At Five Star Bank, we understand that the privacy and security of personal financial information is of concern to our customers. Protecting your privacy is a top priority and we want you to know what information we may collect and how we may use it. You have chosen to do business with us, and we recognize our responsibility to keep the information you provide to us secure and confidential. We believe that all personal financial information that you provide Five Star Bank through any channel constitutes personal information. In order to provide our customers with a wide range of financial products and services as effectively and conveniently as possible, we use technology to manage and maintain customer information. The following policy serves as a standard for all Five Star Bank employees for the collection, use and retention, and security of nonpublic personal information.
What Information We Collect
In the normal course of business, we collect and use various types of information, such as information available from public records, as well as information you provide to us. We may also access information about you, such as credit reports, when considering a request from you for additional services or when exercising our rights under the law or any agreement with you. In addition, we may collect "nonpublic personal information" about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications or other loan and account forms
- Information about your transactions with us or others
- Information we receive from third parties such as credit bureaus
"Nonpublic personal information" is nonpublic information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. For example, nonpublic personal information includes information regarding your account balance, payment history, and overdraft history.
What Information We Disclose
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law. We are permitted by law to disclose nonpublic personal information about you to other third parties in certain circumstances. For example, we may disclose nonpublic information about you to third parties to assist us in servicing your loan or account with us, to government entities in response to subpoenas, and to credit bureaus. When the Bank conducts business with "nonaffiliated third parties", we require our vendors and suppliers to maintain similar standards of conduct regarding the privacy of personally identifiable customer information provided to them. We do not share, sell or otherwise make available specific personal customer information with "nonaffiliated third parties" for any purpose without the customer's consent, except when required by law, regulation, or court order, and to third party litigants when required by lawful judicial process or court order.
If you decide to close your accounts or become an inactive client, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice.
