Citizens State Bank Privacy Policy
Thank you for viewing our Privacy Policy.
Visitors to our Website
Citizens State Bank respects
your privacy. Visitors to our Website remain anonymous. We do not collect
unique identifying information about you individually unless you voluntarily
and knowingly provide us that information, and we don’t send you a "cookie."
A cookie is a very small text file sent by a web server and stored on a
browser so that it can be read back later. Cookies cannot "read" information
about you from your hard drive or be used to "steal" information about you;
cookies don’t carry viruses; and cookies are not programs that can perform
functions on your computer. Cookies are a basic way for a server to identify
you (most cookies actually identify the computer you happen to be using at
the time, not you personally), and cookies are used for many things from
personalizing start up pages to facilitating on line purchases. Cookies do
perform a very important function when you engage in secure Internet
banking.
Visitors to our Website have the
opportunity to provide their name and email address. Again, this disclosure
of information is entirely voluntary on your part. Other than the name and
email address, we do not gather any other personal information on users on
our Website. We do however collect and store information about the name of
the domain from which you access the Internet, such as "centex.net" or "aol.com",
the date and time you access our site, and the Internet address of the
Website from which you linked to us. We collect information on visitors only
in the aggregate and use it for internal review purposes only. This
information simply enables us to tell which areas of the site are of most
interest to our users, which avenues of site promotion are most effective,
and when peak usage times are.
You may elect to provide us with more
specific information, such as when you give us feedback or send us an email.
We would never sell information we collect or that is provided to us
regarding visitors to the Citizens State Bank Website to any third parties,
and we would never "spam" someone who previously visited our Website.
Viewer Disclosure
Our Website does not require
you to disclose any personally identifying information. If, however, you
choose to contact us via e-mail, please keep in mind that your e-mail
address, and any other information your e-mail header shows about you, such
as your name or organization, will be revealed to us in the e-mail. We
pledge, however, that when you communicate with us via e-mail, we will use
your e-mail information only for the specific purpose of responding to your
comments or questions. Your e-mail address will not be sold.
Use of Voluntarily Disclosed
Information
You should be aware that any
time you voluntarily post messages to an online Directory or Guestbook, the
name you use and your e-mail address, if you post it, may be accessed by
others viewing the Website. This may result in you receiving unsolicited
e-mail. If that is undesirable to you, you should either refrain from
posting messages or refrain from revealing your e-mail address.
Links
Citizens State Bank has a
number of links to other sites. These are offered as a courtesy and a
convenience. Citizens assumes no responsibility for the content, safety,
security, or privacy of any such site or any transactions with respect
thereto. If you have questions or concerns about any other site’s policy
regarding these matters, you should contact that site or its sponsor.
Amendments and Changes
Citizens State Bank reserves
the right to amend or change this policy at any time by posting a new
privacy policy. If you want to be notified when this page is updated,
