| WHAT WE DO |
How does Florida Shores Bank protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
We also maintain other physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect this information and we limit access to information to those employees for whom access is appropriate.
An example of these procedures is that customer nonpublic personal information is protected from unauthorized access by persons external to the Bank by a password chosen by the customer. Thus, the customer's nonpublic personal information would only be known to a person having, in addition to the customer's ID and account number(s), the customer's unique password.
Another example of these procedures is that customer nonpublic personal information is protected from being altered while in transmission to the Bank by encryption technology known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL manipulates the data into a format unreadable to humans as it leaves the customer's workstation. Furthermore, the data in transit is split up into packets that travel separately and are not reorganized until they filter through the Bank's router. So if the encryption code should be solved by an unauthorized computer, the agent is likely to only be in possession of individual packets which would be out of context with the whole data.
How does Florida Shores Bank collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you
We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
