Privacy

Normal Website Usage

HAAM has a strong commitment to internet privacy. You can visit most portions of haamministries.org without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect from a normal web site visit is the name of your internet service provider, the browser and type of machine you are using, the web site that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time you request them. We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the HAAM site to our visitors.

Collection of personally identifiable information.

HAAM may collect email addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors when such data is voluntarily submitted to haamministries.org. Contact information from these sign-up forms is used to send information and data about HAAM to our visitors.

HAAM makes every effort to insure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies.

HAAM does not sell or otherwise disclose user information outside the organization. This policy has no exceptions. We do not sell or exchange your information with any other organization, public, private, or non-profit.

Client Privacy and Data Collection

HAAM is committed to safeguarding client’s privacy. HAAM uses standards protecting client’s personal information collected either in writing or in an electronic form. HAAM abides by the privacy rules established under the authority of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HAAM collects personal information about individuals in a computer system called Apricot and HAAM may additionally be required to collect some personal information by organizations that fund the operation of some programs. The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is one of the computer systems HAAM may use to collect personal client information. Other personal information that we collect is important to run our programs, to improve services for individuals, and to better understand the needs of individuals. In order to provide or coordinate individual referrals, case management, housing or other services, some client records may be shared with other organizations that are required to have privacy policies in place in order to protect your personal information.

We only collect information that we consider appropriate. If you have any questions, our staff will provide you with additional information. You have the right as a client to decline to share your information. For more information regarding HAAM’s client’s privacy, rights and responsibilities, contact us at HAAM, 1302 First Street East, Humble Texas, 77338 or 281-446-3663.
