Effective Date: July 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Simply Sorted Organizing. (“I”, “me”, or “my”), a professional organizing business based in Birmingham, Alabama, collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information from clients, prospective clients, website visitors, and other individuals (“you” or “your”). As a sole proprietorship, I am committed to protecting your privacy. This policy applies to information collected through my website, email, phone, in-person services, consultations, scheduling, payment processing, marketing, and other business activities.

Information I Collect

I collect the following types of information:

*Contact and Identity Information: Name, billing and service address, email address, phone number, company or organization name, and job title.

*Account and Scheduling Information: Appointment dates/times, service preferences, notes about your space, customer records, and communication history.

*Payment and Billing Information: Credit/debit card information or other payment details processed by third-party payment processors, billing address, and invoices.

*Service-Related Information: Photographs of your property (such as before and after photos), descriptions of items or storage needs, layout information, and any other details necessary to provide organizing services.

*Sensitive Categories: I generally do not collect sensitive personal data (such as Social Security numbers, health information, or financial account credentials). If you voluntarily provide sensitive information as part of organizing services (for example, personal documents you ask me to sort or handle), I will process it only as necessary to provide services and with strict confidentiality.

*Automatically: When you use my website or digital communications (via cookies and similar technologies).

*From Third Parties: Such as payment processors, scheduling platforms, referral partners, or publicly available sources when permitted by law.

Use of Information

I use personal information to:

* Provide and manage organizing services, consultations, and related customer support.

* Process payments, invoices, refunds, and fulfill business obligations.

* Schedule and confirm appointments, send reminders, and communicate about services.

* Improve my services, website, and overall customer experience.

* Send transactional communications related to your services and, with your consent, marketing communications about promotions, organizing tips, and news.

* Comply with legal obligations (including local Birmingham business licensing, tax record-keeping, and state requirements), enforce my service terms, and protect my rights and safety.

* Analyze usage trends for general business and operational purposes.

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

I do not sell your personal information. I may share personal information with:

*Service Providers and Vendors: Trusted third-party vendors (e.g., payment processors, scheduling platforms, CRM tools, cloud storage, email delivery services) who help me deliver services and operate my business.

*Professional Advisors: Such as my attorney, accountant, or business insurer, as necessary to maintain my operations and legal compliance.

*Law Enforcement or Regulators: When required by law, to respond to legal requests, or to protect the safety, property, or rights of myself, my clients, or others.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

I use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve my website, analyze site traffic, and support marketing. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some functionality on my website.

Data Retention

I retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, fulfill legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and local legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, I securely delete, anonymize, or dispose of it.

Security

I implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, loss, or disclosure. While I strive to protect your personal data using industry-standard measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure
