Applications, forms, and other information that you provide to us, whether through this site, in writing, in person, by telephone, electronically or by any other means;
Your transactions with us.

Security Practices
We take steps to safeguard customer information. We restrict access to the personal and account information of our customers to those employees who need to know that information in the course of their job responsibilities. We maintain physical and electronic safeguards to protect customer information.

We use firewalls to protect our systems from entry by anyone without proper authorization. A firewall is a security mechanism that regulates the data going in and out of a network or computer. It is a commonly used, specialized computer, network device, or program that acts as a shield against data going in or out of a network or computer. It checks to make sure that communications only occur between approved individuals and that the communication is in the proper protocol.

Protect Yourself from Fraudulent (Phishing) Web Sites
Personal information shared over the Internet can be used to commit fraud. One common method is for thieves to create a web site using a name that is similar to that of a reputable business, for instance by using a common misspelling of the company's name. The intent is to lure you into clicking onto the copycat web site and giving your personal information, including your account number and password. We caution you to make sure of whom you are dealing with over the Internet and to understand what will be done with your information. Always check that you have typed the correct web site address before entering personal information onto a site.

Former Customers
Even if you are no longer a customer, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply to you.
