Danville State Savings Bank is committed to providing the highest level of security and privacy regarding collection and use of our online customers' personal information as well as that of all visitors to our web site. Personal information may be collected through the submission of account applications or on-line banking transactions.

Respect of Right to Privacy
At Danville State Savings Bank, we recognize that our customers expect their personal financial information to remain private and secure and we take every precaution to provide you with the same level of privacy within our virtual branch that you receive through more traditional bank delivery channels.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
The collection of personal information on-line is designed to protect access to your personal accounts and to assist the bank in providing you with the products and services you want and need. All personal information collected and stored by the bank is used for specific business purposes to protect and administer your personal accounts and transactions, to comply with the state and federal banking regulations, and to help the bank better understand your financial needs in order to design or improve our products and services to better serve our customers. Employing stringent security measures in the collection of your personal information, all Danville State Savings Bank on-line account applications are submitted to a secure administration site through an encrypted application. Furthermore, auditing mechanisms have been put into place to further protect your information by identifying which employee has accessed and in any way modified, updated, or added to your personal information.
Restrictions of the Disclosure of Account Information
The business of personal finance is inherently private, and Danville State Savings Bank holds all of your account information in the strictest confidence. It is the bank's policy not to reveal specific information about customers' accounts or other personally identifiable data to unaffiliated third parties for their independent use, except for the exchange of information with reputable information reporting agencies to maximize the accuracy and security of such information or in the performance of bona fide corporate due diligence or business matters, unless (1) the information is provided to complete a customer initiated transaction; (2) the customer requests and permits it; (3) the disclosure is required by, or allowed by law (e.g. subpoena, investigation of fraudulent activity, request by regulator, etc.); (4) the customer has been informed about the possibility of disclosure for marketing or similar purposes through a prior communication and given the opportunity to decline (i.e. "opt out").
Maintaining Customer Privacy in Business Relationships with Third Parties
At times it is necessary to provide personally identifiable information about our customers to a third party, such as a vendor or service company we hire to do an outside audit. An example of this is our accounting firm that does periodic audits to ensure our records are accurate and to further protect our customers from possible errors in our records. These vendors and service companies agree to safeguard our confidential customer information and they must abide by applicable law.
Limitations on Our Employees' Access to Information
At Danville State Savings Bank, employee access to personally identifiable customer information is limited to those employees with a business reason to know such information. Employees are educated on the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of customer information. In addition, individual user names and passwords are used by approved bank personnel to access your personal information on-line, and this provides us auditing trails to further safeguard the privacy of your personal information on-line. Employees who violate these privacy principles will be subject to immediate disciplinary measures.
