Between Visits
Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Who we are
Between Visits is an early-stage pilot application that supports families in pediatric developmental follow-up between clinic visits. It sends a small number of text messages with a secure link to a child's care plan summary and short check-in questions. No real patient information is used at this stage; messages are sent only to people who have explicitly opted in and confirmed their own mobile number.
What we collect
For the text-message program we store: the mobile number provided at enrollment, the messages we send, and the replies we receive (typically single numbers such as "1"–"5"). Message content never includes names, dates of birth, diagnoses, or other identifying health details — sensitive information lives only behind the secure link, which requires a signed, expiring token to open.
Mobile information is never shared
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile numbers and text-message opt-in data and consent are not shared with or sold to any third party.
Message frequency and rates
Message frequency is low: about seven check-ins per family over the months between clinic visits, plus replies to questions you send us. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan.
Opting out and getting help
Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts at any time. Reply HELP for assistance. Opting out of text messages does not affect a child's care.
Not for urgent concerns
Between Visits is not for urgent medical concerns. If you are worried about your child's health now, call your clinic. In an emergency, call 911.
