Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to the Michigan Humanities Council (MHC). The MHC does not collect personal information about you unless that is provided by you for informational purposes. In addition, we do not engage in any commercial or marketing activities with respect to our on-line users.

Here is how the MHC handles information about your visit to our website.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, the Michigan Humanities Council will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. This information may be used to help make our site more useful, to learn about the number of visitors to our site, and to learn about the types of technology our visitors use. The MHC does not track or record information about individuals and their visits. The following information will be automatically collected and stored:

1. The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "your school.edu" if you connect from a university) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web) from which you access our web site;
2. The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
3. The date and time you access our site;
4. The pages you visit; and
5. If you linked to the Council web site from another web site, the address of that web site (also known as "referral URL").

If You Send Personal Information

If you choose to provide MHC with personal information - by subscribing to NewsBytes, the Directory of Humanities Professionals, or by sending an e-mail comment - the MHC will use that information to register you and/or respond to your comment, as appropriate.

E-mails and Web Forms

Personally identifying information that you provide by e-mails or web forms will be used only for such purposes as are described at the point of collection (such as to send information to you or to respond to your questions or comments). If you provide contact information, Council staff may contact you to clarify your comment or question. MHC does not sell any personal information to third parties.

Links to Other Sites

The MHC website has links to many federal, state, and private organizations. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of the new site. The Council encourages you to read the privacy policies of any site you link to from ours, especially if you share any personal information.
