Privacy Policy

Effective May 20, 2013

At Michigan Teachers, we value and respect your privacy. We recognize that personal privacy is important and that you’ve placed trust in our responsibility to protect your privacy. As a part of our commitment to you, we’ve outlined how we use your personal information on our web site below.

Information we collect and how we use it

Michigan Teachers collects personal information provided by you when you complete an online application, when you register an account, when you request more information from us, submitting payment online, and when you submit documentation to us, such as the “I Got a Job” form. Michigan Teachers may combine information about you with information we receive from the State of Michigan, Michigan Department of Education (MDE), and Michigan state-approved testing vendors.

When you submit an application to us, we ask for information such as your name, e-mail address, birth date, ZIP code, employment history, gender, ethnicity, Social Security number, personal interests, educational background, and phone numbers. This information is used solely to determine your eligibility for our Educator Preparation Program (EPP), to provide required demographic information to the Michigan MDE, and to maintain our records should you be admitted to the EPP program.

Michigan Teachers automatically recognizes and stores information from your web browsing session including the domain name, aggregate non-personal information on what pages you visit or access, information volunteered by you, such as preferences, survey information, and our online application. When you are registered on our web site and are signed into your account, you are not anonymous to us.

The information we collect is used to improve the experience on our web site, to customize the content and layout of pages you visit, and to contact you for purposes related to our EPP program or in response to a request for contact.

In addition, visitors to this web site are tracked through Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc. to analyze aggregate usage data. This data is used to improve and optimize our web site and is not used for marketing purposes and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policies.

Choices for personal information

Information sharing and disclosure

Your personal information may be shared with agents or contractors who assist in providing support for our internal operations, disclosed when legally required to do so at the request of governmental authorities to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our web site and applicable laws, and to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our web site. We share information with the Michigan MDDOE for official licensure purposes. Michigan Teachers may share your information with our parent company, Teachers of Tomorrow, in order to enhance our services to further your educational and professional goals. Michigan Teachers does not share your information with other organizations for commercial purposes.

Michigan Teachers may also share your personal information with MDE-approved schools and districts requesting candidates for employment should you meet the criteria specified and are eligible for hire.

We may share aggregated, non-personal information with others; however such information does not identify you individually.

Should Michigan Teachers be acquired by or merged with another company, we will transfer information about you. Michigan Teachers will notify you before any information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
