It pertains to this website and any other online interfaces, mobile sites, or mobile applications associated with FNB that link to this Online Policy (each referred to as a “Site,” and collectively as “Sites”). This Online Policy governs FNB’s practices concerning the collection, usage, and disclosure of information obtained from visitors while using the Sites, including transactions and the utilization of tracking technologies like cookies or action tags. All Sites, including this one, are operated and controlled within the United States of America. It is important to read this Online Policy in conjunction with the Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) linked viewable/linked above, which outlines how we may share the personal information we gather from you and provides instructions on how you can opt-out or restrict certain types of information sharing.

Modifications to this Online Policy
FNB reserves the right to modify this Online Privacy Policy at any time in response to future developments within our organization, changes in industry practices, or evolving legal matters. The “Effective Date” published above will reflect the most recent modifications. These changes will take effect upon the posting of the updated Online Policy on this website. By continuing to utilize the Site after such changes, you are considered to have accepted the revised terms. If you do not agree with the terms of this Online Policy, either in whole or in part, as it may be amended from time to time, we kindly request that you refrain from using our Sites. If you have any inquiries or feedback regarding this Online Policy or wish to update your personal information provided to us, please make that request in writing to FNB, Attention: Customer Service, P.O. Box 68 Primghar, IA 51245. Please provide a concise communication with complete information, including your contact information.

Information We Collect
FNB collects both Personal Information and Aggregate Information from visitors and users of our Sites. Personal information is referred to as any data that can be used to identify a particular individual. This may include details such as your name, address, email address, phone number, mother's maiden name, Social Security number, date of birth, driver's license, employment information, income, residence details, and collateral information. For instance, you might provide personal information when filling out an online application for a new banking product, enrolling in our online or mobile banking services, or completing online forms with your contact information.

The personal information we collect may undergo a process of aggregation and/or de-identification, where we remove any details that can personally identify you. This aggregated information may be shared with third-party providers. The purpose of sharing this data is to enhance the delivery of products, services, and content that are specifically tailored to the users of our online services. Additionally, we may utilize this information for our internal business purposes, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Your Device Information
In order to provide you with access to our products and services through mobile applications or websites, we may collect certain information related to your devices. When you use these applications and websites, we may gather details such as unique device identifiers, screen resolution, operating systems, device settings, the physical location (including geo-location) of your device, information from your device's contact list, images and other information from your device's camera and photo library, and analytical insights regarding your interactions with our applications and websites. Furthermore, we may utilize your device's location to offer you customized location-based content and services. While we may request your permission to collect some of this information, please note that if you choose not to enable these settings, we may be unable to provide you with the related personalized content.

How We Collect Personal Information Online
Our Sites may utilize cookies or similar technologies to gather information. Cookies are electronic files that your internet browser stores on your hard drive or device, retaining information related to your visits and usage of our Sites. The purpose of these cookies is to enhance the functionality and performance of our Sites. Additionally, we may associate or combine your aggregate information with your personal information using cookies or similar technology.

Cookies enable easier navigation within our Sites during a session, while “persistent” cookies allow you to set and maintain preferences for using our Sites beyond a single session. These persistent cookies remain on your device even after closing the internet browser or mobile application. We may also utilize technologies, including our own cookies, to provide you with customized online display advertising that aligns with your interests.

In addition to cookies, we employ “action tags” that are associated with tracking technology. These action tags help us understand the number of visitors who access our Sites from third-party websites, identify frequently visited areas within our Sites, and gauge the amount of time spent on our Sites. We provide this aggregated information to a non-affiliated application service provider responsible for compiling statistical data. By collecting this data, we enhance our ability to cater to the needs of our online and mobile users, and make necessary improvements to enhance the online and mobile experience.

