The Bank is taking the following steps to insure the privacy and accuracy of the information collected from or about you. Ensuring your financial privacy is of vital importance to the Bank and its employees.

The bank endeavors to maintain the most accurate and up to date customer records possible. If you find that your account information is not correct, current, or complete, please call or write to the Bank at the telephone number or address on your account statement and appropriate corrections will be made as soon as possible.
 
Additionally, information you submit via our online banking service is protected by encryption technology which scrambles account information to reduce the possibility of access by unauthorized individuals outside the Bank. To further protect your online banking service, the Bank requires the use of an ID and password. If you feel the bank has not met its obligation to the protection or use of your personal information, you may submit a complaint in writing to the Bank. Any complaint will be handled in compliance with the Bank's Consumer Complaints Policy. Breaches of customer privacy are considered serious employee misconduct, and may result in the termination of the employee.
