Information collected from visitors to the Michigan Boring Website is used to address the specific needs of those visitors and to provide a record of communications between us and our Website visitors. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Statistical & Personally Identifiable Information

When accessing our Website, Michigan Boring may learn certain information about you during your visit. How we will handle information we learn about you may depend upon what you do when visiting our site.

If you visit our site to read or download information on our pages, we may collect and store the following information about you:

1. The name of the domain from which you access the Internet;

If you identify yourself by sending us an email or other communications containing personal information, then the information collected will be used to respond to your message.

The information collected is for statistical purposes. Michigan Boring may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, Michigan Boring may use software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Michigan Boring will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.

As stated above, Michigan Boring does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals who visit our site except when the information is specifically provided on a voluntary basis. Such instances where personally identifiable information may be gathered are the registration for subscription sites or services and in connection with content submissions, suggestions, and transactional areas. Such information may be obtained via a third-party service, such as Constant Contact. Third party links and services are not covered by this privacy policy.

Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred, except as necessary for Michigan Boring ’s use of said information (for example, Constant Contact, or other third party). Michigan Boring reserves the right to contact a user regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service or the information collected.

Users may always “opt out” of further promotional contacts at any time. Also, upon request, Michigan Boring will take reasonable efforts to delete a user’s personal information from its database. It may be impossible to delete a user’s entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions.
