Emmitt House respects your right to privacy and will protect it when you visit our web site. Here are some things you should know about how we protect your privacy. When you send us e-mail we won't share your e-mail address or other submitted information with anyone outside of Emmitt House staff and its contractors. We'll only use your e-mail address to respond to your requests for information. If you sign up for one of our e-mailing lists, we'll only send you the kinds of information you've requested. We won't maintain your name on the list and won't share your e-mail address with anyone outside of Emmitt House . If you use our feature "e-mail a friend," we will use your e-mail address only to let your friend know who sent the web address, so he or she can reply to you.

Information Collection at Our Website

 We collect certain information about your visit that does not identify you personally. We can tell the type of computer, browser, and web service you are using. We also know the date and time you visit and the pages you visit. Collecting this information helps us design the site according to your needs. Sometimes we use "cookies," which are small amounts of text stored on your computer. We only use "session cookies" in some places where people can transact business. That means we only store the cookie on your computer during that visit. So, if you are entering information for a business transaction, you won't lose the information if you go to another site and come back during the visit. After you turn off your computer or stop using the internet, the cookie is erased. If you don't want us to put a "cookie" on your computer, just follow these instructions. You will still be able to use the entire web site.

Site Security

 We monitor visits to the web site to identify any attempt to tamper with it. When you submit personal information using our web site--for example, if you use our apply online feature--we have systems that make sure people outside of Emmitt House cannot access your personal information. We would only try to identify you personally when required to do so by a law enforcement investigation. Any information we collect for those investigations is destroyed according to federal guidelines. Tampering with Emmitt House's  Website is against the law. If anyone tries to tamper with it, they may be punished under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
