Privacy Policy

We collect as little as possible, we never sell it, and we tell you plainly what we keep and why.

Effective [date] · Last updated July 10, 2026
Note: This is a working template covering standard practice for a newsletter-and-website publisher. Replace bracketed items and have it reviewed by counsel before launch.

1. Overview

Michigan Data Center Tracker (“we,” “us”), operated by [Legal Entity Name], runs this website and the Daily Briefing email. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit or subscribe, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this site and our email; it does not cover the third-party sites we link to.

2. Information we collect

You give us: your email address (and optional ZIP code) when you subscribe to the Briefing or set up alerts; anything you send us in a tip, correction, or message.

Collected automatically: standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics — pages viewed, approximate region, device and browser type, and referring links. We use this to understand what’s useful, not to identify you personally.

3. How we use it

  • To send the Daily Briefing and the alerts you asked for
  • To tailor which local hearings and filings we surface to your ZIP
  • To respond to your tips, corrections, and questions
  • To measure and improve the site in aggregate
  • To keep the service secure and prevent abuse

4. Email & analytics providers

We use trusted service providers to deliver email and measure traffic — for example [email service provider] and [analytics provider]. They process data only to provide those services to us, under their own privacy terms. Our emails may include a link that tells us an issue was opened or a link clicked, so we can gauge what readers find useful.

5. We do not sell your data

We never sell, rent, or trade your email or personal information. We share it only with the service providers above, or when required by law. Sponsors of the Briefing receive aggregate audience numbers only — never your address or identity.

6. Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to run the site and to keep aggregate analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; the site will still work.

7. Your choices

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. You can ask us at any time to see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you — just email privacy@michigandatacentertracker.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as [applicable privacy laws]; we honor those requests.

8. Retention, security & children

We keep subscriber information only as long as you’re subscribed or as needed for the purposes above, then delete it. We use reasonable safeguards to protect it, though no method is perfectly secure. The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

9. Changes & contact

We’ll post any material changes here and update the date above. Questions about this policy? Email privacy@michigandatacentertracker.com or write to [Legal Entity Name, mailing address].
