Security / Integrity / Confidentiality
The following privacy principals 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.)
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.)
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 customer privacy. If necessary, we take appropriate
disciplinary steps to enforce our employee’s 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 and routinely
tested to verify the integrity of our systems.
