We first define some terms.

If one of you chooses to opt out, no information we have collected about you will be shared, nor will we share information about any other joint party collected in conjunction with the product or service.

                                   ONLINE BANKING SECURITY

                  Grand Bank of Floridasm is committed to providing the highest level of security
                  and privacy in the collection and use of information about our banking
                  customers, as well as that of all visitors to our web site.

                  The bank's policies regarding collecting, using, sharing, accuracy, and
                  safeguarding customer information are as follows:

                  Respect of Right to Privacy
                  Grand Bank of Floridasm acknowledges and respects the privacy and
                  confidentiality of customer information. We want to assure our customers that
                  information communicated electronically through our web site is as secure as
                  information received through more traditional bank delivery channels.

                  Collection and Use of Customer Information
                  The collection of information online is designed to protect access to your
                  accounts and to assist the bank in providing you with the products and
                  services that are of value to you. All information collected and stored by the
                  bank is used for specific business purposes. Specifically, it is used to protect
                  and maintain your accounts and transactions, to comply with state and federal
                  banking regulations, and to help the bank better understand your financial
                  needs in order to design or improve our products and services.

                  Information may also be obtained from "cookies". A "cookie" is a small file
                  placed on your hard drive by our web site server that is retrieved the next time
                  you enter our web site. The "cookie" is used to help us serve you better by
                  recognizing you as a customer and to automate your online experience. For
                  example, "cookies" are used to store your preferences for certain kinds of
                  information or to store account information so that you do not have to input it
                  every time you visit our site. "Cookies" cannot be used to reveal anything that
                  you have not already explicitly revealed. They cannot read your hard drive, get
                  your e-mail address, or steal personal information about you. If you do not with
                  to receive "cookies", you can set your browser to alert you of a "cookie" being
                  offered, or to reject all "cookies".

                  Safeguarding Customer Information
                  Grand Bank of Floridasm has established security standards and procedures to
                  help protect customer information from unauthorized access. Customer
                  information is protected from unauthorized access to the bank by a password
                  chosen by the customer. Thus, customer information is only accessible to
                  those who know the customer's user identification and password. User
                  identification and passwords provide audit trails to further safeguard the privacy
                  of customer information.

                  Customer information is protected from being altered while in transmission to
                  the bank by encryption technology known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
                  SSL manipulates the data into a format unreadable to humans as it leaves the
                  customer's workstation. Furthermore, the data in transit is split up into packets
                  that travel separately and are not reorganized until they filter through the bank's
                  router. If the encryption code is broken at an unauthorized computer, that
                  computer will only receive incomplete random packets, which would be out of
                  context with the whole data.

                  Customer information is protected while in the bank by limiting its access to
                  only authorized employees, who are trained in the proper handling of that
                  information. These employees have been instructed to maintain the
                  information's confidentiality. To ensure that the confidentiality policy is
                  understood, it is incorporated into the Employee Handbook. Failure of an
                  employee to comply with the privacy policy is subject to disciplinary action.
