ACS may change this Statement at any time and will display the changes here in the form of a new Statement.

If you visit this site to read or download information, we may collect and store the following information about your visit:

  • The name of the Internet domain and the IP address from which you access our site;
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
  • The date and time you access our site;
  • The Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site; and

This information may be collected for statistical analysis and technical improvements to the site. This computer system uses software programs to create summary statistics, which may be used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. In certain circumstances, however, we may take additional steps to identify you based on this information and we may share this information as permitted by law.

How Personal Information May Be Used / Sharing of Personal Information with Third Parties

ACS is operating this Site for MO HealthNet. ACS’ collection of information, including personal information, is conducted pursuant to the contract between ACS and MO HealthNet. Pursuant to that contract, ACS is charged with collecting and sharing information pursuant to HIPAA and all other state and federal laws and regulations governing protected information. Further, ACS may not collect or share information except as set forth in the contract between ACS and MO HealthNet.

Security

To protect the personal information we receive, ACS uses certain security measures designed to guard against the loss, misuse and alteration of that information. It should be recognized, however, that we cannot guarantee that transmission of data over the Internet will be absolutely secure. Due to the open nature of the Internet the information you provide may be in environments that do not have adequate security measures and may be accessed and used by persons other than those intended. As a result, while protection of your personal information is important to us, ACS is not able to ensure the security of information you transmit to us and you assume the risk of any third party obtaining that information. Upon receipt of your information ACS will strive to ensure its security on our systems.
