Privacy Policy
Michigan School Business Officials (MSBO) is committed to protecting the privacy of its members. This policy covers how MSBO handles personal information collected and received from or through our websites, online membership portal and our online community.
Information Collected
MSBO collects and utilizes different kinds of information from users of MSBO websites, online membership portal and our online community.
The information we collect will depend upon what you do when visiting our sites. Except as stated in this policy, we will not collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit our sites unless you choose to provide such information to us. Personal information provides us with aggregate demographic data that MSBO uses to improve the services offered to members. Providing demographic information to MSBO is optional. This information is kept confidential by MSBO and is used for internal purposes. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that demographics do not identify any specific user.
We may ask for your address, phone number, and/or email address when you place an order for an MSBO product or service, when you complete a survey, register for a conference, or on other occasions. In each case, our objective is to have your contact information so we can serve you better. We do not share personal data, including phone numbers or email addresses, or consent with third parties or affiliates.
If you’re paying for registrations and products with a credit card, we will also collect your credit card number (employing industry standard security and encryption technologies), billing information, and e-mail address to process your payment.
From time to time, we may use your address, phone number, or email address to provide you with updates and other information we think may be of interest to you.
We collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email. We do not sell any email addresses to any third party.
The MSBO website contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other sites. We encourage you to review and understand the privacy practices of any website before providing them with any personal information.
Disclosures Required by Law
We don’t rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you have requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
(a) We respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
(b) We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law.
