Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Who We Are

Shepherd Bay ("Shepherd Bay," "we," "us," or "our") is a general construction and construction management company based in Charleston, South Carolina. This policy explains what information we collect through shepherd-bay.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, phone number, and project details you choose to share with us.
• Automatically collected information. Our hosting provider may log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and performance purposes. We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies of our own.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry and discuss your project
• Provide estimates, schedule consultations, and follow up as needed
• Maintain records related to our business operations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

Our Site relies on a small number of third-party services to operate:

• Form processing. Contact form submissions are delivered to us via FormSubmit, a third-party form-handling service, and forwarded to our email inbox.
• Fonts. Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which may log basic request data (such as IP address) as part of delivering font files.
• Hosting. The Site is hosted on Netlify, which may log standard server access data.
• Social media. Links to our Instagram page take you to a third-party platform governed by its own privacy policy.

Each of these providers has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them if you have questions about how they handle data.

Data Retention

We retain information submitted through our contact form for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain related business records, after which it may be deleted.

Your Choices

You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you or to request that it be corrected or deleted, subject to any legitimate business or legal recordkeeping needs.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is intended for a general business audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
