Our Security Procedures
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to safeguard your "nonpublic personal information," which is nonpublic information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. We also take steps to safeguard your information, and restrict access to your nonpublic personal information to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. Our employees who have access to your nonpublic personal information are trained in the proper handling of your information and required to fully comply with our Privacy Policy.
While we take steps to protect your nonpublic personal information and keep it secure, you also play a role in protecting your information. You can help to maintain the security of your online transactions by not sharing your login information or password with anyone. If we receive instructions using your log-in information and password we will assume that the instructions have been authorized by you.

AB370, Internet Privacy, “Do Not” Track Law
Existing law requires an operator of a commercial Internet Web site or online service that collects personally identifiable information through the Internet about consumers residing in California who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service to conspicuously post its privacy policy on its Web site or online service and to comply with that policy. Existing law, among other things, requires that the privacy policy identify the categories of personally identifiable information that the operator collects about individual consumers who use or visit its Web site or online service and third parties with whom the operator shares the information.
This bill would require an operator to disclose how it responds to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers a choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites or online services. The bill would require the operator to disclose whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information when a consumer uses the operator’s Web site or service.
The Operator (PAB and Fiserv) do not allow third parties to conduct online tracking on the website or online service.
The Operator (PAB and Fiserv) do not honor a request from a consumer to disable online tracking.
