The Information We Collect & How It Is Used
- Identifying Information:
When you complete the online Success Story application, we will collect
the following personal identifying information:
- The name of the person submitting the success story
- The submitter's email address
- The submitter's phone number
- Your school's or school district's postal address
In addition to using this information to credit your school/school district with its success,
we use the submitter's email address and name to communicate any questions or updates related to
your application and its publication. For example, we send an email to confirm that your
success story was submitted successfully. We use your phone number as a back up for contacting you
(we generally use email as our first method) with any questions
regarding your application. We may also use your phone number to respond to any
questions you may ask that are more easily answered via phone. We use school
postal addresses to confirm a school's identity as many schools have similar or
identical names. If you request that something related to the Healthy School Success Stories be mailed to
you via the school or school district office or if there are materials that need to be
mailed to you related to the program, we will also use the school's/school district's address for that purpose.
The school/school district name will be published on the Mihealthtools online map (www.mihealthtools.org)
as part of recognizing your accomplishments. The submitter's information and the school/school district information will
also be posted on this website when the
success story is published to properly recognize the school/school district and to provide other Michigan schools
with contact information should they want to know more about the success story. This contact information will be used only for the
purpose of administering the success story program and this website (including the online application form) and
facilitating communication and recognition with other Michigan schools. The information will not be used
or shared in any other way.
- Information About School Environments: Via the Success Story application,
we also collect information about various aspects of school environments that
pertain to asthma management, physical activity, healthy eating, sun safety, violence and injury prevention,
and tobacco use prevention. The purpose of
collecting this information it to provide a context for the success story. Like the contact information provided,
it will be published along with the success story.
Completion of the Success Story Form is voluntary. Choosing not to
complete the application will not affect the services you or your school/school district receive from
the sponsoring organizations.
