INFORMATION
PRINCIPLES FOR INDIVIDUALS |
PROTECTING
YOUR PRIVACY |
Protecting
your privacy, along with your financial
assets, is at the core of our business.
You have chosen to do business with
us, and we recognize our obligation
to keep the information you provide
to us secure and confidential. Our
commitment to protect your financial
information will continue under the
principles and online guidelines
described below. |
Keeping
your information secure |
Keeping
your financial information secure
is one of our most important responsibilities.
We value your trust and handle your
information with care. Our employees
access information about you when
needed to maintain your accounts
or otherwise meet your needs. We
may also access information about
you when considering a request from
you for additional services or when
exercising our rights under the law
or any agreement with you. We safeguard
information according to established
security standards and procedures,
and we continually assess new technology
for protecting your non-public personal
information. Our employees are trained
to understand and comply with these
information principles. |
Nonpublic
Personal Information We Collect |
We
collect nonpublic personal information
about you from the following sources: |
- Information we receive from
you on applications and other
forms
- Information about your transactions
with us, our affiliates, or others
- information we receive from
a consumer reporting agency
|
Nonpublic
Personal Information We Disclose |
We
do not disclose nor do we reserve
the right to disclose any nonpublic
personal information about our customers
or former customers to anyone, except
as permitted by law. |
Keeping
accurate information |
Keeping
your account information accurate
and up to date is very important.
If you ever find that your account
information is incomplete, inaccurate
or not current, please call or write
to us at the telephone number or
address listed on your account statement so that we can correct any erroneous information
as quickly as possible. |
INFORMATION
PRINCIPLES FOR INDIVIDUALS |
Consolidation
or Web Aggregator Sites |
Please
use caution when using consolidation
or web aggregator sites. Consolidation
sites are Internet sites which offer
the ability to collect all of your
personal information on one site.
For example, you may be encouraged
to provide consolidation sites for your
personal financial information, such
as your Online ID, Access ID, PC
Password or Online Passcode for Online
Banking. NEVER PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION
TO A SITE THAT YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE
AND FULLY TRUST. |
YOU
SHOULD KNOW: All transactions
initiated by a consolidated
site using access information
you provide are considered
to be authorized by you, whether
or not you were aware of the
specific transaction. You may
need to block your account
until we issue new access codes. |
First
United Bank is committed to making
sure that your Online Banking is
safe and secure. With our own security
infrastructure in place, we are confident
that access to your accounts is private
and secure; however, we are unable to provide
similar assurances for other web
sites. While First United Bank works
to protect your banking privacy,
you should also play a role in protecting
your accounts. Only provide your
Access ID or Online ID when your
browser shows a Security Socket Layer
(SSL) connection directly to the
First United Bank website or to
another site you have investigated
and fully trust. |
Other |
Information
may also be exchanged with credit
bureaus and similar organizations,
but will only be provided when legally required or
permitted, or in connection with
a fraud investigation, an acquisition
or sale of your account to another
financial institution. |
If
we receive a subpoena or similar
legal process demanding release of
any information about you, we will
generally attempt to notify you (unless
we believe we are prohibited from
doing so). Except as required by
law or as described above, we do
not share information with other
parties, including governmental agencies. |
Certain
information, such as trust and fiduciary
information, is subject to very strict
limitations regarding the sharing
of information, both internally and
externally. |
