The study updates program
Orva Studies Network, at orvasn.com, sends recurring automated marketing text messages to people who give their mobile number on the Study updates page and check the text message box. The messages cover clinical research in the six areas Orva writes about, and your sign-up itself: its confirmation and the replies to HELP and STOP. Every message starts with [Orva].
The text message box is optional. Without it, Orva contacts you by email only.
Sent by Orva, and only Orva
Orva is not a referral or lead service. Your number, your consent and your answers stay with Orva, and no study team, sponsor or other business receives them. A text can tell you about research; it cannot put you in a study. To take part in a study, you contact its team, and that team decides.
Opting in
The Study updates page is the only place on orvasn.com that collects a mobile number. The text box there is never checked for you. After you sign up, Orva sends one message to confirm it.
Consent is not a condition of purchase or service, or of taking part in any study.
How often
Message frequency varies, up to 4 messages per month.
