Notice Of Your Financial Privacy Rights:

We, our and us mean The Talbot Bank. This is our privacy notice for our customers. When we use the words: “you” and “your”, we mean the following types of customers:

• All of our consumer customer's who have a continuing relationship with us, such as through a:
  • Deposit Account
  • Loan Account
  • Credit Card
  • Safe Deposit Box
  • Self-directed Individual Retirement Account (IRA), where we act as Custodian or Trustee
  • Financial, investment or economic advisory services

We will tell you the sources for nonpublic personal information we collect on our customers. We will tell you what measures we take to secure that information.

We will also tell you what information we share with other entities. We will explain what your rights are, and how you can exercise them. If you share your account relationship with someone else, for example where you are a co-borrower or joint holder of a checking account, we suggest that you share this information with each other to ensure that each of you are aware of our policy and your options.

We first define some terms:

Nonpublic personal information means information about you that we collect in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. Nonpublic personal information does not include information that is available from public sources, such as telephone directories or government records.

An affiliate is a company we own or control, a company that owns or controls us, or a company that is owned or controlled by the same company that owns or controls us. Ownership does not mean complete ownership, but means owning enough to have control.

A nonaffiliated third party is a company that is not an affiliate of ours.


Opt Out means a choice you can make to prevent certain sharing of information. We will explain how you can exercise this choice.
