for support, or email dave@lightalchemyventures.com. You can also switch it off at any time in your account settings.
