We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share certain data under the following circumstances:
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These include, but are not limited to:
Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of our databases or the information you transmit.
Under Michigan law, you have certain rights concerning your personal information:
To exercise these rights, please contact us.
We retain personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Factors that determine the retention period may include:
Once your personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
Consistent with our MSA, minors under the age of 18 (“Children”) may access or use our services only if a parent or legal guardian (“Authorized Representative”) has provided consent. We do not knowingly enter into agreements or collect personal information directly from minors without verifiable parental or guardian consent.
If a minor participates in our services with proper parental or guardian authorization, we may collect personal information necessary to facilitate the service (e.g., name, address, birthdate, and other details as outlined in our data collection chart). Such data is used and retained in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the MSA.
By signing the MSA on behalf of a minor, the Authorized Representative consents to the collection and use of the minor’s personal data as described in this Policy and assumes financial responsibility for the minor’s activities, as detailed in the MSA.
The Authorized Representative grants the Company permission to administer first aid or seek medical treatment for the minor in an emergency, which may involve disclosing the minor’s relevant personal information to healthcare providers.
A parent or guardian who has previously authorized a minor’s participation may withdraw consent by contacting us. Upon withdrawal, we will delete or deidentify the minor’s personal information unless retention is otherwise required or permitted by law.
If you believe we have collected personal information from a minor in violation of this Privacy Policy or the MSA, or if you have questions about how we handle minors’ data, please contact us.
Depending on your location and the location of our service providers or partners, your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than your own. We will take appropriate measures to ensure such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, including using technical safeguards. You will retain all rights as specified in this Privacy Policy regardless of where your data is transferred.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, provide additional notice (e.g., by posting a statement on our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to periodically review this policy to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
