We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to
those employees who need to know that information to provide products
or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic
personal information.
Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect -
We collect nonpublic
personal information about you from the following sources:
- Information
we receive from you on applications or other forms
- Information
about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others
- Information
we receive from a consumer reporting agency
We have established
internal procedures and controls to ensure personal and account
information is accurate, current and complete in accordance with
customary and reasonable business standards. We also have established
procedures to correct any inaccurate information in a timely
manner. If you discover any information we have about you which
is incorrect, please notify us immediately.
Nonpublic Personal Information We Disclose -
We do not
disclose information about our customers or former customers
to anyone, except as outlined in this policy or as permitted
or required by law.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting act we are allowed to share our
information concerning your account history and transaction experience
between our affiliates. We do not share information between our
affiliates that was provided to us by third parties (such as
credit report from a credit bureau or employment history from
your employer) unless you have given us permission to share the
information. We share information with our affiliates so that
we can provide you with the best services our company has to
offer. Our affiliates include our mortgage company, Investment
Company, and our affiliate banks.
Sometimes we find it necessary to enter into an arrangement with
an outside company to provide support services for our company
(imprinted checks, printing and mailing loan coupon books, on-line
banking, etc.). These companies are contractually required to
adhere to the same standards of keeping your information confidential
and secure as we are. They are not allowed to use your information
for their own marketing purposes or for any other intended services.
In order to provide you with quality products and services, we
will occasionally enter into joint marketing agreements with
respectable companies to provide products on our behalf (such
as credit cards or insurance). We may disclose to these companies
information we receive from your application such as your name,
address, assets or income. We may also share information about
your transactions with our affiliates or us. Again, the partners
must agree to strictly safeguard your information, and they are
not allowed to disclose your information to anyone else without
our permission.
In accordance with standard banking industry practices and the
Fair Credit Reporting Act, we share customer information with
reputable consumer reporting agencies.
We also disclose information as permitted or required by federal
and state laws, such as in response to a subpoena or court order.
Except as described above, we do not share customer information
with anyone unless you expressly authorize or request it in writing.
Our policy for protecting customer information applies to both
former and current customers, and regardless of whether your
account is active or inactive.
Notify Us of Inaccurate Information We Report To Consumer Reporting
Agencies -
Please notify us if we report any inaccurate
information about your account(s) to a consumer reporting agency.
Your privacy on our website is also very important to us. When
you sign up for Internet Banking or Internet Bill Payment, we
will request personal information about you and your accounts
with us. This allows us to process your request accurately and
ensure that an unauthorized individual does not access your accounts.
We have safeguards in place to ensure that this information is
protected and that our website is secure.
If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact
us and we will be happy to discuss them with you.
