Notice About Security
When you visit the Online Contract Access Website (hereinafter "Website"), you can log onto pages
where access is permitted only after you have supplied a valid and authorized User ID and PIN. This
information serves to verify your identity, so that only you can access your contract and initiate
transactions through the Website.
Michigan Education Trust and Intuition Systems, Inc. are committed to protecting your privacy online.
When you log onto secure pages, we use 128-bit SSL certificates for securing information. SSL has been
universally accepted on the World Wide Web for authenticated and encrypted communication between
clients and servers. In addition, all data that you send to us and we confirm back to you, is sent over an
encrypted SSL connection protected with a mechanism for detecting tempering – that is, for
automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit. This basically means that the
data sent is encrypted and is designed so it can only be decrypted by our web server. To provide
additional protection your data is stored on a secure server behind our firewall. Firewalls can be
thought of as a selective barrier that permits only specific types of transactions through to our system.
This Website may utilize 'cookies' – small text files placed on your computer hard drive – when you use
this site. Cookies may be used for security purposes, to facilitate navigation of the Website, or to
personalize your use of the site by retaining preferences. The cookies used by this Website do not
contain personally identifiable information, and are used ONLY in the context of your use of this
Website.
To use this site you need a browser that supports encryption and dynamic web page construction. It is
strongly recommended that you have a secure browser which supports 128 bit encryption.
Each user session is set up for a specific period of time. If you do not make a transaction within that
specific period of time, the session times out. If your session times out, and you are not finished using
the Website, you will need to log on again. This reduces "the window of opportunity" for an
unauthorized user to access your contract information if you walk away from your computer without
logging off the Website.
To help ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your information:
- Do not share your Social Security Number, Michigan Education Trust contract number(s), Michigan Education Trust
User ID or Password with anyone.
-
Call Michigan Education Trust toll-free number at 1-800-638-4543 if you suspect any willful misuse of this site.
If you provide personal information to effect a transaction, only a record of the transaction performed
while on the Website is retained by Michigan Education Trust’s secure system, maintained by Intuition
Systems, Inc.
Personal information provided to Michigan Education Trust via Intuition System, Inc.'s Website is not
sold or bartered. In addition, the personal information provided through this web is not revealed to
any person or organization outside of Michigan Education Trust unless:
- Proper authorization or direction from you to do so has been received,
- It is required by law, or
- It is necessary to do so in order to enable service providers to perform work on behalf of the Program.
Michigan Education Trust and Intuition Systems, Inc. may periodically review its procedures and
reserves the right to amend them. You will be kept informed of any changes to the practices set forth
in this notice.

USE OF YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS
Your e-mail address will ONLY be used for correspondence directly related to Michigan Education Trust;
it will not be released to any other party except according to the conditions stated above.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT E-MAILS FROM Michigan Education Trust
Many e-mail programs monitor for "spam", the electronic equivalent of junk mail. When these programs
detect something they think is spam, they will either not deliver it at all or will deliver it to a folder
other than your In Box. Depending on your e-mail service and your specific spam settings, e-mail sent
with regard to your contract may be recognized as spam and not delivered to your In Box.
Most e-mail services will allow you to add "safe" addresses -- specific addresses that are always allowed
to send mail to your In Box. To ensure you receive all e-mail communications regarding your Michigan
Education Trust login, please add METWeb@myprepaidtuition.com to your list of safe addresses.
If you request a new Password and do not receive an e-mail within 24 hours, check your email
program's folder where spam is placed.
