Privacy Policy

RESCUE MICHIGAN PRIVACY NOTICE

Pri­va­cy is very impor­tant to the Washt­e­naw Repub­li­can Club (WRC). As part of the nor­mal oper­a­tion of our ser­vices we may col­lect infor­ma­tion about you. This Pri­va­cy Notice describes the infor­ma­tion we col­lect about you and what may hap­pen to that infor­ma­tion. The pri­va­cy prac­tices of this state­ment apply to www.rescuemichigan.com and any oth­er web site used by WRC.

The Infor­ma­tion We Col­lect

At some WRC sites, you may be able to make con­tri­bu­tions, sign peti­tions, com­plete sur­veys, vote in polls or oth­er­wise express an opin­ion or par­tic­i­pate. The types of per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion that may be col­lect­ed at these pages include: name, address, e‑mail address, tele­phone num­ber, and infor­ma­tion about your inter­ests in and use of var­i­ous pro­grams and poli­cies.

We also may col­lect cer­tain non-per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion when you vis­it many of our web pages such as the type of brows­er you are using (e.g.,Firefox, Inter­net Explor­er), the type of oper­at­ing sys­tem you are using, (e.g., Win­dows Vista or Mac OSX) and the domain name of your Inter­net ser­vice provider (e.g., Ver­i­zon, AOL, Com­cast).

We may use the infor­ma­tion you pro­vide about your­self to ful­fill your requests for our pro­grams, to respond to your inquiries, and to con­tact you about future pro­grams that we believe may be of inter­est to you. An option to opt-out from this com­mu­ni­ca­tion is pro­vid­ed in every con­tact and is per­formed auto­mat­i­cal­ly at your request. More­over, we may use the infor­ma­tion that you pro­vide about oth­ers to enable us to send them addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion. In addi­tion, WRC may on occa­sion com­bine infor­ma­tion we receive online with out­side records to enhance our abil­i­ty to con­tact you about pro­grams that may be of inter­est to you.

The infor­ma­tion we col­lect in con­nec­tion with our web­sites is used to pro­vide an inter­ac­tive expe­ri­ence. We use this infor­ma­tion to facil­i­tate par­tic­i­pa­tion in grass­roots lob­by­ing, fundrais­ing, and oth­er pro­grams. We some­times use the non-per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion that we col­lect to improve the design and con­tent of our site and to enable us to per­son­al­ize your Inter­net expe­ri­ence. We also may use this infor­ma­tion in the aggre­gate to ana­lyze site usage.

Agents and con­trac­tors of WRC who have access to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion are required to pro­tect this infor­ma­tion in a man­ner that is con­sis­tent with this Pri­va­cy Notice by, for exam­ple, not using the infor­ma­tion for any pur­pose oth­er than to car­ry out the ser­vices they are per­form­ing for WRC.

On occa­sion, some of our sites may con­tain links to oth­er sites whose infor­ma­tion prac­tices may be dif­fer­ent than ours. Vis­i­tors should con­sult the oth­er sites’ pri­va­cy notices as we have no con­trol over infor­ma­tion that is sub­mit­ted to, or col­lect­ed by, these third par­ties.

Cook­ies

To enhance your expe­ri­ence with our sites, our web pages may use “cook­ies.” Cook­ies are text files we place in your com­put­er’s brows­er to store your pref­er­ences. Cook­ies, by them­selves, do not tell us your e‑mail address or oth­er per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion. How­ev­er, once you choose to fur­nish the site with per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion, this infor­ma­tion may be linked to the data stored in the cook­ie.

We use cook­ies to under­stand site usage and to improve the con­tent and offer­ings on our sites. For exam­ple, we may use cook­ies to per­son­al­ize your expe­ri­ence at our web pages (e.g., to rec­og­nize you by name when you return to our site), or to save your pass­word in pass­word-pro­tect­ed areas.

Our Com­mit­ment to Secu­ri­ty

We have put in place appro­pri­ate phys­i­cal, elec­tron­ic, and man­age­r­i­al pro­ce­dures to safe­guard and help pre­vent unau­tho­rized access, main­tain data secu­ri­ty, and cor­rect­ly use the infor­ma­tion we col­lect online. We do not save your cred­it card infor­ma­tion, nor pro­vide this infor­ma­tion to any third par­ty.
