At BIT, we value the trust that our clients and their account holders
place in us. We are committed to protecting the personal privacy
of individuals that visit our web site and use our products and
services.
The purpose of our Privacy Policy is to protect the privacy and

the interests of our clients' account holders. We pledge that we
will take the steps necessary to protect the privacy of all information
shared with our company in the course of fulfilling your business

Use of Cookies
Some areas of our website may use cookies. When we do set a cookie,
it contains information we need for security, and allows us to 'time
out' your authority to view certain information, or tell us what
information we should give you on this visit. We place the cookie
with instructions that it can only be sent to a server in our domain.
A cookie cannot be used to extract data from your PC. We do not
store any Access Code, User Id or Password in any cookie.
With most Internet Browsers, you can erase Cookies from your computer
hard drive, block all Cookies, or receive a warning before a Cookie
is stored. Please refer to your Browser instructions or help menu
to learn more about these functions.
Non-Personal Information
We employ software programs to monitor and log all network traffic
on our servers. We do this for site management and to identify attempts
to upload, change or otherwise access our servers without authorization.
BIT also uses information collected on this site to help compile
broad statistical trends that help us improve navigation and content.
We use this non-personal information for internal statistical purposes
and product evaluation only; it is not shared with unaffiliated
third parties.
The information collected may include the domain and IP address
you use while visiting our site, the date and time you access our
site, and the pages you visit while you were at our site.
Personal Information
When you send us personally identifying information in an email
or by filling out a form on our website, we use this information
to fulfill or respond to your request. We may store these requests
for future responses to you.
We do not sell or distribute personal information, including e-mail
addresses collected via our eStatement application, to any third
party. We will never utilize data obtained from individual account
holders without the permission of both our client and the individual
consumer. BIT will not reveal specific information about consumer
accounts or other personally identifiable data to unaffiliated third
parties for their independent use except when disclosure is required
by law (e.g. subpoena, investigation of fraud, etc).
The management of BIT limits employee access to information to
those with a business reason for knowing such information. We educate
our employees on the importance of maintaining account holder confidentiality
and we enforce our privacy policies with appropriate disciplinary
procedures.
Security Procedures to Protect Information
With the support of VeriSign,
BIT operates secure data networks protected by industry standard
firewalls, encryption, and password protection. When institutions
connect with our secure server, we employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protection, which encrypts or scrambles your data so that no one
else can read it. The use of SSL does require version 4.0 or higher
of Netscape or Microsoft Explorer browsers or the latest version
of AOL.
