About SIAEA and why we send text messages
The Society of Indo-American Engineers and Architects (“SIAEA”) is a non-profit professional membership association for engineers and architects, based in New York, United States. SIAEA operates a paid membership program, hosts ticketed professional and cultural events, and awards student scholarships.
SIAEA sends informational and transactional text messages only, to its own members, event registrants and ticket purchasers who have affirmatively opted in on a SIAEA web form. SIAEA does not send marketing or promotional text messages, does not purchase or rent phone lists, and does not text anyone who has not opted in on this website.

Reviewer access — no login required to see the opt-in
Opt-in pathways 1, 2 and 3 below are fully public: the mobile number field and the unchecked SMS consent checkbox can be seen without creating an account or signing in. A reviewer can open https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/auth, switch to the sign-up tab, and see the unchecked consent checkbox directly beneath the mobile number field. No credentials, paywall or gate of any kind blocks review of the opt-in, this page, the Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions.
Pathway 4 (updating a mobile number from an existing member’s profile) is behind sign-in only because it edits an existing account. It presents the exact same unchecked checkbox and identical consent language shown below.
How you opt in
You opt in to SMS messages from the Society of Indo-American Engineers and Architects (“SIAEA”) by entering your mobile number on a SIAEA website form and actively selecting an unchecked consent checkbox. The checkbox is never pre-selected. Consent is captured only when you check the box and submit the form. SIAEA does not collect SMS consent by phone, paper, text keyword, or any offline method — web forms are the only opt-in path.
Exact consent language shown on every form
“I agree to receive informational and transactional SMS messages from SIAEA concerning my membership, event registrations, ticket purchases, payment confirmations, event reminders, scholarship communications, account verification and organizational announcements. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. Consent is not required to make a purchase, register for an event or become a member. View our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.”
This wording appears next to an unchecked checkbox directly beneath the mobile number field on every form listed below. The Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions words are clickable links to https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/privacy and https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/terms.
Opt-in pathways and direct URLs
Every SIAEA opt-in pathway, with its exact direct URL and the step-by-step workflow a user follows:
- Visitor opens the sign-up page (no login required).
- Visitor enters full name, email, mobile number and password.
- Directly below the mobile number field, an unchecked SMS consent checkbox with the exact language above is displayed.
- Visitor optionally checks the box, then clicks Create account.
- Consent status, mobile number, timestamp, page URL, form name and consent-language version are written to SIAEA's consent log.
- Visitor reviews membership tiers (no login required, no phone collected on this page).
- Visitor clicks Join / Apply, which opens the sign-up form above where the mobile number and unchecked SMS consent checkbox are presented.
- Visitor opens the events listing and selects an event.
- On the event page the visitor chooses a ticket, table of 10, sponsorship or add-on and clicks Reserve or Continue to payment.
- The registration form asks for name, email and mobile number.
- An unchecked SMS consent checkbox with the exact language above is displayed directly beneath the mobile number field.
- Visitor optionally checks the box and submits the registration.
- An existing member signs in at https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/auth.
- Member opens the profile page and enters or updates their mobile number.
- An unchecked SMS consent checkbox with the exact language above is displayed beneath the mobile number field; if the member previously opted in, the box reflects their stored choice and can be unchecked to opt out.
- Member clicks Save. Opt-in or opt-out is written to the consent log with a timestamp.
- Scholarship (https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/scholarships), sponsorship (https://indo-archinect.lovable.app/sponsors) and donation inquiries route to the contact form.
- The contact form collects name, email and message only — no mobile number is collected and no SMS consent is captured on this path.
- Applicants who later become members or register for an event opt in through pathways 1–4 above.
