Privacy Policy
Regardless of changes in technology and information, Maynard Savings Bank remains
committed to the principles of customer privacy. We understand that when you open an
account or apply for a loan with us we ask you to provide us with private financial and
personal information.
We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality and accuracy
of that information, and to using the information in manners consistent with the
confidence you have shown us. We will uphold both the letter and spirit of the federal and
state laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Right to Financial Privacy Act.
This Customer Privacy Statement outlines our commitment to your financial privacy.
Information Collection
When you become a customer of Maynard Savings Bank, it is necessary for us to collect and
maintain information about you for a variety of reasons. We do this so that we can better
understand your unique financial needs. With this information we can provide you with the
products and services that you need and deserve. However, your privacy is considered in
all aspects of our business.
We also use our customer information to stay on the leading edge
of financial service innovation. When we understand how you manage your finances, we can
create new products and improve current ones. Our goal is to provide you with the
financial management tools you need to achieve your financial goals.
Sometimes we gather information from our customers because we are
required to by laws and banking regulations. For example, federal regulations require us
to obtain your taxpayer identification number (usually your Social Security number)
whenever you open an account that pays interest.
One of the most important reasons we collect and maintain
customer information is actually to maintain your privacy and security of your accounts at
our bank. Keeping your financial information secure is one of our most important
responsibilities. The more we know about you, the more tools we have to prevent someone
from impersonating you to obtain access to your account information or assets.
Employee Access
We value your trust and handle your information with care. To ensure we keep your trust,
our employees may not use confidential information acquired in the course of employment
regarding our customers or prospective customers except solely to perform their duties as
employees of Maynard Savings Bank. Our employees access information about you when needed
to maintain your accounts and otherwise meet your needs. We safeguard information
according to established security standards and procedures, and we continually assess new
technology for protecting information. Our employees are trained to understand and comply
with these information principles.
Accuracy of Information
Keeping your account information accurate and up to date is very important. If you ever
find that our records are incomplete, inaccurate or not current, please call the telephone
number provided on your account statement. We will correct the information as quickly as
possible.
How and Why Information is Shared
You can rest assured that we limit who receives information and what type of information
is shared. We share information only for legitimate business purposes, with the goal of
bringing you greater convenience and more choices.
When Maynard Savings Bank in a
Fiduciary Capacity
When we serve in a legally recognized fiduciary capacity, such as a trustee of a trust or
the personal representative of an estate, no customer information arising from the
fiduciary relationship is shared with other divisions or other legal entities within the
Maynard Savings Bank organization without the express consent of the customer. Fiduciary
relationships by law require an even higher degree of confidentiality and privacy than
general banking relationships.
Sharing Information with Companies That Work for Us
To assist us in offering you services, we may occasionally share information with outside
companies that work for us. Such companies might, for example, assist us in offering you
certain products and services. These companies act on our behalf and are obligated to keep
the information that we provide to them confidential. We do not sell lists of our
customer information to parties, including government agencies for solicitation, marketing
or similar purposes.
Sharing Customer Information with Others
You have our assurance that we only share customer information with those outside the
Maynard Savings Bank family in a manner as lawfully permitted or required. However, you
should be aware that there may be occasions where we are legally required to disclose
information about you, such as in response to a subpoena, to prevent fraud, or to comply
with a governmental agency or federal regulator. As other financial institutions
customarily do, we may also share information about you and your accounts with reputable
credit reporting agencies as authorized under federal law.
Sometimes it may be necessary to share limited customer
information in order to complete a transaction that you have initiated with our bank. We
may also provide information when you have specifically requested or authorized the
release of information.
Protection of Information
Maynard Savings Bank is committed to the security of your financial and personal
information. All of our operational and data processing systems are in a secure
environment that protects your account information from unauthorized third party access.
We maintain and grant access to these systems only in accordance with internal security
policies and standards.
Removal from Lists or Correction of Inaccurate Information
While it may mean you might not receive product information of interest to you, you may
request that we not share information we have received about you with others in the
Maynard Savings Bank family. This would include information we have received as part of an
application for products or services, as well as information we have received from a
consumer credit reporting agency or other third party. As allowed under the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, we would still be allowed to share information that relates to our direct
experience with you and your account history with us.
If you would like to make such a request, please write to us at
the following address. You may also use this address to notify us of any corrections you
think should be made in the information we have about you and your accounts with us. In
all correspondence, please include your name, address, telephone number, social security
number, and any account numbers you have with us.
