Protecting your privacy
Protecting your privacy, along with your financial assets, is
at the core of our business. You have chosen to do business
with us, and we recognize our obligation to keep the information
you provide to us secure and confidential.
Our commitment to protect your financial information will continue
under the principles and online guidelines described below.
Keeping your information secure
Keeping your financial information secure
is one of our most important responsibilities. We value your
trust and handle your information with care. Our employees
access information about you when needed to maintain your
accounts or otherwise meet your needs. We may also access
information about you when considering a request from you
for additional services or when exercising our rights under
the law or any agreement with you.
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.

Consolidation Sites.
Please use caution when using consolidation
sites. Consolidation sites are Internet sites which offer
the ability to collect all of your personal information on
one site. For example, you may be encouraged to provide consolidation
sites your personal finance information, such as your Online
ID, Access ID, PC Password or Online Pass code for Online
Banking. NEVER PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A SITE THAT YOU
DO NOT RECOGNIZE AND FULLY TRUST.
Burgan Bank is committed to making sure
that your Burgan Online is safe and secure. With our own
security infrastructure in place, we are confident that access
to your accounts is private and secure; we are unable to provide
similar assurances for other websites. While Burgan Bank works
to protect your banking privacy, you also play a role in protecting
your accounts. Only provide your Access ID or Online ID when
your browser shows a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection
directly to the Burgan Bank website or to another site you
have investigated and fully trust.
Other.
Information may also be exchanged with credit
bureaus and similar organizations, provided when legally required
or permitted, or in connection with a fraud investigation,
an acquisition or the sale of your account to another financial
institution.
If we receive a subpoena or similar legal
process demanding release of any information about you, we
will generally attempt to notify you (unless we believe we
are prohibited from doing so). Except as required by law or
as described above, we do not share information with other
parties, including government agencies.
Certain information, such as trust and fiduciary
information, is subject to very strict limitations regarding
the sharing of information, both internally and externally.
Online Privacy Guidelines
Protecting information online
Whether you are a current customer or just
visiting us online, we safeguard the information you provide
to us at www.burgan.com How we use and protect this information
is described below.
Protecting online applications
When you apply online for accounts or services,
or enroll in Burgan Online, you provide personal information
that is necessary for us to process your application. To ensure
that your application remains confidential, the information
is sent to us in a "secure session" established
with Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
After you have submitted your application
online, we recommend that you end your browser session before
leaving your computer.
We, along with the outside companies with
which we work, if applicable, may keep the information you
provide to us, along with information we collect from outside
sources, so that we can offer you accounts and services related
to your financial needs.
How we handle e-mail
We preserve the content of your e-mail,
your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently
handle any follow-up questions you may have.
Regular non-encrypted Internet e-mail is
not secure. In the instances where Burgan Bank Internet e-mail
addresses are provided, these are provided for information
inquiries of a non-sensitive and non-confidential nature.
Protecting your privacy online
Whenever we ask for personal information
on our web site, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL technology)
for transferring data. This technology encrypts - or scrambles
- your account information so it's virtually impossible for
anyone other than Burgan Bank to read it.
Count on our commitment to your privacy
You can count on us to keep you informed
about how we protect your privacy and limit the sharing of
information you provide to us - whether it's at a banking
center, over the phone or through the Internet.
Please note that since we cannot control
information on other Internet sites, we are not responsible
for the content of sites linked from www.burgan.com.
