Protecting Children Online

First Bank Financial Centre feels it is extremely important to guard the identity and privacy of children and we encourage parents to supervise their child's interactions online.  We do not intentionally market to or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.  In the event that we receive personal information from a child whom we know to be under 13, we will only use that information to respond directly to that child or seek parental consent.

Internet and Web Based Services

Our online services use features of your Internet browser called "cookies" and "flash objects". Cookies and flash objects are files that are placed in your computer's browser memory or placed on your hard drive. We may use these features on our web site or online banking service to verify your identity, remember personal settings including your preferences, to offer you additional options, enhance your online experience, and/or to improve our products and services. We also may use them for marketing site personalization, and tracking of online applications and programs. Our server recognizes and records the domain name from which visitors to our site accessed the Internet and the names of the pages visited while at our site. It does not, however, collect and store your electronic mail address or other nonpublic personal information, unless you provide it to us. Finally, we may also use "cookies" to track the effectiveness of advertisements for FBFC products and services, referred to as banner ads, that we may place on FBFC and non-FBFC web sites. Cookies used for tracking advertising effectiveness do not collect nonpublic personal or confidential information.

The First Bank Financial Centre FBFC web site may contain links to third party sites. These links and pointers to third party sites are not part of FBFC’s site. FBFC does not make any representations or warranties regarding these third party sites. FBFC is not responsible for any losses or damages in connection with the information, security, privacy practices, availability, content, or accuracy of materials of such third party sites. These third party sites might have a privacy policy different from that of FBFC and third party sites may provide less security than the FBFC web site. You should review their privacy and security policies before you share any nonpublic personal information.

Protecting Your Privacy and Confidentiality

Protecting your non-public personal information is a function of our job we take seriously.  We restrict access to your personal account information to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you.  We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your non-public personal information.

This notification is designed to comply with the privacy provisions in Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, including applicable federal privacy regulations issued as part of Act.  You and your privacy are important to us.  We hope this information has been helpful in understanding the steps we take to safeguard your personal information.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments or complaints about privacy of your information to the address stated above.

Do Not Call Policy

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the State of Wisconsin have established a "Do-Not-Call" registry and other regulations pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Action (TCPA). The impact of the FCC regulations is to prohibit all commercial telemarketers from calling any phone number on the registry without being subject to financial penalties.

It is the policy of First Bank Financial Centre to adhere to all of the provisions of these regulations by implementing this policy and subsequent procedures.

First Bank Financial Centre does not initiate telemarketing activities to non-commercial prospects other than individuals with whom we have an established banking relationship, as that term is defined in the FCC's Do-Not-Call rule and in the statute.

If you wish to be placed on First Bank Financial Centre's "Do-Not-Call" list, as well as our "Opt-Out" list, you may do so by phone at (888) 569-9909, or by US Mail at First Bank Financial Centre, Marketing Department, 155 W. Wisconsin Avenue, Oconomowoc, WI 53066-6004.
