New product releases may require changes to our Privacy Policy.

Information That We Collect:

We collect nonpublic personal information about our customers from the following sources:

Our Internet financial services provider, Fiserv, also collects and maintains certain information about our customers simply to help us provide banking and other financial services to you online. They may also collect certain information for security and statistical purposes. The information collected may include:

The information collected on the pages you visit is used only for statistical purposes and is tied only to your IP address.

Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers-the computers that “serve up” Web pages-automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

Fiserv does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us and Fiserv.

Fiserv may use IP addresses to audit the use of our site. Fiserv can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when necessary for security purposes.

Visitors to the Website

Visitors to our website remain anonymous. We do not collect unique identifying information about you unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us that information, and we don’t send you a “cookie.”

Fiserv may collect and disclose general information to us about your visit, such as when you accessed our site, which pages you accessed in our website, and what Internet provider you used when you accessed our site.

You may elect to provide us with more specific information, such as when you give us feedback or send us an email. If you provide us this information, it is only used internally and in furtherance of the purpose for which it was provided.

We do not disclose or sell to any third-party information that we collect or that is provided to us from visitors to our website. We do not send advertisements or email to someone who just visited our website.

Use of Cookies

Online Banking:
When you log on to our Online banking system, our service provider, Fiserv, passes a cookie to your browser. The cookie only identifies your computer. Fiserv does not (and cannot) use cookies to collect or obtain new personal information about you.

This cookie allows Fiserv to process multiple transactions during your session without requiring you to reenter your passcode for each individual transaction. The cookies for Online banking simply provide another level of security for our Online banking product.

The Fiserv Online banking product uses encrypted cookies that do not pass to your hard drive. Instead, the cookie is stored in the memory of your browser, identifying your computer while you are logged on. Only Fiserv can read the information in these cookies. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie is destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session. That way, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account. For additional security, the cookie expires after 10 minutes of inactivity. It must then be renewed by reentering your passcode.

Information That We Disclose

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information. We educate our employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.

Our Online banking service provider, Fiserv, has also developed security policies and procedures to protect the customer information that they must collect and maintain to help us process your banking transactions over the Internet.
