Citizens Bank
& Trust Company of Ardmore is committed to maintaining the privacy
of your personal information. The information practices for our
web site are set forth below. The Bank does not collect, store,
or use information obtained through this web site, except as described
below.
Information
We Collect and Store
When You Visit
the Web Site The Bank automatically collects and stores information
about your internet connection when you visit our web site. This
information includes the following:
- the date
and time that you access our site
- the pages
that you visit
- if you linked
to the Bank web site from another web site, the address of the
web site
- the type
of browser (for example, Netscape 4.0) used to access our site
- the IP (Internet
Protocol) address (an IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web) from
which you access our site
- the action
that you tried to perform (for example, download a document) and
whether or not you were successful
The Bank does
not use "cookies." (A cookie is an entry placed in a file on your
hard drive by a web site that allows it to monitor your use of the
Web site, usually without your knowledge.)
Information
We Collect and Store When You Send an E-mail
If you choose
to give us feedback on the web site via electronic mail (or if you
request additional information from the Bank), you will be asked
for your name and address and will have the option of providing
other information. If you send e-mail to the Bank, we will consider
that to be your consent for the Bank to use the information collected
from the message consistent with this policy.
If you provide
your name and other information, the Bank will maintain the information
to process your request or inquiry. Bank employees will see the
information in the course of their official duties. In limited circumstances,
such as requests from the Congress or pursuant to a court order,
we may be required by law to disclose information you submit.
Please note
that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception, and
that e-mail features in this web site are not encrypted. If your
communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information
like your bank account or social security number, you might want
to send it by postal mail instead of e-mail.
How We Use
the Information
The Bank uses
the information, both the information that is collected automatically
and the additional information that you may provide, to measure
the volume of requests for specific web site pages, to improve the
Web site, and to be responsive to user needs and inquiries. The
Bank may use the IP address information to monitor unusually heavy
activity from a single address.
Although questions,
comments and other communications that we receive generally are
not retained as permanent records, please note that it is possible
that any mail, electronic or paper, that we receive could become
part of the permanent record of the Bank, if the mail is part of
materials that are scheduled for permanent retention.
Security
of the Web Site
For the security
of our site and to ensure that the site remains available to all
users, the Bank employees have software programs to monitor network
traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information,
or otherwise cause damage.

practices, you may send a letter to Privacy Comments, Citizens Bank
