PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 11/6/26
Gulf&Bay Marine (“Gulf&Bay,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or communicate with us about our services.
Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, phone number, email address, property or project details, and the contents of messages you submit through our website forms or provide to us by phone, in person, email, or text message. If you agree to receive text messages, we may also keep records of your SMS consent, including the number, date, method, and scope of your consent, and our related text-message conversations.
Analytics, cookies, and third-party services
Our website uses Google Tag Manager to manage website tags and related services, including Google Analytics 4, Google Ads conversion tracking, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Analytics. These services may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited, and interactions with the site, and may use cookies or similar technologies to understand site usage, improve performance, and measure advertising. We also embed YouTube videos and Google Reviews content; those providers may collect information or set cookies when their content loads. Our hosting and security providers may set necessary cookies, including Cloudflare’s __cf_bm bot-management cookie. We do not currently display a cookie-consent banner. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect site functionality.
How we use information
We use information to respond to inquiries; discuss requested estimates and services; communicate about a customer’s project, scheduling, or service; provide customer support; maintain business records; operate and protect our website and services; and meet legal obligations.
SMS/text messages
If you separately opt in, Gulf&Bay Marine may send you one-to-one conversational text messages about your inquiry, requested quote, project coordination, and customer service. We do not use this SMS program to send marketing campaigns, promotional offers, or bulk messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP or request help by replying HELP.
Providing a phone number by itself—including through a form, by phone, or in person—does not mean you have agreed to receive text messages. We will text you only when you have given the required permission for the applicable conversation or message purpose.
How we share information
We do not sell mobile information. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We may use service providers to support our website, business operations, or communications; they may use information only to provide services to Gulf & Bay Marine and must not use SMS opt-in data or consent for their own purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, customers, or business.
Data security and retention
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.
Your choices and contacting us
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For questions about this Policy or to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information, contact us at office@gulfandbaymarine.com or (727) 252-9915. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information when required or permitted by law.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
