As stated in our Promise to you, we will not share information with outside companies for the purpose of selling their products and services to you without giving you the opportunity in advance to decline this option (that is, to "opt out" of this type of sharing). We may arrange programs with outside financial service providers to offer you the benefits of "one-stop shopping" or other conveniences.

Our policies and practices regarding the collection and disclosure of information about former clients are the same as those regarding the collection and disclosure about existing customers (see the section titled Our Policies on the Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Customer Information) for a period of time after a customer relationship ends. Our information about former customers, however, is used less and less over time after the relationship ends.

We update and test our technology on a regular basis in order to improve the protection of customer information.
We require outside companies and independent contractors to whom we provide customer information for marketing, servicing, or processing purposes to enter into a confidentiality agreement that restricts the use of the information to those purposes, and prohibits independent use of the information or submitted to a third party.
We have internal procedures that limit access to customer information, such as procedures that require an employee to have a business need to access customer information. We maintain policies about the proper physical security of workplaces and records. Our physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards comply with government-mandated regulations on Internet banking security and the protection of customer information.
