This Online Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to Citizens Alliance Bank and our affiliated companies (collectively, “we”, “us”, or “our”) of its users (“user”, “you”, or “your”) that use our website www.citizensalliancebank.com, including other media channels, interactive services, email programs, mobile website, or mobile applications related or connected thereto (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy outlines how we protect, collect, and use your information. Note that the Policy does not govern our privacy practices offline in regard to information that is not provided or collected through the Services.
We will use and share any information that we collect from or about our customers in accordance with the Citizens Alliance Bank Privacy Notice, which provides choices regarding our sharing and use of information. For more information on this Policy or our privacy practices generally, please contact us directly.
Information We Collect
When you use our Services, we may automatically collect information about the Internet Service Provider (ISP), your operating system, browser, type, domain name, Internet Protocol (IP) address, your access times, the pages and aspects of the Services you requested, and the date and time of those requests. This information is only used to improve the Services; you will remain anonymous unless you provide identifying information (“Personal Information”).
How We Collect Your Information
We collect Personal Information from you or about you when you provide information to us directly. For example, we may obtain Personal Information when you request information, products or services from us; register on the website or an application; respond to surveys; contact customer support; or otherwise interact with us. We will only use the Personal Information you have shared with us for the purposes as stated in the Policy.
If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or our ISP in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Policy.
How We Use Your Information
We may use and share your information for any legally permissible purpose. If you provide Personal Information, we may use that information to contact you. Additionally, we may use Personal Information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, and to improve our content, layout, and Services. Information collected automatically through Cookies may be combined with your previously submitted Personal Information. Pixel tags, also called web Beacons or clear Graphics Interchange Formats (GIFs), and similar technologies are typically small blocks of code embedded in images shown in the site, the Services, or certain emails we send you. They may involve the transmission of information directly to us or to third parties on our behalf. We may use these technologies to bring together information we collect about you.
How We Share Your Information
We will not sell, exchange, or otherwise distribute your personal information without your consent, except to the extent required by law or as identified in this Policy. Your information may be shared with our affiliates, agents, or ISP; in a business transfer; or in certain legal matters which require such disclosure.
Application Users
If you download and use an Application, we and our ISP will automatically collect, transmit, and use geolocation information to enable features that prevent fraudulent card use and send alerts, but only if the user expressly authorizes collection of such information. Geolocation information can be monitored on a continuous basis in the background only while the App is being used or not at all, depending on the user’s selection. Users can change their location permissions at any time in their device settings.
Use By Children
This Policy is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) to the extent that COPPA applies. We will not knowingly collect or retain Personal Information about a child under the age of 13. Citizens Alliance Bank cares about protecting the privacy of children and believes children should always have the permission of their parents before transmitting any Personal Information over the Internet. If you are under the age of 13, please do not engage with our Services or provide any Personal Information. Since we do not collect information from children under 13 years old, no such information is disclosed to third parties.
Linked Websites
Our Services may have links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you visit one of these linked websites, you are then subject to the policies of the owner of the linked website and will no longer be protected by our Policy. We are not responsible for the content of those websites and have no control over what information they may or may not collect from you. When leaving our website, we encourage you to read the privacy statement of any other website that collects personally identifiable information.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to maintain physical, technical, and administrative security of any information you provide to use. However, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you provide during the use of our Services. Any transmission of information, including Personal Information, is at your own risk.
Preventing Identity Theft
In order to help us protect your Personal Information, it is important that you always keep your account information safe. We recommend that you consider the risk of sharing your personal ID, password, or Personal Identification Number (PIN) with anyone.
We will never ask for sensitive Personal Information by unsolicited email, unsolicited phone calls, or unsolicited text messages.
If you provide your email address to us, or if we obtain it from another source, we may use it to respond to or update you on your inquires, to contact you about your accounts, or to let you know about products and services that may be available to you.
Retention Period
We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law.