You have the option to block cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser or utilizing software programs specifically designed for that purpose. However, please note that blocking cookies may prevent you from logging into our secure Online Banking services and limit other functionalities provided on our Sites. Additionally, you can delete cookies by removing them from your Temporary Internet or Cookies folder. It's important to be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may impact our ability to honor certain online advertising opt-out preferences you have previously selected.

We utilize and share personal information collected from and about you online for various purposes, including but not limited to:

Safeguarding Personal Information
We take appropriate measures to safeguard the personal information you provide to us through our Sites. However, it's important to note that no method of transmitting or storing data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us through or in connection with our Sites. If you suspect that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately by contacting us at (712) 957-2615.

In the unlikely event that we believe the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we will make every effort to promptly notify you. If notification is necessary, we will do so as quickly as  possible given the circumstances. If we have your email address, we may notify you by email.

Please be aware that we will never request personal information from you via email (such as username, password, Social Security number, or account number). We will also never include links that direct you to a non-secure page where you are asked to provide such information. To verify the legitimacy of an email you have received from FNB, you can contact us at (712) 957-2615, available Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT.

If you receive an email or any other correspondence requesting sensitive information through email or from a Site that does not appear to be affiliated with us, or if it seems suspicious to you, please refrain from providing such information and report the request to us immediately at (712) 957-2615.

Third-Party Data Sharing
Some third-party companies offer aggregation services that provide the convenience of consolidating your account information from various sources, including your accounts with us or other financial institutions. This allows you to access your data in one place or perform account-related actions through their services. To enable this, a third-party may request your authorization to access your FNB accounts. This can be done by providing your FNB user ID and password or by giving your consent directly to FNB.

Here are important considerations regarding third-party data sharing:

• The third-party, upon receiving your authorization, may access information about you, your relationship with FNB, and your accounts at FNB.
• It is crucial to exercise caution and ensure that the third-party implements appropriate policies and practices to safeguard the privacy and security of any personal information you provide or that they access.
• Your agreement with the third-party governs the use of your information, and it is separate from FNB. We recommend reviewing the policies of these third parties before sharing your personal information to understand how they will handle and store your account information. Take note of whether they sell personal information or transfer, process, or store data outside the United States.
• FNB is not accountable for the use or disclosure of any personal information accessed by companies or individuals to whom you provide your site user ID and password.
• If you share your FNB user ID, password, or account information with others, any transactions or actions initiated using that information will be considered authorized by you.
• Should you decide to revoke the authorization granted to a third-party, we highly recommend changing your FNB password to prevent ongoing access to your account.

Receiving Promotional Emails
If you prefer not to receive promotional emails or electronic news from FNB, you can opt out by following the instructions provided in the specific email. However, please note that even if you choose to stop receiving promotional emails, we may still contact you via email to provide important information about our Sites or us, or in response to a transactional or service-related matter.

Maintaining Accuracy of Information
We strive to ensure that the online and mobile information we have about you and your accounts is accurate and complete. If you believe that our records contain any inaccurate or incomplete information, please call our customer service line at (712) 957-2615, available Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CT. For our Online and Mobile Banking customers, you can access and edit your own information by logging into our secure Online Banking system at fnbprimghar.com. If any confirmed inaccuracies are identified, we will promptly correct them as necessary.

Children's Information
We respect and comply with the guidelines established by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Our Sites and Mobile Apps are not marketed to individuals under the age of 13. FNB does not knowingly collect or retain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

Web Linking Practices
We may include links to websites that are not affiliated with us or under our control. These links may lead to non-affiliated third-party sites, such as credit bureaus or service providers. We want to emphasize that when you click on these links and navigate to sites external to FNB, it is important to review their privacy and security policies, as well as their terms and conditions. These policies and terms may differ from those of our own Sites and Mobile Apps.

FNB cannot guarantee the privacy or security of these third-party sites. We are not responsible for their practices, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information they provide. We encourage you to exercise caution and diligence when visiting and interacting with any non-affiliated third-party sites linked from our Sites and Mobile Apps.
