Consumer Privacy Policy

Elsewhere Bank Consumer Privacy Policy

Protecting the privacy of consumer information held by “financial institutions” is at the heart of the financial privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999. The GLB Act requires companies to give consumers privacy notices that explain the institutions’ information-sharing practices. In turn, consumers have the right to limit some – but not all – sharing of their information.

FACTS
WHAT DOES ELSEWHERE BANK DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Why?
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
What?
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:

  • Social Security number and employment information
  • Account balances and transaction history
  • Credit history and investment experience

When you are no longer our customer we continue to share your information as described in this notice

How?
All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons Elsewhere Bank chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.

What we do
How does Elsewhere Bank protect my personal information? To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
How does Elsewhere Bank collect my personal information? We collect your personal information, for example, when you:

  • Open an account or make deposits or withdrawals from your accounts
  • Apply for a loan or use your credit or debit card
  • Seek advice about your investment

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

Why can’t I limit all sharing? Federal law gives you the right to limit only:

  • Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes — information about your creditworthiness
  • Affiliates from using your information to market to you
  • Sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
