Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-10-03

SouthernMd.com provides Managed IT services. This website has no user accounts: visitors do not sign in, and nothing submitted to this site is stored on its servers. This policy describes the personal information the website collects and how that information is handled.

PII We Collect

We collect the following information when you use this site:

  • Contact Form: The name, email address, phone number (optional), and message you submit. Submissions are emailed to info@southernmd.com and are not stored on this website
  • Server Access: IP addresses, browser fingerprints, access logs for security

SMS and Communications

SouthernMd.com may send text messages to customers and contacts who have provided their mobile phone number and consented to receive SMS communications. Messages may include responses to inquiries, appointment confirmations, service updates, and general two-way business communication. We do not send bulk promotional or marketing text messages.

If you provide your phone number and agree to receive messages, we may contact you by SMS or phone for purposes such as:

  • Responding to your inquiries
  • Confirming appointments or meetings
  • Providing service updates or other non-marketing information

Message frequency varies based on your interactions with us; you will generally receive only occasional messages directly related to your inquiry or service.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.

To opt out of SMS messages from SouthernMd.com at any time, reply STOP to any message you receive from us. You will receive a single confirmation message and no further texts will be sent. To re-subscribe, reply START.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile plan. You can opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying "STOP" to a message from us. You may also reply "HELP" for more information or contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section below.

SMS Opt-In Data & Consent

We will not sell, share, or rent your phone number or SMS opt-in information to any third party for marketing or promotional purposes. No mobile number information collected through our SMS program will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

All SMS opt-in data and consent information is excluded from any data sharing, selling, or renting arrangements described in this Policy. This information will not be shared with any third parties for non-service-related purposes.

We may share your SMS opt-in or consent status only with third parties that directly assist us in delivering text messages to you — such as our SMS platform provider, phone carriers, and other vendors involved in message delivery — solely for the purpose of providing that service.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Personal data submitted through the contact form is processed only by this website and the infrastructure used to operate it.

Data Use

  • No Tracking: We do not use cookies, pixels, or tracking tags to monitor your behavior
  • No Sale/Share: We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties
  • GPC/DNT: Global Privacy Control and Do-Not-Track have no effect because no tracking, sale, or targeted advertising occurs. If that ever changes, we will honor opt-out signals and update this policy

Retention

  • Contact-form submissions live only in the info@southernmd.com mailbox — this website stores nothing
  • Server access logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes

Access & Deletion

To request access to, or deletion of, your personal data, email us at info@southernmd.com. We will respond within 30 days of your request.

Children's Privacy

You must be 13 years of age or older to use this website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your Choices

  • You may opt out of SMS by replying "STOP" to any message — see the SMS sections above
  • You may email us at info@southernmd.com to request removal of your contact details
