At Hyde Park Savings Bank, the basis of each account relationship is trust. As financial service professionals entrusted with sensitive financial information, we respect the privacy of our customers and are committed to treating customer information responsibly.

This is our privacy notice for our customers. When we use the words "you" and "your" we mean the following types of customers:

All of our consumer customers who have a continuing relationship with us, such as:

We will tell you the sources of nonpublic personal information we collect on our customers. We will tell you what measures we take to secure that information.

We, our and us means Hyde Park Savings Bank.

Nonpublic personal information means information about you that we collect in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. Nonpublic personal information does not include information that is availabile from public sources, such as telephone directories or government records.

An affiliate is a company we own or control, a company that owns or controls us, and a company that is owned or controlled by the same company that owns or controls us. Ownership does not mean complete ownership, but means owning enough to have control.

A nonaffiliated third party is a company that is not an affiliate of ours.

* Information we receive from you on applications or other forms.
