We may use this information for marketing research and other marketing and service related purposes like sending brochures you request and keeping in touch by e-mail. Any personal information you choose to share with us will not be disclosed to anyone outside of Allied Media, our related companies, or our business partners who help with this site unless required by law. We will never exchange or sell your personal information to any other company.

We use this information only to determine how to make future visits more convenient and productive for all visitors. We also collect browser type, access time, and the URL where a user is entering or exiting the site.

The cookies we use are elements of data stored by your browser on your hard drive.

We use e-mail links throughout the site to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. We read every message and try to reply promptly to every one. Information in the message is used to respond directly to your comments or questions. We may also file your comments to improve the site and programs, or review and discard the information. Your personal information is not shared with third parties without your explicit permission. 

Transaction Security:
The banking services site has SSL Version 3 (Secure Sockets layer) from Netscape. This provides a "security handshake" to initiate the connection. This encrypts and decrypts the data sent. The encryption is based upon technology that uses military-grade public/private key encrypted information in the client request and server response. All information is fully encrypted, such as the content of terms submitted (i.e., credit card numbers), access authorization information (such as user names and passwords), and data returned from the server to the client. Secure SSL sessions are established in Allied Media Online Services areas where your personal information is being transmitted, including online services, account related e-mail, and customer service areas. 

Server Security:
The servers are protected by several security mechanisms. First, Filtering Routers restrict access to only approved network paths. Second, firewalls limit access and prevent certain attacks. Checkpoint Firewall-1, a leading product in the firewall industry, is backed up by Hewlett Packard's Virtual Vault. Virtual Vault helps create a secure environment for financial Web applications and helps protect against errors in server software and its applications. 
Application and Insider Security:
Virtual Vault also provides strong authentication of customers and proper enforcement of authorization for transaction requests. Within Virtual Vault there is an application that provides the only access between inside and outside compartments. The Trusted Gateway also validates URL references and performs certain other calculations to prevent unauthorized scripts from being executed. Virtual Vault also has insider security application. With Virtual Vault, users must log into their own accounts and may access only the administrative commands for which they have authorization. Virtual Vault also provides an audit trail to trace unusual or unauthorized transactions. 

External Server Security:
The server must interface to the external server that is used by the financial institution for core processing, such as balance inquires, history inquiries, and monetary transactions. These interfaces are done through firewalls and Encrypting Routers using Virtual Private Network (VPN) technologies. VPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel from a router or firewall to a matching device on the other end of the network.
