Privacy Policy

Privacy Statement for MidWest Mages LLC
Midwest Mages is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information obtained through our website www.Midwestmages.shop and related digital services. It applies to all pages under our domain(s) and any contracted online services.

Our practices are governed by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. Chapter 13) and other applicable state and federal laws, including protections for private, confidential, or protected data. We do not sell personal information for commercial purposes.

Information We Collect Automatically (Non-Personal)

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information for site management, analytics, and security purposes. This may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address and domain name (but not your email address unless provided)

• Type of browser and operating system

• Date and time of visit

• Pages visited and files downloaded

• Referring website or search terms used to reach us

This data is used to analyze traffic patterns, improve site usability, detect security issues, and generate statistical reports. It is not used to identify individuals and is not shared externally except as required by law (e.g., for law enforcement or audits). Tools such as [e.g., Google Analytics, Siteimprove, or state-approved tools] may be used; you can opt out of certain analytics tracking via browser settings or tool-specific opt-outs.

We may use cookies or similar technologies (e.g., session cookies for functionality or analytics). Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Most are temporary and expire when you close your browser. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Information You Voluntarily Provide (Personal Information)

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it, such as by:

• Submitting a form or application

• Sending an email or message

• Registering for services, events, or newsletters

• Participating in surveys

Examples of personal information may include name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or other details relevant to your request. This information is considered government data under Minnesota law and may be classified as public, private, or confidential depending on the context.

We use this information solely for the purpose you provided it (e.g., responding to inquiries, processing applications, delivering services, or communicating updates). It may be shared internally with staff who need it to perform their duties or with other government entities as authorized by law. We do not disclose it for commercial purposes.

Public Disclosure and Data Classification

Under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, much of the data we collect is public record and may be subject to inspection or copying unless an exemption applies (e.g., for privacy, security, or other legal protections). Private or confidential data is protected and accessible only as permitted by law.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, including secure transmission (e.g., HTTPS encryption where applicable), access controls, monitoring for unauthorized access, and compliance with state security standards. No system is completely secure, but we strive to minimize risks.

Access, Correction, and Your Rights

You may request to view, correct, or challenge data we hold about you, subject to Minnesota law. Contact our Data Practices Compliance Official (see below) with a written request, including verification of your identity if needed. Certain data may have restrictions on access or correction.

[If applicable under MCDPA or for broader rights: You may have additional rights, such as requesting deletion, opting out of certain processing, or accessing categories of data processed. Contact us for details.]

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, consistent with applicable laws.

Our website may link to external sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. Review their policies separately.

We may update this Privacy Statement periodically. Changes will be posted here with the last updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
