About Harrison Poultry, Inc
Harrison Poultry, Inc. is a family-owned poultry company headquartered in Bethlehem, Georgia. Founded in 1958 by R.

Your Rights and Next Steps
If your information was compromised in the Harrison Poultry data breach, it's important to take immediate action to protect yourself.
You have the right to request a free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting agencies—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Reviewing your credit reports regularly can help you spot suspicious activity early.
You can place a fraud alert on your credit file, which informs creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new accounts in your name. An initial fraud alert lasts for one year, while an extended alert (available if you've already been a victim of identity theft) lasts seven years.
Another option is to place a security freeze on your credit file. A security freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit report, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. You can request a security freeze free of charge by contacting the three major credit bureaus directly.
Harrison Poultry is offering affected individuals complimentary identity monitoring services through Kroll, which includes credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration. Instructions on how to activate these services were included in the notification letter sent by Harrison Poultry.
