SMS Privacy Policy

JPMerc & Co.
Effective date: July 10, 2026

This SMS Privacy Policy describes how JPMerc & Co. ("JPMerc & Co.," "we," "us," or "our") handles mobile phone numbers and information in connection with its internal operational alert and notification messaging program. JPMerc & Co. is an IT leadership and managed-services firm based in Southborough, Massachusetts.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

JPMerc & Co. collects a mobile phone number only after an authorized member of our organization has provided written consent to receive internal system notifications, urgent operational alerts, and automated administrative messages. We use the mobile number solely to deliver those messages. We do not use it for marketing or advertising.

Mobile Information — No Sharing or Sale

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except with aggregators and service providers strictly necessary to transmit the SMS messages (for example, our messaging carrier). We do not sell mobile phone numbers or messaging data to anyone.

Opt-In and Consent

This is a private, internal messaging program. Before a mobile number is enrolled, the recipient receives the written consent notice published on our SMS Consent Procedure and provides a written acknowledgement from their organization email address. JPMerc & Co. records the recipient's name, mobile number, date, and acknowledgement before activating alerts. Consent is never bought, sold, rented, transferred, or inferred from a pre-existing business relationship.

Opt-Out and Help

You may opt out of receiving messages at any time by replying STOP to any message; we will send one confirmation message and then stop. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us at the address below. Message and data rates may apply; message frequency varies with system activity.

Data Retention and Security

Mobile numbers are retained only for as long as the recipient participates in the internal alerting program and are protected using reasonable administrative and technical safeguards consistent with our practice as a managed-services provider.
