At Dollar Bank, we take
seriously our obligation to keep your information confidential. Dollar
Bank will not sell or otherwise release customer information to third
parties for their marketing purposes. You do not have to sign anything to
get this protection. You get it automatically by being a customer of
Dollar Bank.
As you know, banking
requires the gathering of information. Information about you comes to us
through applications or other forms, through your transactions with us,
our affiliates and others, and from consumer reporting agencies. As a
Dollar Bank customer, you expect this information to be protected. We
honor this expectation with a privacy policy that provides even greater
protection than is required by law and goes further than those of most
other financial institutions.
Despite our commitment
to protecting your information as much as we can, certain circumstances
make it necessary to disclose information to others. We believe that you
will agree that disclosure under the following circumstances is
reasonable:
- To make disclosures required by law, such as on
receipt of a subpoena;
- To help prevent loss or fraud, for example by
cooperating with law enforcement agencies investigating financial
crimes;
- To meet the Bank's obligations to credit
bureaus and similar agencies, for example by reporting delinquent loans;
- To provide those who buy loans from the Bank
with all relevant information on the loans being offered for sale;
- To perform services for you or the Bank, we may
disclose information to parties who may or may not be affiliated with
the Bank to provide those services, for example by providing your
address to a check printer to print your checks;
- To facilitate your banking
transactions, for example by authorizing a credit card
purchase.
In addition, we will
protect your information. If we use others to help deliver our banking
services to you, we use strict confidentiality agreements. We maintain
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal
standards to protect all customer information. Dollar Bank restricts
access to your information to those employees who need to know that
information to provide products or services to you. And we protect your
information in the same way even if you stop being a customer.
On our website
(dollarbank.com) we obtain information from visitors only through the use
of customer initiated forms and e-mail. We do not gather data generated
from "cookies" (a method for websites to recognize whether you have
visited the site before) for any marketing purposes. Information is
collected only when required to provide a service requested by the
visitor.
We hope you can see how
much we care about protecting your privacy. This policy has not been
significantly altered from its introduction in 2001, and material changes
made in the future will be highlighted for you. If you have any questions
regarding the use of your customer information, please contact us at
1-800-242-1616.
