The University of Michigan does not sell or rent your information. We may share your student housing information with:

• Government Entities
  we report aggregate occupancy numbers to the state of Michigan; we provide the U.S. Census Bureau with names and room assignments by building when requested.
• Other Service Providers
  we share lists for John's Pack and Ship (so students can store or mail their belongings home), Grad Guard (renter's insurance), and College Products (fridge and microwave rentals); all data sharing is governed by contracts.

Personal information may also be shared when required by law, or to protect the safety, property, or rights of the university, its community members, and guests.
