Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Dry Ocala collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It covers our text messaging (SMS) program in detail.

Effective date: August 10, 2026

Who operates this site

The Dry Ocala website (dryocala.com) is operated by Nearside Media LLC. Nearside Media LLC is the party responsible for this site and for any text message it sends. In this policy, "we," "us," and "our" mean Nearside Media LLC operating as Dry Ocala.

Dry Ocala connects Ocala and Marion County homeowners with an independent, licensed and insured water damage restoration contractor who performs the actual work. See our Disclaimer for how that connection works.

What we collect

We collect only what you give us so we can respond to your request:

  • From the assessment form: your name, phone number, property address, and the description of the damage you provide.
  • From phone calls: the phone number you call from and the details you share about your situation. Calls may be recorded for quality and dispatch.
  • Basic technical data: standard server logs such as your device type and the page you arrived from, used to keep the site working and secure.

How we use your information

We use the details you provide to:

  • Contact you about your request and schedule a free on-site assessment.
  • Connect you with the licensed restoration contractor who will service your job.
  • Send you text messages about your inquiry and service, only if you opt in.
  • Keep records of your request and maintain the security of the site.

Text messaging (SMS) terms

If you check the consent box on our form or otherwise opt in, you agree to receive text messages from Dry Ocala (Nearside Media LLC) about your inquiry and service.

  • Program: messages relate to your assessment request, scheduling, and service updates.
  • Message frequency: message frequency varies based on your request and any active job.
  • Cost: message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan and carrier.
  • Opt out: reply STOP at any time to stop receiving text messages.

Your SMS opt-in consent and your phone number are never sold or shared with any third party for marketing purposes. This includes text message opt-in data, which we do not share with third parties for their own marketing under any circumstances.

When we share information, and when we do not

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your phone number or your SMS opt-in consent with third parties for their marketing.

To fulfill your request, we share the contact and property details you submit with the licensed restoration contractor who will service your job. That contractor uses your information only to contact you and perform the work you asked for. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the safety and security of our site and the people who use it.

How long we keep it

We keep your request details only as long as needed to respond to you, coordinate your service, and meet our record-keeping and legal obligations. You may ask us to delete your information by contacting us using the details below.

Your choices

You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make any of these requests, contact us using the details below.
