We want you to understand what information we collect and how we use it.
Our Board of Directors has adopted these Privacy Principles to govern our promise to you, our consumer clients, that we will protect your trust and confidence by following these principles.
Nonpublic Personal Information:
“Nonpublic personal information” is information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. For example, nonpublic personal information includes information regarding your account balance, payment history, and overdraft history.
What Information We Collect:
We may collect Nonpublic Personal Information about you from the following sources:

If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive client, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this Notice.
Security of Information:
One of the ways we protect your information is by limiting our employees’ access to information about you to those with a business reason to know your information.

We take appropriate disciplinary action to enforce our employees’ confidentiality responsibilities.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
