Device images or videos may be accessed when you deposit a check or use a QR code to make peer-to-peer payments using Zelle or other payment functionality. Device contacts may be accessed when you make peer-to-peer payments using payment functionality, such as Zelle or similar payment services.

We may collect the financial and transaction information necessary to provide you with our Services, including account numbers, payment card expiration dates, payment card identification and verification numbers, and transaction and payment history.

Personal Information Collected from Third Parties
We may collect certain information from identity verification services and consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus, to provide some of our Services.

Personal Information Collected Via Technology
We may, as well as our service providers, automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interactions over time with our Services, our communications, and other online services, such as:

  • Device data, such as your computer or mobile device operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and storage capacity, device type (e.g., phone or tablet), IP address, unique device identifiers, language settings, mobile carrier, and network information (e.g., Wi-Fi, 4G, LTE, 5G). We may also collect general location information, such as your city, state, or geographic region.
  • Online activity data, such as the pages or screens you view, the time spent on each page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your interactions with a page or screen, access times, and the duration of your sessions.
  • Cookies, which are text files that websites store on your device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings. Cookies help you navigate between pages efficiently, remember your preferences, enable certain functionality, and allow us to understand user activity and usage patterns.
  • Location Information. An IP address is a unique number automatically assigned by your internet service provider to every computer and mobile device. If you have enabled location services on your device and consent to the collection of your location when prompted by our Services, we will collect your location information when you use our Services—for example, to support fraud-detection measures. If you prefer not to share this information, you may decline the request when prompted or adjust your device’s location-services settings.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals to the websites and online services with which they communicate. There is currently no standard that governs how websites should respond to these signals. We do not take action in response to Do Not Track signals. If and when a standard is established, we may make revisions regarding how we respond to such signals.

You may opt-out of SMS communications using the instructions in the SMS Program Disclosures of this Privacy Notice.

SAFEGUARDS AND RETENTION

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard the information in our custody and control against theft, loss, and unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure. However, transmission over the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

All personal information is encrypted in transit and encrypted at rest.

Federal laws and regulations require U.S. financial institutions to retain original, active, and historical records. Your personal and financial data will be retained for a period of five to ten years, depending on applicable laws, regulations, and legitimate business needs.
