Our Privacy Policy

About Your Privacy

Protecting your privacy is important to First Brandon National Bank and our employees.  We understand that you expect your information to be kept confidential and secure.  This notice explains what information we collect about you, how we use it and how we protect it, and how it applies to our individual customers who obtain products and services from us for personal, family or household use.

What Information We Collect

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; and

• 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, parties to transactions and overdraft history.

What Information We Disclose

We only disclose information about you as permitted by law.

We may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties (third parties that are not related to us by common control) in certain circumstances, as permitted by law.  For example, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as companies that assist us in processing a transaction you have initiated or in servicing or enforcing your loan or other account or agreement with us; to banking regulators and other government entities; to comply with legal process; to our own attorneys, accountants or auditors; to credit bureaus; and to comply with your request or authorization to disclose.

We may disclose all of the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform services on our behalf to market our own products and services, such as mail house contractors, printers and market research firms.

We may also disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties we may contract with to jointly offer you financial products and services, such as securities broker-dealers, insurance firms, mortgage bankers, leasing companies, fiduciary and investment advisory firms and credit card companies.  The information about you that we disclose to such companies will be limited to your contact information (such as name, address and phone number) and information about our own transactions and experiences with you (such as the fact that you maintain an account relationship with us and your account balances and payment history with us).

Medical or Health Information

We do not share medical or health information with anyone except to process transactions or to provide services you have requested or initiated.

Former Customers

If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will continue to treat your information in accordance with this policy.
