SUTTON STATE BANK recognizes the importance of our responsibility in protecting our members' private information. We want to protect the personal and financial information that you have entrusted to us. Therefore, we have developed the following privacy policy and approach that respects and addresses your needs. We believe that all personal and financial information specific to you that you provide to the bank through any channel constitutes personal information.
Collection of Personal Information
When you apply for a bank account or service, we collect personal information in order to process your application. This information may be retained by us so that we can provide the products and services you request.
Use and Sharing of Personal Information
The bank will use personal information as appropriate in the normal course of our business to provide the products and services you requested. We will also use this information to provide positive identification of you when you contact us.
We will not disclose information to third parties (excluding bank affiliates) concerning your account with us, except: (a) when such disclosure is necessary to complete the transactions; (b) to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party (such as a credit bureau) as is permitted by law; (c) to comply with any court order or applicable laws or regulations; or (d) when you give us your written permission.
The bank does not and will not sell or provide personal information to third parties for independent use. We may, however, share personal information with our bank affiliates if that information is required to provide a product or service you have requested.
Accuracy of Personal Information
The bank intends to exercise reasonable procedures in order to assume the accuracy of our records and your personal information. Inaccurate information, when brought to our attention, will be corrected as promptly as possible. If you have any questions regarding the accuracy of your personal information, please contact a bank representative. We will investigate your issue and update your records as needed.
We request that you keep your personal information as current as possible so that you may get the maximum benefit from the bank. In particular, please make sure that you inform us of any e-mail address change so that we may communicate with you.
Protection of Personal Information
Protecting your privacy is an ongoing process. We will continue to review the measures we take to safeguard your personal information. These reviews will result in new measures to protect member records, as the bank makes changes to its information security practices and other internal control systems to take advantage of new technology. |
