Privacy Statement
The policy of Lincoln Park Savings is to comply with all federal and state laws pertaining to the privacy and confidentiality of customer information. In addition, it is inherent in the banking business that we have a duty to protect the confidential and private nature of our customers financial records, and the policy of this Association is that we do so. Therefore, the banks policy is that employees will not divulge financial information on customers to anyone outside the bank, except as specifically authorized by written instructions either from the customer or contained in a written bank procedures statement. When a customer ends their relationship with the Bank, or when we end our relationship with a customer, we will treat the information we have about a customer as if they were still our customer.

It provides key definitions and describes our practices and policies with respect to the privacy of personally identifiable financial information for consumers, those consumers who become our customers and former customers. While this policy does not apply to business accounts, we do respect the privacy of our commercial customers and we take the steps necessary to protect their information.

Our Privacy Notice
The type of information we collect —
We routinely collect and retain the information we obtain from your account applications, transaction history (for deposits, loans, credit cards, etc.) and from consumer reports. This information helps us:
• To establish and administer your accounts.
(Example: We ask for personally identifying information to protect your accounts from fraud.)
• To satisfy certain regulatory requirements.
(Example: When you open an account that pays interest, we are required by the Internal Revenue Service to obtain your social security number.)
• Better understand you so that we may provide you with additional or improved products and services.
(Example: We require information concerning your credit history and your assets to determine if you qualify for loan approval.)
We do not share our current or previous customers nonpublic personal information with affiliates or with non-affiliated third parties except as permitted or required by law.
How is that information protected?
Access to your personally identifiable financial information is limited to officers, employees and directors with a specific business reason for utilizing this data including, but not limited to, promotional, marketing and/or direct-mail advertising purposes. Our employees are educated about the importance of maintaining confidentiality and customer privacy. If necessary, we take appropriate disciplinary steps to enforce our employees responsibility to protect your very personal information.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
The Bank’s automation systems have a complex set of passwords, user identifications and terminal identifications that limits each employee’s access to information that they require to properly carry out their job responsibilities. In addition, the Bank has a complex system of “firewalls” surrounding its automation systems to ensure that access by unauthorized persons is prevented. Also, the Bank encrypts all e-mail messages transmitted to the Bank from the Bank’s web site location.
