Whether you are a current customer or just visiting our web site, we safeguard the information you provide to us at www.moundcitybank.com. How we use and protect this information is described below.
Protecting Online Applications
When you apply online for accounts or services, or enroll in online banking, you provide personal information that is necessary for us to process your application. Information is held in a secure environment, visible only to bank personnel. The bank personnel view the information through a 128 bit SSL browser. We, along with the outside companies with which we work, if applicable, may keep the information you provide to us, along with information we collect from outside sources, so that we can offer you accounts and services related to your financial needs.
How We Handle E-Mail
We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet legal and regulatory requirements. If we think that a particular Mound City Bank account or service might apply to your situation, we may occasionally contact you at your e-mail address to inform you of potential benefits and availability.
Unless it is stated on the e-mail form, e-mails you send to us and e-mails you receive from us are not secure. For this reason, you should never include sensitive or confidential information in your e-mail communications with us. For these communications, you may contact us by phone, U.S. postal mail or by visiting our nearest branch office.
What We Do With Online Surveys
The information you provide on surveys and promotions on our Web site will be used for internal marketing purposes, including developing Web site information and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may inform you of new accounts and services from Mound City Bank based on the information you provide to us.
No Data "Capture" With Planning Tools
There are many planning tools throughout the site to help you make the financial decisions that are right for you in the privacy of your home. We encourage you to try all of your "what if" scenarios as often as you like. When you use various planning tools on our Web site, the calculations run on your PC or our server. We do not capture the personal information you provide on these planning tools. Examples include the mortgage calculator, loan calculator, and the savings calculator.
Protecting Your Online Banking
When you bank online with us, we, along with the outside companies we work with to bring these services to you, have access to your information. Information is retained on our system or the system of the appropriate outside company, depending on what is required in order to serve you. We use state-of-the-art Internet technology, supported by the outside companies we work with, to make online banking secure and to protect your personal information. We also require an I.D. and password to access your accounts. You can help maintain the security of your banking information by not sharing your I.D. or password with anyone, by changing your password regularly, and by remembering to sign off.
Protecting Your Privacy Online
Whenever we ask for personal information on our Web site, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL technology) for transferring data. This technology encrypts or scrambles your account information so it's virtually impossible for anyone other than Mound City Bank to read it.

If you do not interact with us, you browse our Web site anonymously and any personal information, such as your e-mail address, is not collected.
We gather and analyze data regarding usage of our Web site, including domain name, pages visited, length of user session, etc., to evaluate the usefulness of our sites.
Protecting Our Children
We do not knowingly solicit data from children, and we do not knowingly market to children. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.
