SECURITY AND PRIVACY
First National Bank is committed to
protecting the privacy of its customers' information. As part of our
commitment to protecting our customer's privacy we have adopted the
following privacy principles and have implemented them at all levels of
our organization.
- Our Customers Expect Privacy.
We understand that you expect your personal financial affairs to be
held in the strictest confidence. As a customer of First National Bank,
you have entrusted us to protect your privacy and to safeguard your
personal information. We take this responsibility seriously and have
designed policies and procedures to prevent misuse of this information.
- Why We Collect, Retain, and Use
Customer Information.
We collect, retain, and use information about you only where we believe
it will help administer our business or provide products, services, and
other opportunities to you. If we collect information about you, we
will do so only for a specific business purpose; and if you request, we
will tell you why we are collecting the information. Some of the
reasons we use your information are the following: to protect and
administer your records, accounts, and funds; to comply with certain
laws and regulations; to help us design and improve our products and
services: and to better understand your financial needs.
- We Will Maintain Accurate
Information.
Maintaining the accuracy of your personal information is important. We
have procedures to help assure that your personal information is
accurate, current and complete. We also have procedures to correct
inaccurate information in a timely manner, including processes to
update information or remove outdated information. If you discover any
information we have about you that is incorrect, please let us know.
- We Limit Employee Access To Your
Information.
Access to personally identifiable information about you is limited to
those employees who have a specific business reason to know such
information. Our employees are educated and trained on the importance
of confidentiality and privacy of customer information. Appropriate
disciplinary action is taken if this Policy or procedures relating to
this Policy are not adhered to.
- Security Procedures Protect Your
Information.
We establish and maintain security procedures designed to help prevent
unauthorized access to your private, confidential information. We also
update and test our computers, hardware, software, and other technology
to assure the integrity and security of our information systems.
- We Restrict Disclosure of Account
Information.
We do not reveal specific information about your accounts or other
personally identifiable data to parties outside our organization unless
it is under the following circumstance: you request or authorize
disclosure; the information is provided to help complete a transaction
initiated by you; the information is provided to a reputable credit
bureau or similar information reporting agency; or the disclosure is
other wise lawfully permitted or required.
- We Maintain Your Privacy When We Do
Business Outside Our Organization.
It is sometimes necessary to provide personally identifiable
information about you to a party outside our organization. Some
examples are when we hire a vendor or service company to prepare your
account statements or to provide support for one or more of our
products or services. When we work with outside businesses or
companies, these vendors must abide by applicable law. If a vendor is
hired to use your information for marketing purposes, we will disclose
this to you in advance and give you the opportunity to “opt out,” in
which case your information would not be provided to the vendor for
marketing purposes.
- We Will Not Share Your Information
Outside Our Organization.
We maintain procedures designed to protect your confidential
information. Other than under the limited exceptions explained in
paragraph seven, above, it is our practice not to share confidential
customer information outside our organization. You do not need to
request this confidentiality – it is our standard practice.
