PRIVACY STATEMENT
At
First State Bank of Bloomington, we understand that our customers
are concerned about their personal information. Because of this,
your privacy has always been, and will always be, one of our most
important concerns. We have adopted the following privacy principles,
continuing our commitment to you, our valued customer.
Collection
and Use of Personal Information
We collect, retain and use information about you only where we reasonably
believe that it will help administer our business or provide products,
services, and other opportunities to you. We collect and retain
information about you only for specific business purposes and we
will tell you why we are collecting and retaining it upon your request.
We use information to protect and administer your records, accounts,
and funds; to comply with laws and regulation; to help us design
or improve our products and services; and to understand your financial
needs so that we may provide you with quality products and superior
service.
Maintenance
of Accurate Information
We have procedures in place to help assure that your financial information
is accurate, current, and complete in accordance with commercial
standards. We also have procedures to respond to your requests to
correct inaccurate information in a timely manner. While some of
these procedures are required by federal or state law, we have implemented
additional procedures to maintain accurate, current, and complete
financial information.
Employee
Access to Information
We will allow only employees actively engaged in their assigned
duties, as authorized by First State Bank of Bloomington, to have
access to or use your information. Our employees are governed by
a code of conduct that includes the responsibility to protect the
confidentiality of each customer's personal information.
Disclosing
Information to Parties Outside Our Affiliated Bank
We do not reveal specific information about your accounts or other
personally identifiable data to parties outside our affiliated banks
for their independent use unless: 1) you request or authorize it;
2) the information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated
by you; 3) the information is provided to a reputable credit bureau
or similar reporting agency; or 4) the disclosure otherwise is lawfully
permitted or required. We do not provide account or personal information
to companies for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct
mail marketing.
Maintaining
Your Privacy in Business Relationships with Parties Outside our
Bank
Sometimes it may be necessary to provide personally identifiable
information about you to a party outside our affiliated bank, such
as to a vendor or audit company that we hire. These third parties
must agree to safeguard the confidential information about you and
your products and services with us and must abide by applicable
law.
Disclosing
our Privacy Policy to You
We want you to understand our commitment to personal privacy and
our use of information. For this reason, we have prepared this Privacy
Policy. This should answer most of your questions that you may have
about how we gather, protect, and use information. For more information
