Privacy Policy
Website Privacy Policy
This site collects anonymous data that is not indicative of and cannot be traced to an individual without the cooperation of their Internet Service Provider. This data includes information about the user’s remote IP address, referral data (which page “linked” to the present request), and the browser software’s user-agent string. This information is accepted passively from the HTTP headers sent when the user requests any file from the server. Other anonymous data entered by the user may be collected in a common repository, including terms entered into the search engine, ISP of a visitor, which pages were visited, etc.
Personally identifiable data are collected only by means of form interfaces on the site, into which the user must voluntarily enter the information requested. This information is requested only when it is necessary to accomplish the overt purpose indicated by the interface containing the form. Such interfaces require only the information reasonably necessary to accomplish the overt purpose indicated on the interface.
No attempt is made to covertly or “quietly” collect personally identifiable information, nor are cookies or any other tracking technology used for the purpose of coordinating information that a user may opt to enter in various interfaces on the site.
What organization is collecting the information?
Information entered by site visitors is retrieved directly by:
Tectonic Financial, Inc.
600 Travis Street, 59th Floor
Houston, TX 77002
(713) 250-4200
How does Tectonic Financial use the information it collects?
The anonymous information collected is used to monitor usage of this website and the interests of those who use it. Data such as the volume of traffic to the server, the number of visitors a certain section of the site receives each month, or the most popular search terms are analyzed to derive general statistics about the site’s reach and audience usage patterns. Personally identifiable information is used only for the express purpose for which it was submitted.
With whom does Tectonic Financial share the information that is collected?
Tectonic Financial does not share personally identifiable information about its website visitors with anyone. Reports, statistics, and other analyses of aggregate anonymous information may be shared within the organization or provided to third parties at the sole discretion of Tectonic Financial. This information does not include any personally identifiable information.
Exception: Tectonic Financial reserves the right to use all information at its disposal and to share this information with ISPs and other third parties as necessary to investigate any incident of misuse or abuse of its site, server, or information systems.
How does Tectonic Financial maintain the information it collects?
In most cases, personally identifiable information is not maintained. Once it has been used for its intended purpose, it is deleted. Because of the brevity of this interval, no mechanism is provided to enable users to alter or delete information they have submitted.
How does Tectonic Financial comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998?
Tectonic Financial does not use its website to collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. Any interface that requests personally identifiable information and that can be expected to be viewed by children under 13 years of age is accompanied by a notice that submissions cannot be accepted from users under 13 years of age. Providing personal information is never a prerequisite for accessing any of the content or resources on this website. Specifically, refusal to provide personal information via a web interface will never result in a user being denied access to any online content or resource they would otherwise be able to access.
Policy Modifications and Deviations
We may modify this privacy policy and will post those changes here. If the privacy policy changes in the future, we will not use any personal information you have submitted to us under the current Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy without your prior consent. It may be necessary to deviate from this general policy in unique instances and for specific purposes. In such instances, a link will be provided to a description of the deviation. This link will be placed where it can reasonably be expected to be noticed prior to submitting any information for which this privacy policy is modified or exempted in any way.
Information Security
This Internet Banking System brings together a combination of industry-approved security technologies to protect data for the bank and for you, our customer. It features password-controlled system entry, a VeriSign-issued Digital ID for the bank’s server, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption, and a router loaded with a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.
Weblinks
We may provide links to non-affiliated third-party sites, such as credit bureaus, service providers, or merchants. If you follow links to sites not affiliated with or controlled by Tectonic Financial, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions, as they may be different from those of our sites and mobile apps. Tectonic Financial does not guarantee and is not responsible for the privacy or security of these sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of their information.
