Privacy Policy
Effective date:
Michigan Faith in Action (“MICHFA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information through michfa.org, our forms, and our communications, including email and text messaging.
Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, subscribe to updates, register for events, volunteer, donate, or participate in our programs. Depending on the activity, this may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address or ZIP code, communication preferences, and information you submit in a form or message.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Coordinate events, volunteer opportunities, and programs.
- Provide updates about our work and opportunities to participate.
- Manage communication preferences and opt-out requests.
- Maintain records and protect our services against misuse.
Email and Text Messaging
When you opt in to text messages from Michigan Faith in Action, we use your mobile number to send the types of messages described when you subscribe. These may include community updates, event reminders, volunteer opportunities, and civic engagement or political advocacy messages, depending on the program you join. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Providing a telephone number by itself does not constitute consent to receive recurring text messages. Participation in our text-message program is voluntary.
To stop text messages: Reply STOP to a message from us at any time. You may receive a final message confirming your opt-out. No further messages will be sent through that program unless you opt in again.
For help: Reply HELP or email info@michfa.org. You may also contact us to request removal from our calling lists or other political messaging.
To stop email updates: Use the unsubscribe link in an email or contact info@michfa.org.
How We Share Information
We may provide information to service providers that help us operate our website, process forms or donations, manage events, and deliver communications. Their access is limited to providing those services on our behalf.
We do not sell or share mobile phone numbers, text-message opt-in information, or consent records with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing, promotional, or political messaging. We may share this information with service providers solely as needed to deliver and support our messaging program.
We may disclose information when legally required or as necessary to protect people's safety, our rights, or the security of our services.
Donations and External Services
Our website links to external donation pages and other services. Information you provide directly to those services is also subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies before submitting personal or payment information.
Stories You Share
If you share a personal story with us, we will obtain your permission before sharing it publicly. You may discuss how your story will appear, including whether it can be shared anonymously.
Your Choices and Requests
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided. We will respond as required by applicable law. Some records may need to be retained to meet legal obligations or maintain your opt-out preferences.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our practices change. Updates will appear on this page with a revised effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
