Harvest ACS does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Harvest ACS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.

Use of Cookies
The Harvest ACS Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Harvest ACS pages, or register with the Harvest ACS site or sign up for services, a cookie helps Harvest ACS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Financial Risk Services Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Harvest ACS features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Harvest ACS services or Web sites you visit.
Changes to this Statement
Harvest ACS will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company, patient, donor, and other constituent feedback. Harvest ACS encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Financial Risk Services is protecting your information.
