Privacy Notice
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share and protect your personal information.
Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
Customer Identification Requirements
On September 11, 2001, our lives changed forever. In an effort to protect you and our country, the USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.

CBTC Digital Banking Security Statement
Commercial Bank and Trust Company understands the security of your personal and account information is important to you. To assist us in offering online banking services in a secure manner, we use several different types of technology to ensure the confidentiality of your accounts.
Access Codes
An important security measure rests with you. Your transactions are protected by your individual Digital Banking User ID, Digital Banking password and Digital Banking PIN. You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. It is your sole responsibility to control and protect your ID, password, and PIN.

You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. It is your sole responsibility to control and protect your ID, password, and PIN.
Time Out Feature
To further protect you, a time out feature is used. We will end your Digital Banking session if we have detected no activity for 10 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you logged on. We recommend that you always sign off (log out) when you are done with your online banking.

Firewall
Commercial Bank uses a protection measure known as a firewall to protect our computer systems and your information. Firewalls can be thought of as selective barriers that only let authorized traffic (i.e. you, our Digital Banking customer) through.

Encryption
The privacy of the communications between you (your browser) and our servers is ensured using encryption. Encryption scrambles messages exchanged between your browser and our online banking server. Encryption happens as follows: When you go to the sign-on page for online banking, your browser establishes a secure session with our server. The secure session is established using a protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption. This protocol requires the exchange of what are called public and private keys. Keys are random numbers chosen for that session and are only known between your browser and our server. After the keys are exchanged, your browser will use the numbers to scramble (encrypt) the messages sent between your browser and our server. Both sides require the keys because they need to de-scramble (decrypt) the messages when they are received. The SSL protocol not only ensures privacy, but also ensures that no other browser can “impersonate” your browser, nor alter any of the information sent.

Network Security
The network architecture used to provide the online banking service was designed by the brightest minds in network technology. While the architecture is too complex to explain here, it is important to point out that the bank's computers that store your actual account information are not hooked up to the Internet. The requests you make through the Internet are handled by our home banking servers, which retrieve the information you requested from our mainframe via proxy-based firewall servers. These servers act as the go-between you and our mainframe computers.

Additional Measures
New advances in security technology are happening daily, and Commercial Bank is constantly evaluating its security architecture to ensure that it provides the highest level of privacy and safety for bank customers.
