This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how MI 2027 Transition (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or contact us through (https://mi2027transition.com/) (the “Site”).
“Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual. Personal Information does not include de-identified, aggregated or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you or publicly available information from government records. We may use de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized information for any lawful purpose and share it with any party.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect through the Site, and through your other interactions with us, for the purposes below. The information we use depends on how you interact with us.

- send you the newsletters, email updates, text messages, or other communications you have signed up for; and
- respond to your questions, comments, and requests.

- review and evaluate your qualifications for the position you applied for, and for other positions that may fit you;
- talk with you about your application, including scheduling interviews and asking for more information;
- check references and confirm the information you gave us, and, where allowed by law and with any notice or consent the law requires, conduct background checks or other screening;
- keep records of the application and hiring process; and share your materials with the incoming administration and the relevant state agencies, offices, or boards to support hiring and appointment decisions.

2. The incoming administration and government entities. We may share job applications, résumés, and related information with the incoming administration and with state agencies, departments, offices, boards, and commissions for hiring, appointment, and transition purposes. Once the administration takes office, information shared with these government entities may be handled under their own policies and applicable law, including public records laws.
