At BankGreenville we are committed to honoring the privacy of our on-line clients and visitors to our Web sites. We recognize the importance to you of maintaining an appropriate level of privacy and security for the personal information we collect from you over the Internet. The following discloses our Web site information gathering and use practices and is limited to the protection and use of personal information collected by us in the online environment. Your access to and use of our site are subject to this policy and any other terms of use or policies posted by us. Please note that this privacy statement applies only to this site and not to the web sites of our advertisers or of other companies or organizations to which we link. All references to “BankGreenville” throughout this policy statement include, unless otherwise stated, all BankGreenville affiliate companies, successors and assigns.

What Information Does BankGreenville Collect and Use?

The only personally identifiable information we collect about visitors is provided voluntarily. In general, you can visit our Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, some portions of our Web site may be accessible only to users who have registered with us (and who may be asked to provide certain information as part of the registration or login process). In addition, our Web servers may use “cookies” (described below) to collect information about visitors such as domain names, but not your e-mail addresses. This information may be aggregated to measure such things as the number of visits, average time spent on the site, number of pages viewed, and methods by which our site was found. BankGreenville uses such information to evaluate the use of our site and to continuously improve the content and services being provided.

At times we may ask you for contact information or conduct on-line surveys in order to better understand your needs so that we can provide you with a customized experience. If we wish to use this information other than as set forth in this statement, we will let you know at the time of collection. We will take reasonable steps to safeguard this information from unauthorized access.

Except as otherwise provided below under the heading “Who Has Access to This Information?”, when you supply information about yourself for a specific purpose, we use the information for that purpose and to manage the internal operations and security of our Web site consistent with the terms of use and policies established from time to time governing this site. Such purpose may involve the disclosure of such information to unaffiliated companies/vendors where necessary to and for the limited purpose of processing your request, processing a transaction authorized by you or providing you with products or services.

Who Has Access to This Information?

Unless we specifically disclose it to you at the time of collection or subsequently obtain your approval, we will not make visitor or client-specific information that is gathered on our site available to unaffiliated organizations for commercial purposes unrelated to the business of BankGreenville. BankGreenville and its affiliated companies use this information to help us deliver the services you have requested, or to design or offer specific products or services that we believe will be useful to you. While we may use this information to contact you or to send materials to you for marketing purposes, we will take all reasonable steps to safeguard such information from unauthorized access by any other parties. Our policy is to prohibit companies from otherwise selling or disclosing the personal information we collect (if any).

We believe it is necessary to share information with Law Enforcement Agencies in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of BankGreenville Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

Certain federal, state and local laws or government regulations may require us to disclose non-public personal information about you. In these circumstances, we will use reasonable efforts to disclose only the information required by law, subpoena or court order to be disclosed.

Children
BankGreenville recognizes the importance of children’s safety and privacy on the Internet. For this reason and to comply with certain laws, we do not intentionally collect personal, individually identifiable information from children under the age of 13, nor do we offer content targeted to children under 13. Children should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before disclosing any information online. Several software companies can provide children’s safety software, including some that may have reduced prices or other special offers.

Security
BankGreenville maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality of personal information provided by you at our Web site. For example, unique passcodes or passwords are required to access a number of our Web site services. We regularly test and update our technology to help protect your personal information. However, such precautions do not guarantee that our Web site is invulnerable to all security breaches. BankGreenville makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of our Web site is protected from all viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities and that your information will always be secure. When doing business with others, such as advertisers to whom you can link from our site, you should consider the separate security and privacy policies of those other sites.

Links to Other Sites
