Respecting and protecting customer privacy has been vital to our business. By explaining our Privacy Policy to you, we trust that you will better understand how we keep our customer information private and secure while using it to serve you better.

Commitment to Our Customers
We maintain control over the confidentiality of our customer's information. We will not sell our customer's information to outside companies for the purpose of selling their products or services.
Our Privacy Policy is a priority of our Board of Directors, Management Team, and all other employees.

The Privacy Policy explains the following:

Protecting the Confidentiality of Customer Information is Important To Us

We take our responsibility to protect the privacy and confidentiality of customer information very seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to store and secure information about you from unauthorized access, alteration and destruction. Our control policies, for example, authorize access to customer information only by individuals who need access to do their work. Our authorized employees, who are trained in the proper handling of customer information, have access to that information.

We do not collect information about visitors to our Website. Our Website is not transactional and exists to provide you with information about our Company. However, our online banking system, QuickConnect, is transactional, and numerous safeguards are taken to protect customer information on the Internet. Firewalls, high-level data encryption, password-controlled entry, and filtering systems are some of the measures taken to insure privacy and confidentiality.

You may contact us via e-mail; however, e-mail is not a secure communication. We encourage you to send all communications containing confidential information (such as your account number or social security number) in a letter to us at the address shown on our Website.

From time to time, we enter into agreements with other companies to provide services to us or make products and services available to you on our behalf. Under these agreements, the companies may receive information about you but they must safeguard this information and they may not use it for any other purposes.

Who is Covered by the Privacy Policy
We provide our Privacy Policy to customers when they open a new account and annually after that. We have the right to change this policy at any time by posting a new privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to consumer customers who are customers or former customers of First Bank of Conroe.
