Please read this notice carefully to understand how we handle user privacy.

We will use and share any information that we collect from or about our customers in accordance with the Stockman Bank Privacy Notice.

How We Collect Your Information

We collect personal information from you or about you when you provide this information to us directly. For example, we may obtain personal information when you enroll in Mobile or Online Banking, apply for an account online, contact customer support or otherwise interact with us.

In addition, we may collect information about your activity on the Services automatically using tracking technologies, such as cookies, and pixel tags.

Cookies:

• Cookies are small text files on your system, used to keep track of settings or data for a particular site. Web sites can use cookies to identify a returning user or to pass information between Web pages in a single visit.
• There are two types of cookies: temporary and permanent. Temporary cookies are used and tracked by the browser to pass information and are deleted once the browser is shut down. Permanent cookies are stored on your system and can be accessed again for multiple visits. Permanent cookies usually have an expiration date and will be automatically deleted from your system at that time.
• Internet Banking uses temporary cookies and may use permanent cookies, but never passes private information through cookies. Internet Banking also uses a different kind of temporary cookie known as a session cookie, a non-persistent cookie, or a pre-expired cookie. This cookie is used as part of the stringent security measures in Internet Banking to make sure that each page in Internet Banking is not cached or saved on your system. This means that each page must be retrieved from the Web server. This cookie is deleted when a user logs or times out of Internet Banking or if the browser window is closed and ensures that another user on the same computer cannot access the previous user's Internet Banking session or information.
• If you use Enhanced Security, Internet Banking may place a secure permanent cookie on your computer. This secure cookie is unique, and when used in combination with your login information, creates a unique way to identify you to the system. For every login attempt after you add extra security to a computer, this secure cookie is validated along with the login identification you normally enter. This secure cookie is only used to validate your identity and does not contain any personal information.

Pixel Tags:

• These are typically small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the Website, our Applications or certain e-mail communications. They may involve the transmission of information directly to us, to another party on our behalf or to another party in accordance with its privacy policy. We may use these technologies to bring together information we collect about you.

Location Tags:

• Certain applications on mobile devices may transmit information to us about your location. An example includes your physical location when you search for a nearby ATM using your mobile device. We may use that information to improve the products and services we provide to you as well as improving our services generally in your area.

Information collected through tracking technologies is used for many purposes including:

• Allowing you to use features within Mobile or Online Banking, when you grant us access to personal information from your device such as contact lists or geo-location to request certain services that require such access, for example using Zelle or locating an ATM

• Location – Used for geofencing and beacon scanning essential for advertising/marketing campaign delivery.
