We will aim to limit access to information about our customers to those authorized individuals who have a legitimate need to know.

Online Privacy Principles
You don’t want any of your personal information to fall into the wrong hands, whether electronically or otherwise. Neither do we.

There are several opportunities on our websites for you to provide us with information about yourself, including your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and other information that may be required to render the services you select online.

When you visit one of our websites, we may also collect and store information about your visit on a semi-anonymous, aggregate basis.

As related to our collection of semi-anonymous aggregate usage data, and as related to our use of cookie technology, our websites do not currently support the use of any web-browsers’ “Do Not Track” settings. Use of these settings in your browser, or any other technical means used to communicate such preferences, will not alter or affect the functionality of our websites. We will still collect the semi-anonymous aggregate data about your use of our websites and we will still utilize cookie technology to enable your website session.

In the process of providing online services to you via our websites, we may transfer or link your session to a third-party website to provide selected services or functions. These third parties are our business partners and their websites have been qualified to support the privacy and security of your information in an equivalent manner to our own websites. We do not permit these third-parties to collect personal information from you for the purpose of either selling or marketing through other organizations. Any session transfers or links provided are for the sole purpose of enabling and providing the online services that you have selected. Such third party website providers may also perform aggregate usage tracking or they may utilize cookie technology for the purpose of improving your website experience.

We will never sell confidential or non-public personal information about your accounts to any other company. From time to time, however, we may learn of reputable outside companies offering products or services that we believe could benefit you. We may share limited information, such as your name, address, and telephone number, with such companies. You can be certain that we share only with businesses which abide by our policies.

We use advanced technology to protect electronic customer information. We guard the privacy of data sent to and from our websites. In addition to the security and privacy standards we employ for traditional banking, we use specific controls to identify and authenticate all our online customers and to detect and prevent unauthorized access to our websites.

At any time, you may ask us to modify any information you have earlier provided. You may also direct us not to share your personal information among affiliates or with other external business partners and/or to cease contacting you through postal or electronic mail or by telephone.
