Privacy is a Partnership
The privacy of your nonpublic personal information requires a partnership of you and us. You can take precautionary steps such as protecting your account numbers, PIN or personal identification number and not disclosing confidential information to unknown callers.
We protect your information that we collect by using a combination of safeguards. We permit access to your nonpublic information to those employees who need to know that information in order to provide you with financial products or services. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect this information.
Why We Collect Information About You
In the process of serving your customer relationship, we collect a variety of information about you and use it only when we reasonably believe the information will be necessary or useful in providing you with the financial products and services that you request from us, as well as to assist us in identifying additional financial products and services that will help meet your financial needs and goals.
