How Fetch keeps you protected

Plain words about how sending works, and why it is built this way.

Texts and WhatsApp messages: always you. Every text and WhatsApp message leaves from your own phone and your own number, pressed by you, one at a time. Fetch writes the drafts and never sends a text or a WhatsApp message.

Emails: you, unless you turn on Autopilot. Without Autopilot, every email opens in your own mail app and you press send. With Autopilot on, Fetch sends the emails you wrote and approved, from the sending address Fetch makes for you, within the daily limit, days and hours you choose. Each one carries your business name, your postal address and a plain way out (reply "stop", or the unsubscribe button in their mail program), and an agent who takes it is never emailed from your account again.

Person-to-person, by design

Bulk blasting is what gets numbers flagged and senders in trouble. Fetch is deliberately built so that cannot happen from here:

• One message, one agent. There is no send-to-all button anywhere in Fetch, and there never will be. Every text is one tap by you, and Autopilot sends its emails one at a time, minutes apart, never as a blast.
• Your own number, an address just for outreach. Texts go out through your phone's own apps, exactly like a text you would write yourself, because it is one. Autopilot's emails go out from an address Fetch makes just for you, so spam reports never touch your own email, and every answer waits in your Fetch Inbox.
• Every message is personal. Drafts name the agent and their specific listing. Nothing is a broadcast.

Volume stays safe on its own

Your plan caps how many agents you can reach in a day. That is not a paywall trick, it is pacing: a working photographer reaching out person-to-person, at a volume a person would actually send. Writing again to an agent you already contacted that day is always free, because a conversation is not volume. Autopilot has its own daily email limit, which you choose, up to 40 a day.

What we recommend

• Send during business hours, the way you would want to be reached.
• If an agent asks you to stop, mark them Not interested and move on. Fetch will never suggest them again.
• Keep it honest: you are a local photographer offering work, and the drafts are written to sound exactly like that.
