Privacy/Data/AI Policies, Plain Language
Our Promise to You
Michigan United and Michigan United Action respect your privacy and your rights. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can stay in control.
What We Collect
- Things you tell us (name, email, phone, payment info).
- Things your device tells us (IP address, browser, cookies).
- Optional details you share (such as race or political views) to help us measure fairness in our work.
How We Use It
We use your info to run our website, send updates you ask for, improve our programs, and report on impact. We don’t sell your information. We share only with companies that help us send emails, analyze traffic, or process donations — and they must keep it safe.
Your Choices
- You can see, fix, or delete your info by emailing webmaster@miunited.org.
- You can unsubscribe any time or change cookie settings in your browser.
- If you live in Europe, you can ask for a copy of your data or move it to another service.
Data Protection
We use secure servers, strong encryption, and staff training. If something goes wrong, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Cookies
Cookies help the site work and help us understand what content matters to you. You can turn them off or limit them in your browser.
SMS Texts
By signing up for membership, engagement or texts, you agree to get occasional updates and alerts from us. Text STOP to end. We don’t share or sell your number.
AI Tools
Our AI chatbots give general information, not legal advice. They don’t store personal details. We regularly check for bias and make sure you can reach a human if you need to.
