i_Tech Privacy Principles for Client Banks

Protecting the privacy of your financial institution’s information at i_Tech has always been one of our most important responsibilities. We have safeguarded your privacy for many years by maintaining standards and procedures designed to prevent misuse of this information. To maintain these high standards, we subscribe to the following Privacy Principles.

Recognition of a Customer's Expectation of Privacy

We recognize that you expect privacy and security for your institution’s financial information. Protecting your privacy, along with your financial assets, is at the core of our business. You have chosen to do business with us and we understand the need to keep sensitive information that you provide to us secure and confidential. You can be sure that we maintain the highest standards designed to protect your financial information.

Use, Collection, and Retention of Customer Information

We collect, retain, and use information about your clients only for the purposes to serve your financial processing needs.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

We subscribe to and comply with all government regulations relating to the Banking industry. This compliance includes maintaining a security program to protect your information, as well as safeguard the privacy of your customer’s financial information. We comply with all articles of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

Limiting Employee Access to Information

Keeping your financial information secure is one of our most important responsibilities. We value your trust and handle your information with care. Our employees' access to customer information is authorized for business purposes only and is based on the employees’ need to know such information about your client’s accounts. This access is controlled by your financial institution’s Security Officer. We educate our employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy through standard operating procedures, and special training programs. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.

Protection of Information via Established Security Procedures

We maintain security standards and procedures to help us protect you from unauthorized access to confidential information. We update and test our technology to improve the protection of our information about you and to assure the integrity of our information.

Restrictions on Disclosing Information to Parties Outside Our Affiliated Banks and Companies

We do not reveal confidential information about your financial institution or your client’s accounts to parties outside your financial institution unless: (1) an individual, with proper authority, from your financial institution requests or authorizes it; (2) the information is provided to help complete a service initiated by your bank; or (3) we are legally required or permitted to do so.

Maintaining Customer Privacy in Business Relationships with Third Parties

Sometimes it is necessary to provide personally identifiable information about your clients to a third party, such as to a vendor or service company that we hire to provide support or services for one or more of our products. We are very selective in choosing these vendors and service companies. When we enter into these relationships, we require them to adhere to the same strict standards regarding the security and confidentiality of customer information as we do. They cannot release or use your information for their own purposes or sell or release your information to any third party.

Disclosure of Our Privacy Principles to You

We want you to understand our commitment to privacy and how we use information. Because of this commitment, we have prepared these Privacy Principles.
