Your Privacy

Recreational Sports is committed to protecting your personal privacy. We treat your privacy as we do our own.

This Privacy Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for our website. The statement outlines the information we may collect, how we protect it, how we may use that information, and how you can elect to change your information.

Collection of Information

While using our public webpages, you do not have to identify yourself or divulge personal information. We may collect general information from you that does not identify you personally. This may include data such as your IP address, the name of the web page from which you entered our site, and which of our web pages you visited and for how long. We aggregate this information to help us better focus on the needs and interests of our visitors and improve the overall functionality of our website.

As you use our website, we will not collect any personal information including your name, street address, email address, and telephone number, unless you provide the information to us voluntarily.

Cookies

When you view our website, we may store some information on your computer in the form of a cookie. Cookies allow us to tailor our website to better match your interests and preferences. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any of your personally identifiable information while on our site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all features and content of our website.

Local Storage

For your convenience, we save attributes and values that you have selected in the browser’s local storage, a small database that is inaccessible to other websites or services. We refer to this when you return to our webpages. To decline saving settings in local storage, modify your browser settings or browse or site in a private session (like Google Chrome’s Incognito Mode).

Usage and Sharing of Information

When you do provide us with personal data, we may use that information in the following ways: provide you with Recreational Sports news and events, including such things as upcoming events, newsletters, and special promotions; process reservations, holds, or inquiries on your behalf; and contact you for purposes connected to the University of Michigan or our relationship with you.

If we use your personal data to contact you, we will provide you with a method allowing you to opt-out of future communication. You can also contact us by email, writing or telephoning, at the below contact information.

We will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information to third parties, except as required by law.

Notes for our Student Visitors

Recreational Sports at The University of Michigan is committed to ensuring the privacy and accuracy of your confidential information. We do not actively share personal information gathered from our web servers. However, because The University of Michigan is a public institution, some information collected from our website, including summaries of server log information, emails sent to the website, and information collected from forms, may be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. This means that while we do not actively share information, in some cases we may be compelled by law to release information gathered from our servers.

As part of our commitment to maintaining the privacy of our users, Recreational Sports follows these guidelines:

The University of Michigan also complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which prohibits the release of education records without student permission. Although FERPA regulations apply only to U‑M students, The University of Michigan is equally committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors of our website.
