Online Privacy
Policy for Consumers
Effective July 1, 2004
At First Banks, Inc., we understand that
trust is a critical factor in our relationship
with you. We take every precaution to safeguard
the collection, use and storage of your personal
information. The information below outlines our
Online privacy practices.
Personal Information
You will be requested to provide personally identifiable
information to initiate online services as well as to
access information about your account relationships.
We may request information such as your name, address,
telephone number, account number, e-mail address, social
security number and User IDs or Passwords. We will not
request personally identifiable information for any
other reason.
Some of our online programs and services require a valid
e-mail address in order to register and/or continue
use of the service. If you choose to send us an e-mail
message, whether from our Web site or from within our
Online Banking service (Secure Mail), we may retain
the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address, and
our response in order to service your needs. The Secure
Mail feature within Online Banking is the only secure
e-mail communication method that exists between you
and the bank. Any other form of e-mail communication
with us should be limited to requests or inquiries that
are not sensitive or confidential. We will not use your
e-mail address to inform you of other bank products
or services unless you give us permission to do so.
Keeping your account information accurate and up to
date is very important. You may access your account
information through various means, such as account statements,
telephone banking, online banking, and in response to
specific requests. To update your account information,
please request changes through the Secure Mail feature
of Online Banking or contact your local First Bank branch.
Third Party Sites
Our website has links to other third party sites. These
links are offered as a courtesy and a convenience to
our customers. We will notify you via a browser pop-up
message when you are being re-directed to a third party
site. You will be given the option to proceed to the
third party site or to remain on firstbanks.com. First
Bank is not responsible for the information practices
of sites linked to or from our web site. Please review
the privacy policies of these sites prior to providing
any personal information.
Updates to this Policy
We may revise this policy from time to time. Any
changes will be posted on this page so that you
will always be aware of the information we collect
and how we use it. The effective date of this policy
will always be posted prominently on this page.
