FIRST ALLIANCE BANK
Privacy
Policy
At
First Alliance Bank, our mission is to meet the desires of our customers
by being competent and successful relationship managers. As financial services professionals entrusted with
sensitive financial information, we respect the privacy of our customers
and are committed to treating customer information responsibly.
We
believe the confidentiality and protection of customer information, within
our virtual branch or our traditional bank, is one of our fundamental
responsibilities. And while
information is critical to providing quality service, we recognize that
one of our most important assets is our customers’ trust.
Thus, the safekeeping of information on visitors to our web site,
and current and former customers is a priority for First Alliance Bank.
First
Alliance Bank collects, retains, and uses information about you only where
we believe that it will help administer our business or provide products,
services, and other opportunities to you.
We use information to protect and administer your records,
accounts, and funds; to comply with certain laws and regulations; to help
us design or improve our products and services; and to understand your
financial needs so that we can provide you with quality products and
superior service.
We
collect nonpublic information about you from the following sources:
- Information
included on your application and related forms (such as name, address,
Social Security number, assets and income);
- Information about your relationships
with us (such as products or services purchased, account balances and
payment history);
- Information from consumer reporting
agencies (such as credit relationships and history);
- Information from your employer, or
prior employer(s);
- Information on loans we purchase or
have a participation in; and
- Information from visitors to our web
site (such as that provided through site visitorship data and online
information collecting devices known as “cookies”).
We
continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information about you
and your accounts. Should you
ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information
about you, please notify us. We
will investigate your concerns and correct any inaccuracies.
Your
nonpublic personal information is protected by physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with Federal and State standards, and we
continually assess new technology for protecting information. Our employees are trained to understand that all customer
information is private and privileged and is to be used solely for the
purpose of providing you with the finest service available. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about
you to those employees who need to know that information to provide
products or services to you and as required by law and regulation.
At
First Alliance Bank, we do not reveal specific information about your
accounts or other personally identifiable data to parties outside our
affiliated banks and companies for their independent use unless:
- you
request or authorize it;
- the
information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by
you;
- the
information is provided to a reputable credit bureau or similar
information reporting agency;
- the
disclosure otherwise is lawfully permitted or required.
We
do not provide account or personal information to non-First Alliance Bank
companies for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail
marketing of any non-financial products or services of those companies.
When
the Bank conducts business with third parties, it requires its vendors and
suppliers to maintain similar standards of conduct regarding the privacy
of personally identifiable customer information provided to them.
First
Alliance Bank recognizes and respects the privacy expectations of our
customers. We want our
customers to understand our commitment to privacy in our use of customer
information. As a result of
our commitment, we have developed this Privacy Policy that is made readily
available to our customers. Customers
who have questions about this Privacy Policy or have a question about the
privacy of their customer information should call First Alliance Bank Main
Office at (901) 753-8339.
