or merged with another company. In this event, MichiganSingles.net will
notify you before information about you is transferred and
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a
particular geographic area.
- MichiganSingles.net does not provide any personal information to the
advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad.
