CONNECTICUT PRIVACY PROTECTION POLICY
In the normal course of our business, we may request or receive social security numbers from customers, employees, job applicants and others. At First County Bank, we are concerned about privacy and appreciate the fact that social security numbers deserve special protection. As a result, we have implemented policies and procedures which are designed to: (1) protect the confidentiality of social security numbers, (2) prohibit unlawful disclosure of social security numbers , and (3) limit access to social security numbers. |
We recognize and respect your need for privacy and security as you
visit our site. When you visit our site to view any pages, read
product information, or use our on-line calculators and tools, you
do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal
information. While we do not collect identifying information about
visitors to our site, we do use standard software to collect information
for the strict purpose of tracking activity on our site. This allows
us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages
and features are most popular. The only information we normally
collect and store is:
-
The name of your Internet service provider.
- The
web site that referred you to us (if any).
- The
date and time the pages were accessed.
- The
page or pages you requested.
There
are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information.
If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms or send us
email, you are transmitting the information that appears to you
in the form or the message. This will typically include information
like your name, mailing address, email address, the kind of request
you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your
request. You never transmit personally identifying information that
you do not enter yourself. And this is always your option; this
information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to
send it to us. This information is used internally only for the
purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly
and is not given or sold to any other organization. We do not disclose
information except as permitted by law.

Information about consumers is accumulated from a variety of sources.
Some information is provided to First County Bank directly by customers
themselves. Other data is developed by First County 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 customers.
We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information

contain inaccurate or incomplete information about you, please notify
