Sites: When you visit our sites, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, web server logs, session replay and screen capture technology, and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information we collect in this manner may include your device IP address, unique device identifier, web browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, clickstream data, and dates and times of website visits.

We also may use session replay and screen capture technology to collect, on a real-time basis, information on how you use and navigate the sites. This may include mouse movements, how you scroll through the sites, and certain keystroke information.

Mobile Apps: When you use our Mobile Apps, we also may collect certain information by automated means, such as through device logs, server logs and other technologies. The information we collect in this manner may include the device type used, the mobile operating system, device identifiers and similar unique identifiers, device settings and configurations, IP addresses, WiFi network identifiers and signals, battery and signal strength, usage statistics, referring emails and web addresses, dates and times of usage, actions taken on the Mobile Apps, and other information regarding use of the Mobile Apps. In addition, as indicated above, we may collect your device’s geolocation information with your consent which assists us with the security of the products and services and assists us with offering features like search results for branch and ATM locations, credit card controls, and messages based on your general location. Please note that if you decline to allow the Mobile Apps to collect your fine or precise geolocation, you may not be able to use all of the Mobile Apps’ features or the offers available through the Mobile Apps.

We may use these automated technologies on our Online Services to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and usage patterns. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with our Online Services; (3) tailor the Online Services around your preferences; (4) measure the usability of our Online Services and the effectiveness of our communications; and (5) otherwise manage and enhance our products and services, and help ensure they are working properly.

Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without these technologies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Online Services. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.

As part of our ongoing efforts to protect your information, we may place a private key on your device to help us identify the device as belonging to you. The use of a private key on your device assists you in conducting your online banking transactions.
