Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

MICHI ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Stay Buddy Inc. We collect information you provide directly when you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter, including your name and email address. We also automatically collect technical data via Google Analytics — including IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring URLs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to deliver and improve our content, send newsletters to opted-in subscribers, analyze site traffic, and respond to enquiries. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies

MICHI uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality. We use session cookies, persistent analytics cookies, and — where advertising is served — third-party advertising cookies as described in the next section.

MICHI is supported by advertising. We work with Google, as a third-party vendor, to serve ads on this site.

• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure advertising on MICHI.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of participating third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices.
• MICHI does not share your name, email address, or any information you submit to us with advertisers.
