agree that you have a right to know how we will utilize the personal information you provide to us. Therefore, we have adopted
this Privacy Policy to govern the use and handling of your personal information.

use the information we have obtained from any other source, such as information obtained from a public record or from another
person or entity.
Types of Information
Depending upon which of our services you are utilizing, the types of nonpublic personal information that we may collect include:

whether in writing, in person, by telephone or any other means;
- Information about your transactions with us, or affiliated companies, or other; and
- Information we received from a consumer-reporting agency.
Use of Information
We request information from you for our own legitimate business purposes and not for the benefit of any nonaffiliated party.
Therefore, we will not release your information to nonaffiliated parties except: (1) as necessary for us to provide the product or

we collect, as described above to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf, on behalf of our affiliated companies,
or the other financial institutions with whom we or our affiliated companies have joint marketing agreements.
Former Customers
Even if you are no longer our customer, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply to you.
Confidentiality and Security
We will use our best efforts to ensure that no unauthorized parties have access to any of your information. We restrict access to
nonpublic personal information about you to those individuals and entities who need to know that information to provide products
or services to you. We will use our best efforts to train and oversee our employees and agents to ensure that your information will
be handled responsibly and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We currently maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information.
