Program Description
Zovi (operated by Circl Technologies LLC, Montgomery TX) provides an optional phone number verification service for users of the Zovi mobile application. When users voluntarily provide their phone number and explicitly request a verification code, Zovi sends a one-time SMS passcode (OTP) to confirm the phone number belongs to the user.
How to Opt In
To receive SMS messages from Zovi:
