Creation of Non-Identifiable Data. The App may create de-identified information records from personal information by excluding certain information (such as your name) that makes the information personally identifiable to you.

Links to Other Sites
Our internet and mobile services contain links to third party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will go to another site and another entity may collect personal and/or anonymous information from you. The provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Do Not Track Signals. On pages where you have not logged in, you can browse anonymously by not providing us with any personal identifiable information, such as your name or email address, during your visits.
Some web browsers transmit "do not track" signals to the websites and other online services with which your web browser communicates. There is currently no standard that governs what, if anything, sites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not act in response to these signals. If, and when, a standard is established, we may revise our practices in this area.
For internet-based and mobile banking applications: Access, Update, or Correct Your Information. You can access, update, or correct your information by changing preferences in your account.
Opting Out of Location Tracking. If you initially consented to the collection of geo-location information through the Services, you can subsequently stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the preferences on your mobile device. Please note, however, that if you withdraw consent to our collection of location information, you may no longer be able to use some features of the App.
