ONLINE PRIVACY GUIDELINES

PROTECTING INFORMATION ONLINE
Whether you are a current customer or just visiting us online, we safeguard the information you provide to us at www.centrixbank.com. How we use and protect this information is described below.

HOW WE HANDLE E-MAIL
We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet legal and regulatory requirements. If we think that a particular Centrix Bank account or service might apply to your situation, we may occasionally contact you at your e-mail address to inform you of potential benefits and availability.

Regular non-encrypted Internet e-mail is not secure. In the instances where Centrix Bank Internet e-mail addresses are provided, these are provided for information inquiries of a non-sensitive and non-confidential nature.

PROTECTING YOUR ONLINE BANKING
When you bank online with us, we, along with the outside companies we work with to bring these services to you, have access to your information. Information is retained on our system or the system of the appropriate outside company, depending on what is required in order to serve you.

We use state-of-the-art Internet technology, supported by the outside companies we work with, to make online banking secure and to protect your personal information. The Internet banking service employs Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol (to ensure all data is encrypted), industry leading firewalls, custom designed architecture and unique identifiers and passwords. All this is designed to ensure the safety of your Internet banking transaction. You can also help maintain the security of your banking information by not sharing your I. D., or password with anyone, by changing your password regularly and by remembering to sign off.

WHEN INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND NOT COLLECTED
Some areas of our web site require information, such as your e-mail address, to enable you to perform certain tasks (for example, to correspond with us). In these cases, we collect your information so if necessary we may interact with you. If you do not interact with us and you browse our web site anonymously, any personal information, such as your e-mail address, is not collected.

We gather and analyze data regarding usage of our web site, including domain name, number of hits, pages visited, length of user session, etc., to evaluate the usefulness of our site.

ABOUT "COOKIES"
To provide better service and a more effective web site, we use "cookies" as part of our interaction with your browser. A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your hard drive by our web page server. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to determine who you are or your e-mail address.
