Privacy Policy

Online Privacy Practices

We understand the online privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is important to you and is essential in our business. Whether you are just visiting our Web site or are a current customer, we strive to safeguard your information. These Online Privacy Practices are in addition to the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy regarding transfers of your information to our affiliates and to third parties. For purposes of these Online Privacy Practices, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "Bank" refer to Main Street Bank, its subsidiaries and affiliates. The words "you," "your" and "yours" mean any person who visits the Bank's Web site.

Collection and Use of Information
As it pertains specifically to our Web site, we collect, retain, and use information that you provide to us so that we may respond to inquiries by you, process information received as part of an online survey or promotional contest, process online applications, and/or complete transactions or perform services you have requested.

We retain e-mail addresses from our customers when they are provided to us in any fashion (e.g., verbally, in writing, electronically). Such methods include, but are not limited to, when you submit an e-mail inquiry or provide an e-mail address during the Online Banking registration process. In an effort to keep you informed as to special offers related to our products, we may contact our customers via e-mail from time to time with information about products, services, and special promotions. If you prefer not to receive such information from us, please contact a Customer Service Representative at 1-(866) 563-8500. Please allow 2 weeks for your request to take effect. Once your request has been processed it will remain in effect until you request otherwise.

Cookies
When you interact with our Web site, we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web server sends a "cookie" to your computer. Software "cookies" are designed to customize and simplify your use of a specific Web site. They are small files of information that are commonly used on Web sites that do not harm your system. Cookies interact with your browser and are used by the Web server you are visiting to track your usage of that Web site and to identify you and your preferences for certain kinds of information each time you visit. This process is like an electronic "handshake" between our system and your computer; the information exchanged allows us to recognize your browser. It is important to know that cookies will not contain information that would enable anyone to personally identify you or to contact you via e-mail, telephone, or traditional mail. Unless you choose to identify yourself to us, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or registering for an online service, you remain anonymous to us. You can set-up your browser to inform you when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being set.

"Session Cookies"
Session cookies exist only during an online session with the Bank. Session cookies allow you to conduct transactions or requests on our Web site. An example is a request to see your account balance. Without the session cookie information, we would not be able to complete your Web transactions securely. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you have logged in. We do not sell this or any other information about you to other Web sites, merchants or financial institutions.

Online Security
The accounts and services you may apply for or enroll in online may require you to provide personal information needed for the processing of those accounts and services. Any time you enter a transaction or provide personal information (such as an account number or password) in our customer information areas, we encrypt it using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL protects information as it crosses the Internet. You can tell if you are visiting a secure area within a Web site by looking at the symbol on the bottom of your browser screen. If you are using Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see either a lock or a key. When the symbol appears unbroken or the padlock is in the locked position, your session connection is taking place via a secure server. The information we accept online through the Online Banking services portion of our Web site requires the use of industry standard SSL enabled browsers. Our Online Banking site is supported by a third party that is required to keep your information confidential.

E-mail Communications
E-mail is an important communication channel between you and us. Our news and information services are delivered to our customers and prospective customers via unencrypted e-mail. As stated in your account agreement, we reserve the right to use your e-mail address to send you important information relating to your account, including regulatory communications.

Inquiries sent through our "Contact Us" button or the various other product-related e-mail links within our Web site are not secure. Therefore, any inquiries from you submitted via our Web site through standard e-mail should not include confidential account information. Likewise, our e-mail response to you will not include confidential account information. An exception to this standard is the Online Banking portion of the Bank's Web site, which provides a secure contact feature and enables the user to send and receive messages securely and confidentially through that portion of the Web site itself. You may also contact us by phone, U.S. mail, or by visiting our banking centers. Please see our contact information at the conclusion of this page.

Applications and Surveys
Information from online applications or marketing surveys is collected on a secure server and transferred to the Bank using encryption. The information gathered is maintained in accordance with the Bank's Privacy Policy and used in the manner outlined in other sections of this Online Privacy Practices document.

Links to Other Web Sites
The Bank's Online Privacy Practices do not apply to Web sites operated by third parties that you may access through links from our Web site. If you would like information regarding the collection, retention, and use of information through these third party Web sites, you should visit the Web site in question or contact the operator of the site.

Products, Services and Features
From time to time we hope to add new products, services and features that you will find convenient to use. In doing so, our current procedures or practices may change, so please periodically refer to this document for the latest information.\
