The Wilton Bank Privacy Notice
The Wilton Bank (the "Bank") respects your right to privacy.
At The Wilton Bank, the basis of each customer relationship is trust.
You have chosen to do business with The Wilton Bank, and we are obligated
to honor that relationship, beginning with the information you have
chosen to share with us. We believe that your privacy should not be
compromised. At the same time, we want to offer you the array of financial
products and services you need to accomplish your financial goals.
The Wilton Bank is committed to taking appropriate
steps to provide security and privacy regarding the collection and use
of personal information. This notice will help you understand our policies
regarding the safeguarding and use of information.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
The collection of personal information is designed to protect access
to your personal accounts and to assist the Bank in providing you with
the products and services you want and need. We collect nonpublic personal
information about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications
or other forms;
- Information about your transactions with us,
our affiliates, or others; and
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting
agency.
The Information We Share
We may disclose all of the information we collect, as described above,
to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf (such as
companies that assist us with mailings) or to other financial institutions
with whom we have joint marketing agreements (such as insurance companies
or agents or securities broker-dealers).
We may also disclose nonpublic information about
you to nonaffiliated third parties, as permitted by law. This includes
companies that provide business operations for us. We are selective
in choosing these companies, and we restrict the information we provide
them to what they need to do their jobs. They are required to comply
with standards of security and confidentiality, and they have limits
on their ability to release, use, or transfer any information to any
other party. We also share information about our customers with selected
credit reporting agencies and when complying with requirements of the
law and of government agencies. If you decide to close your account(s)
or become and inactive customer, we will adhere to the privacy policies
and practices as described in this notice.
Limited Employee Access and Safeguards
We have policies in place that are designed to restrict access to nonpublic
personal information about you to those employees who need to know that
information to provide products and services to you. The Wilton Bank
also educates all employees about safeguarding customers information
and preventing its unauthorized access, disclosure, or use.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic
personal information.
You can also help safeguard your personal information
by taking a few simple precautions. Protect your account, PIN, and customer
access numbers. Never disclose confidential information to unknown callers.
When banking on the internet, be sure to use a secure browser and current
virus detection software, and never open e-mail from unknown sources.
Maintaining Accurate Information
We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information
about you and your accounts. If you ever believe that our records contain
inaccurate or incomplete information about you, please let us know immediately.
We will correct any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
