RESPECT OF RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Other data is developed by Stockmens National Bank as a function of providing a product or service to a customer. Still other information is obtained from outside sources. We will limit the use and collection of information about our customers to that which is necessary to administer our business, provide superior service, and offer opportunities that we think will be of interest to our customers. This means that we will use information to help us identify products and services that we believe customers might want to know about. We will use this information only in accordance with the principles set out in this Policy.
MAINTENANCE OF ACCURATE INFORMATION
We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information about you and your accounts. Should you ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information, please notify us. We will investigate your concerns and correct any inaccuracies.
LIMITATIONS ON EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO INFORMATION
At Stockmens National Bank, employee access to personally identifiable customer information is limited to those with a business reason to know such information.
