Notice of Online Privacy Policy

At Pinnacle, we take the issue of online privacy very seriously. We want to assure visitors to our site the security, privacy and confidentiality that they expect from a financial services institution. We do not collect any personal information through the use of our website.

Encryption
Pinnacle uses encryption technology to protect certain information sent over the Internet. SSL is an encryption technology known as "Secure Sockets Layer". SSL encrypts transmissions between two parties and verifies the website server you are communicating with. An "s" after the "http" in a website's address indicates that you are attached to a secure server using SSL technology. Additionally, if your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, Netscape Navigator 4.0, or a higher version of either, a picture of a lock or a key should appear in the lower right hand corner of the browser's window.

Client Authentication
Your Pinnacle password is your private entry key into your account. This is how Pinnacle's website recognizes you. You should never share it with anyone. Your Pinnacle issued password incorporates letters AND numbers. You may change your password but we recommend that you also incorporate both letters and numbers in your new password.

Session Variables
Session variables, instead of cookies, are used when you choose to access your account statements online. Unlike cookies, which remain on your computer, session variables expire at the end of session.

Website Usage
Pinnacle does not track users movements on our website or websites linked to our website. After you have finished accessing your Pinnacle account, do not forget to log off. This prevents someone else from accessing your account if you leave your computer and your session has not "timed out," or automatically shut down.

To Further Protect Your Privacy
While exploring Pinnacle's website, please be aware that other internet sites accessible from Pinnacle's website, have separate privacy and data collection policies and practices, which are independent of and may be different from Pinnacle's policies and practices. Pinnacle is not responsible or liable for these independent policies and practices and it is your responsibility to review them and decide whether or not they satisfactorily protect your rights.
