STATEMENT OF POLICY
REGARDING THE PRIVACY OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
October 24, 2011
In order to provide financial institutions with
quality checks to be used in connection with personal, family or
household checking accounts, we collect personal information about
account holders from the financial institutions that comprise our
customer base. This information includes, without limitation, the
account holder's name, address, telephone number, social security
number, driver's license number, financial institution account number
and any other nonpublic personal information provided by the financial
institution. We use this account holder information to produce checks by
which funds may be efficiently drawn on the account holder's account
with the financial institution and to generate other reports and
services requested by the financial institutions.
We understand the importance of safeguarding this
personal information and are committed to protecting and preserving its
confidentiality and security. We will not disclose the personal
information of any customer or account holder unless we are legally
required or permitted to do so. Examples of permissible disclosures
include, but are not limited to:
-
disclosures authorized or requested by the
financial institution or account holder
-
disclosures required to facilitate a genuine
business transaction with an outside party equally committed to
maintaining the privacy of the account holder's personal information
-
disclosures in compliance with federal, state or
local laws, rules, and other applicable legal requirements
-
disclosures in response to a properly authorized
civil, criminal or regulatory investigation, or subpoena or summons
by federal, state or local authorities: or
Pursuant to Federal Law and Regulation, any information provided to us by the financial
institution is provided only to allow us to perform the services necessary under this
Agreement, to process and/or service a transaction, or as required by Federal and/or State
Law and/or Regulation. Once this information is received by us from the financial
institution, whether it is directly or indirectly through an affiliate, we may not disclose it
to any person that is not affiliated with either the financial institution or us, unless the
disclosure would be lawful if made directly by the financial institution.
We shall ensure that any non-affiliated third party in receipt of this information will be
bound by a written agreement containing provisions substantially similar to those
contained in this Agreement. In accordance with the “Information Security Incident
Policy”, we also agree to promptly notify Financial Institution in the event we are under
the reasonable belief that the integrity of the confidentiality of this information has been
compromised.
We maintain physical and electronic procedures in compliance with federal regulations to
ensure the highest level of security against unauthorized disclosure of our customers’ or
their account holders’ nonpublic personal information. Access to an account holder’s
personal information is restricted to those employees or contractors who need to know
that information in order to provide quality financial products to our customers and their
account holders. We continually emphasize to all of our employees and contractors the
importance of maintaining the confidentiality of account holder records.
All terms used in this document have the meaning given them in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
of 1999 and it’s implementing Regulation P as amended from time to time.
Financial Institution has disclosed, or may disclose in the future, to Main Street Checks,
Inc. certain non-public information about financial institution’s consumers and
customers. Main Street Checks, Inc. agrees to maintain security over such information in
order to insure confidentiality of all such information to the same extent the financial
institution is required to maintain it. Main Street Checks, Inc. further agrees not to
disclose any such information except to carry out the purposes for which the financial
institution provided such information or as otherwise permitted by the above mentioned
regulation and any similar state regulation by which Financial Institution may be bound.
