Our Privacy and Security Practices

We understand how important it is to protect the privacy of those who visit this web site (the “Site”) or who obtain products or services from us online through this Site. The practices that are discussed below are intended to describe:

• The  information we collect from those who visit our Site; 
• How that information may be used; and 
• With whom we may share that information. 

We encourage you to read the following information carefully when using the Site, or when providing information to us through the Site. You understand that by using the Site you are accepting our practices as described below.

 

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information from those who use or visit the Site:

• Online Banking - We will have access to your information when you apply for or use any of our online products or services. This information is retained on our system in order to provide the services requested. 
• Email and Online Forms - We will retain the content of any form or email, email address and our response to your communications received via email for the period of time required by bank regulations. This allows us to retain an audit trail and provide you with the product or service you have requested. Because normal Internet e-mail transmissions may not be secure, you agree that you will not send us any information (other than your name) that identifies you individually (such as your address, date of birth or Social Security number) or your accounts (such as your account number) through email. 
• Cookies - We may collect non-personal information and data automatically through the standard operations of our Internet servers or through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer's hard drive by the server for the Site. Cookies are not programs that come into your system and damage files or otherwise read information off of your hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to you that has no meaning outside the server for the Site that assigned it. You can disallow cookies by selecting the appropriate option from your Web browser.
• Web Beacons – We may use web beacons on various pages on the Site. A web beacon is an often transparent graphic image that is placed on a web page. We use web beacons to collect information about the number of people who review pages on the Site, search engine referrals, and browsing patterns within the Site. All data that we collect through the use of web beacons is anonymous.

 

Our Use and Sharing of the Information We Collect

• Information You Provide to Us to Request Services Through the Site -  If you provide us with personally-identifiable information to request products and services through the Site, we may share the information that you provide to us with third parties in support of your request for these services. For example, if you provide us with information to enroll in our online banking product, we share that information with those service providers who are necessary to offer you that product. However we do not sell or otherwise make our online banking user list available to other third parties. 
• Correspondence Received Through The Site or Email -  We may use the information from the correspondence that you send to us via email or through the Site to respond to your inquiry.

• Cookies -  Our Site may use cookies to provide enhanced functionality on the Site (e.g., user ID and password prompts) and aggregate traffic data (e.g., what pages are the most popular). This allows us to: (a) recognize repeat users, thus facilitating the user's ongoing access to and use of the Site; (b) track usage behavior and compile aggregate data, thus allowing content improvements and targeted advertising; and (c) store passwords and logon IDs so that you do not have to enter this information every time. 
• Web Beacons -  We may use web beacons so that we may better understand the traffic patterns on the Site, to creating reporting tools regarding the number of visitors to the Site, and to help us adjust the content of the Site so that it is more responsive to the interests of those who visit the Site. 
• Other Instances in Which We May Share Information -  We may reveal personally identifiable information that you provide to us or that we collect through the Site to third-parties if: (a) the information is provided to comply with the law, enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others or (b) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf (and who do so pursuant to agreements with us that prohibit their ability to use your information except to provide services for us).
