PRIVACY POLICY NOTICE
Protecting your privacy is important to Farmers and Merchants State Bank
and our employees. We want you to understand what information we collect and
how we use it. In order to provide our customers with a broad 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 Farmers & Merchants State Bank employees
for collection, use, retention, and security of nonpublic personal
information.
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 other; 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, and overdraft history.
WHAT INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE
We are permitted under law to disclose nonpublic personal information
about you to other third parties in certain circumstances. For example, we
may disclose nonpublic personal 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. We do not disclose any
nonpublic personal information about you to anyone, except as permitted by
law.
If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we
will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in
this notice.
We also take steps to safeguard customer information. We restrict access
to your personal and account information to hose employees who need to know
that information to provide products and services to you. Employees who
violate these standards will be subject to disciplinary measures. We
maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
