Privacy Policy
Our General Policy
MISSOURI BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOME recognizes the importance of
protecting information we may collect from visitors to our site. Our policy
is to use the information we acquire from visitors to our sites for internal
purposes only, and we maintain appropriate security measures to keep this
information private. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the
type of computer and operating system you are using.
Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves.
If one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the
purposes of correspondence, online donations, or providing a subscription to
a publication, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such
information.
If users tell us that they do not wish to have this information used as a
basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. We do keep track of
the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends and
statistics, and then we discard it.
MISSOURI BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOME takes precautions to keep the user
information disclosed to us secure, and such information will not be
disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. To prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of
information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
Use of Cookies
Certain sections of the MISSOURI BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOME web
site use "cookies" to store user information. A cookie is a small string of
text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any
other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your
email address. Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the user's visit;
in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID and password, personalize
home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited, or keep track
of selections in a "shopping cart." Cookies help us understand which parts
of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how
long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site
so we can make the site even better.
Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user's
browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences
that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. If you are just
browsing MISSOURI BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOME's web site, a cookie identifies
only your browser. If you become a registered user on a MISSOURI BAPTIST
CHILDREN’S HOME web site (with a user ID and password), we may use cookies
so that we can provide personalized information that we believe will be of
value to you based on preferences you have indicated while visiting the
site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is
being placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to
accept the cookie. If you are just browsing our site and are not a
registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you can still
continue browsing the site. However, if you are visiting a site where you
will be accessing a confidential account, you must accept that site's
cookies because they are essential for site administration and security.
