Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Understaffed Co. ("Understaffed," "we," "us") provides IT support, automation, and AI systems for small businesses. This policy explains what information we collect when you contact us or use our services, how we use it, and the choices you have — including specific terms for SMS/text messaging.
Information we collect
Contact details you give us directly: name, business name, email address, and phone number when you email us, submit a form, call, or text us. If you become a client, we also collect information needed to deliver the work you hire us for (e.g., system logins you explicitly grant access to, business data relevant to the automation we build). We do not collect information about you from third parties or data brokers.
How we use it
To respond to your inquiry, schedule calls, deliver and support the services you've engaged us for, and send you service-related updates (appointment confirmations, project status, invoices). We do not use your information for anything beyond running the working relationship you started with us.
SMS / text messaging terms
If you provide a mobile number and communicate with us by text, you may receive text messages from Understaffed Co. related to your inquiry or service (e.g., appointment reminders, follow-ups, project updates). Message frequency varies based on your engagement with us. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out of text messages — we will honor that request within 10 business days (in practice, immediately). Reply HELP for assistance. We do not share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Carrier is not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (e.g., email hosting, SMS delivery, cloud infrastructure), and only to the extent needed to provide our services to you. We may disclose information if required by law.
Data retention
We retain contact and communication records for as long as needed to support our working relationship and for a reasonable period afterward for recordkeeping. You can ask us to delete your contact information at any time by emailing team@understaffed.tech.
Your rights and choices
You can ask us what information we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion at any time — email team@understaffed.tech and we'll handle it directly, no forms or runaround. You can opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP, and out of email by replying to any message and asking us to stop.
Cookies and analytics
This site may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic (e.g., which pages are visited). We do not use tracking for third-party advertising and do not sell any data collected this way.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services evolve. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected here — we won't change how we handle your data retroactively without telling you.
