Do We Share Information With Third Parties?

We take reasonable precautions to be sure that nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates, to whom we disclose your personally identifiable information are aware of this Online Privacy Policy and will treat the information in a similarly responsible manner. Our contracts and written agreements with nonaffiliated third parties that receive information from us about you prohibit those parties from transferring the information other than to provide the Services that you obtain from us.

Over the previous 12 months, we have shared the following categories of personal information with third parties: Personal Information and Identifiers, Protected Classification Information, Commercial Information, Network Information, Sensory Information, Geolocation Information, Employment Information, Education Information, and Profile Information.

If you are a customer of the Bank and have a financial product or service with us, we will use and share information we collect from you or about you in accordance with the Bank’s Consumer Privacy Notice.

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except to provide you with information or services you request, deliver our Services that include your personal information, or under certain circumstances as described in this Online Privacy Policy, including:

Your Consent. We may share personal data with your consent.

Disclosure For Legal Reasons. We may release personal data to third parties: (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; or (2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others, a threat to homeland security, a threat to our system or network, or cases in which we believe it is reasonably necessary to investigate or prevent harm, fraud, abuse, or illegal conduct. We may also disclose personal data where needed to affect the sale or transfer of business assets, to enforce our rights, protect our property, or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions.

Agents & Contractors. Our contractors sometimes have access to your personal data in the course of assisting in the operation of our business and providing Services to you. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services, and/or content for the operation and maintenance of the Sites and the Services. Some of these relationships may be with companies that co-brand portions of their site and services, or that provide services to you on our behalf. Co-branded sites may have their own privacy policies posted on their sites. If you visit a co-branded site, please read the privacy policy that is posted on that site. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its limited function. Contractors have an obligation under their contracts with us to keep your information confidential and to comply with our privacy and security policies.

Links To Other Sites. The Sites may contain links to other websites and resources located on servers maintained by third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and information only and, as such, you access them at your own risk. When you click on one of those links, we will not provide any personal information about you, but may let the site know that you came from the Bank’s Sites. We do not control the privacy practices and policies of other sites. Please read their privacy policies in order to understand what information they collect about you and how they use it.

Aggregated, Non-Personal Information. We may share aggregated, non-personal information about you with third parties. This is information that is combined with the non-personal information of other users and does not allow you to be identified or contacted. Depending on the circumstances, we may or may not charge third parties for this aggregated information. We also may not limit the third parties’ use of the aggregated information.

Changes in Corporate Structure. If all or part of the Bank is merged, acquired or otherwise transferred to another entity, the personal data you have provided to us may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will take steps to ensure that any personal data that is transferred will not be used or shared in a manner inconsistent with this Online Privacy Policy, as it may be amended.

Does the Bank Sell Your Personal Information?

No. Although the Bank shares data with third parties as outlined in in this Online Privacy Policy, the Bank does not sell any of your personal information to any third party.

How and Where Do We Process and Store Data?

Methods of Processing. The data processing is carried out in accordance with our privacy procedures and policies and using computers and/or related software and IT tools. In some cases, the data may be accessible to certain types of (i) internal parties in charge or involved with the operation of our Sites and Services (i.e., administration, legal, sales and marketing, etc.) or (ii) external parties who assist us in providing, operating, and maintaining our Sites and Services, (i.e., third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, communications agencies, etc.). Still, we notify both internal and external parties of this Online Privacy Policy and require that internal parties (through employment agreements and related employment policies) and external parties (through written agreements) keep and maintain the data in accordance with the safeguards described in this Online Privacy Policy and related policies and procedures.

Third Party Processing. We assess and review each of our third party processers to ensure that they are in compliance with this Online Privacy Policy.

How Do We Protect Personal Data?
 
The Bank protects data using administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. When we use third-party service providers, we ask those providers to implement similar safeguards. However, we cannot guaranty that your information is completely secure either within the Bank or on the systems of third party service providers.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We retain personal data we collect from you when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (i.e., to provide you with the Services you have requested or to comply with applicable legal requirements). When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will physically destroy, delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
