INFORMATION COLLECTION PRACTICES
In regard to Delta Bank's
(DNB) use of non‑public personal customer information, non‑public personal
information is defined in applicable law and generally means financial
information that is identified with the customer that is not obtainable
from a public source. For example, an account balance is non‑public
information. In contrast, the fact that a real estate loan exists is
public information because a deed of trust is available from public
government records. Non‑public information includes any list, description,
or other grouping of customers that is created using non‑public
information (whether or not the list also includes public
information). For example, a list of loan customers that includes current
loan balances would be non‑public. Non- public information does not
include any list, description, or grouping that is created using only
public information.
In the normal course of business,
the Bank collects and maintains the following various types of information
about customers:
- Information we receive from
customers on applications or other forms
- Information about customers
transactions with the bank
- Information about customers
transactions with nonaffiliated third parties
- Information from a consumer
reporting agency
The Bank obtains personal customer
information primarily from the customer (for example when an account is
opened or loan application submitted). The Bank may also obtain such
information from other sources (for example, in conjunction with a loan
application the Bank may obtain a credit report and ask for authorization
to verify personal financial information). If the Bank is unable to obtain
such information, the Bank may be prevented from providing a service
and/or may be compelled to terminate an account or service the Bank
currently provides. The Bank may also maintain personal customer
information resulting from account and loan experience and transactions
with the Bank.

and procedures, and they are held accountable for adhering to them.

customer is to contact the bank and the bank will take appropriate action
to correct or amend the records.
If a
customer wishes to review information regarding their accounts, they may
