Our
Privacy Policy
The following
privacy principles were established to maintain the security,
integrity and confidentiality of your personal financial information.
The
type of information we collect:
We routinely
collect and retain the information we obtain from your account
applications, transaction history (for deposits, loans, credit
cards, etc.)
and from consumer reports. This information helps us:
To establish and administer your accounts.
(Example:
We ask for personally identifying information to protect your
accounts from fraud.)
To satisfy certain regulatory requirements.
(Example:
When you open an account that pays interest, we are required by
the
Internal Revenue Service to obtain your social security number.)
To better understand you so that we may provide you
with additional or improved products and services.
(Example:
We require information concerning your credit history
and your
assets to determine if you qualify for loan approval.)
We do not share our
current or previous clients' nonpublic personal information
with
affiliates or with nonaffiliated third parties except as permitted
or required by law.
How
is that information protected?
Access to your
personally identifiable financial information is limited to
employees with a specific business reason for utilizing this data.
Our employees are educated about the importance of maintaining
confidentiality and client privacy. If necessary, we take
appropriate disciplinary steps to enforce our employees'
responsibility to protect your very personal information.
In order to
prevent unauthorized access to your information, we maintain
security standards and procedures that conform with industry
practices. These security standards and procedures are routinely
tested to verify the integrity of our systems.
