About Our Commitment to Privacy and Data Protection

As a leading provider of internet and local search services, we recognize and take the responsibility for individual privacy and personal data protection seriously. When you share any facts about yourself with JustMichigan.com, it goes no further than us.

Usually, you can surf JustMichigan.com without submitting any information about yourself. Sometimes we may request a few particulars, such as your name and e-mail address. This is necessary for correspondence, providing subscriptions, and so forth. But we'll always let you know why we need such information and how it will be used.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to JustMichigan.com, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit JustMichigan.com, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to JustMichigan.com, and not to other companies or organizations Web sites to which we link. We have clearly marked JustMichigan.com and other branded Web sites with our logo so you know where this policy applies.

Information about all JustMichigan.com's visitors.

In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to JustMichigan.com and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible.

For example, JustMichigan.com may use a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. JustMichigan.com cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is.

We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our JustMichigan.com partners about how our "members", collectively, use JustMichigan.com. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.

Disclosure

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to JustMichigan.com or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mention above, we may share with our Web site partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of JustMichigan.com.

The sites displayed as search results or linked to by JustMichigan.com services are developed by people over whom JustMichigan.com exercises no control. These other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information. JustMichigan.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. We restrict access to your personally identifying information to personnel who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. While "absolute security" does not exist on the internet, our technical experts at JustMichigan.com work hard to secure our services.

Third-party practices

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of our Partners. In addition, any web sites that you click to from one of our search results pages may have been developed by third-parties over which we exercise no control. Such web sites may send their own cookies to end-users, collect data, or solicit personally identifiable information from you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
