Tradition collects nonpublic personal information only to provide services our customers request that will be used to meet our customers' financial needs, and is allowed by law.

With regard to deposit accounts, we will collect information relative to employment status and previous banking relationships.

Once you cease to be our customer, we may disclose your nonpublic personal information in the same manner as we do for current customers. Two years after you cease to be our customer, we will not disclose your nonpersonal public information except as permitted by law.
