Our Process to Protect and Use Customer Information

• We begin by safeguarding the security and integrity of customer information. We are committed to protecting the security and integrity of customer information through procedures and technology designed for this purpose as follows:
• We limit employee access to customer information to those who have a business reason to know this information. We have strict internal policies against unauthorized use or disclosure of customer information. We emphasize the importance of confidentiality through our Code of Conduct, employee training, and operating procedures. Employees are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to follow our Code of Conduct and/or fail to fulfill our customer confidentiality standards.
• We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that meet or exceed federal standards regarding the protection of our customers' information. Our policies and procedures cover the proper physical security of workplaces and records.
• We require independent contractors and outside companies who work with us to adhere to strict privacy standards through their contracts with us.
• We use technological means , such as backup files, virus detection and eradication software, firewalls, and other computer software and hardware, to protect against unauthorized access or alterations to customer data.

We collect and maintain customer information as part of servicing your account and your customer relationship. While serving you, we collect information about you from a variety of sources, such as:

• Information you provide to us on applications or forms, such as your name and address and accounts with others.
• Information we receive from an outside company, such as a credit bureau or title/settlement company.

The customer information we collect is used to serve your accounts and meet your financial needs. Information may be used within TSIT , as well as with authorized third parties as described herein, for a number of purposes, such as:

• To protect your account from unauthorized access or identity theft.
• To process your requests, such as loan applications.
• To service your accounts by providing ongoing customer support.
• To keep you informed about financial services of interest to you.

We do not share information with outside parties who may wish to market their products to you. We may disclose the information we collect, as described below, with non-affiliated third parties that are acting on our behalf, including:
Companies that perform support services for us, such as data processors, systems consultants and programmers, or companies that help us market TSIT products and services to you. We may also share certain information with companies that help us conduct surveys or marketing research.
However, we will not share information with any company that does not agree to keep your information confidential. We carefully select the third-party companies we work with, and any information that is shared is always subject to strict confidentiality agreement(s). Moreover, it is a violation of federal law for a third party to reuse customer information received from us unless that information is also publicly available elsewhere.
There are other situations when we may disclose to third parties the customer information we collect as permitted or required by law. Third parties could include government entities, courts or other entities (in response to subpoenas and other legal processes), and those with whom you have requested us to share information.
