Overview
At North Atlanta National Bank, the basis of each client relationship is trust.
You have chosen to do business with North Atlanta National Bank and we are obligated
to honor that relationship with great care, beginning with the information you have
shared with us. We believe that your privacy should not be compromised. However,
at the same time we want to offer you the array of financial products and services
you need to accomplish your financial goals. We believe we can do both through our
privacy policy.
Use of Information
We resolve to abide by the following guidelines for the responsible use and protection
of our customers' information:
- We will always value the trust of our customers and the importance of keeping
their personal financial information confidential.
- We will provide our customers with our policy on using their personal financial
information responsibly and protecting it.
- We will hold our employees to the highest standard of conduct in ensuring the
confidentiality of customer information
- We will use information responsibly in order to provide our customers with significant
benefits, including fraud prevention, improved products and services, and to comply with laws.
- We will establish procedures to maintain accurate information and respond in a timely manner
to our customers' request to change or correct information.
- We will use a combination of safeguards to protect our customers against the criminal use of
their information and to prevent unauthorized access to it.
- We will not sell any type of personal financial information to any organization for use in a
telemarketing or direct mail campaign.
At North Atlanta National Bank, we believe the confidentiality and protection of client information
is one of our fundamental responsibilities. And while information is crucial to providing quality
service, we recognize that our most important asset is our customers' trust. Thus, the safekeeping
of client information is a priority for North Atlanta National Bank.
We collect, retain, and use information about you only where we reasonably believe that it will help
administer our business or provide products, services, and other opportunities to you. We collect and
retain information about you only for specific business purposes and we will tell you why we are collecting
and retaining it upon your request. We use information to protect and administer your records, accounts,
and funds; to comply with certain laws and regulations; to help us design or improve our products and services;
and to understand your financial needs so that we can provide you with quality products and superior service.
Accuracy and Timeliness
North Atlanta National Bank has established procedures to ensure that your financial information is accurate,
current, and complete, in keeping with reasonable commercial standards. We also pledge to respond to requests
to correct inaccurate information in a timely manner.
Code of Conduct and Security Standards
Each North Atlanta National Bank employee is required to follow our organization's Code of Conduct, which states
that all client information is considered private and privileged and is to be used solely for the purpose of providing
you with the finest service available. Also, we safeguard information according to established security standards and
procedures, and we continually assess new technology for protecting information, including through the Internet. Our
employees are trained to understand and comply with these information principles.
We do not reveal specific information about your accounts or other personally identifiable data to parties outside our
bank for their independent use unless: 1) you request or authorize it; 2) the information is provided to help complete a
transaction initiated by you; 3) the information is provided to a reputable credit bureau or similar information reporting
agency; or 4) the disclosure otherwise is lawfully permitted or required. We do not provide account or personal information
to other companies for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing of any of their products or services.
Protecting Your Privacy
Finally, privacy is a partnership, and clients can take steps to keep their personal information secure:
- Never give out your social security number or personal credit information over the phone unless you initiate the call.
- Tear up or shred receipts, bank statements, and unused credit card offers.
- Keep track of your mail. If a statement, check, or bill is missing, someone may have changed your billing address.
Don't mail bills from your own mailbox-drop them in a post box or the post office.
- Review your credit report annually and report and correct mistakes.
- Make sure you do business with reputable companies, especially on the Internet.
- Keep your browser's padlock or key icon active when doing business online.
- Do not open email from unknown sources.
- Use virus detection software.
- Protect your PINs and passwords. Change them often and use a combination of letters and numbers.
- Report any suspected fraud immediately by notifying the fraud divisions of one of the three major
credit bureaus: Trans Union 1-800-916-8800; Experian 1-800-301-7195; Equifax 1-800-525-6285.
