The information we gather from visitors helps us personalize and improve your experience at BHHB.net. Here are the types of information we obtain.

We receive and may store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that certain web sites may transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable their systems to recognize your log in, process shopping cart information, allow information to be retained between visits, and more. BHHB.net does not use cookies in its web site.


Does BHHB.net Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our visitors is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share visitor information only as described below.

  • Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.

They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
  • Auto-Responders: When you utilize certain features of our web site, you may receive a confirmation email. These emails are generated automatically by our web site software. We do not maintain copies of "auto-reply" emails and do not store the information. We do store copies of the information you send us and use it only for the purpose intended.
  • Protection of BHHB.net and Others: We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or protect the rights, property, or safety of BHHB.net, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from visitorrs for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
How Secure Is Information About Me?

Children
BHHB.net does not solicit, nor do we knowingly accept, any information from children. If you are under 18, you may use BHHB.net only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your transactions with us through this web site only. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers or a prominent notice on this Web site.
Information You Give Us
You provide most such information when you submit an Employment Interest Form, subscribe to our monthly newsletter, make a charitable donation or otherwise communicate with us. As a result of those voluntary actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, phone number, or email address. We are never in receipt of any credit card or e-check information. These transactions are processed by a third-party and are completely separate from our Web site and do not involve Billie Hardee Home for Boys. Credit card and e-check transactions are processed by PayPal, the world's largest and most trusted online transaction processor. For details about how PayPal protects the information you give them, visit their web site at http://www.paypal.com.
