The FFIEC is committed to maintaining the privacy of your personal information. The information practices for our web site are set forth below. The FFIEC does not collect, store, or use information obtained through this web site, except as described below.
The FFIEC automatically collects and stores information about your Internet connection when you visit our web site. This information includes the following:
- the date and time that you access our site
- the pages that you visit
- if you linked to the FFIEC web site from another web site, the address of that web site
- the type of browser (for example, Netscape 4.0) used to access our site
- the IP (Internet Protocol) address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web) from which you access our site

The FFIEC, in places, uses only non-persistent cookies (Tier-1 single session cookies), as defined by OMB Memo 10-22. These cookies do not permanently record data and they are not stored on your computer's hard drive.
You may opt out of the above described cookie use by following these browser specific opt-out instructions: (http://www.usa.gov/optout_instructions.shtml). Opting out of FFIEC Tier-1 single-session cookies may affect the performance of some FFIEC web applications.
If you choose to give us feedback on the web site via electronic
mail(or if you request additional information from the FFIEC), you will be
asked for your name and address and will have the option of providing other
information, such as your profession. If you send e-mail to the FFIEC, we will
consider that to be your consent for the FFIEC to use the information collected
from the message consistent with this policy.
If you provide your name and other information, the FFIEC will
maintain the information to process your request or inquiry. FFIEC employees
will see the information in the course of their official duties. In limited
circumstances, such as requests from the Congress or pursuant to a court order,
we may be required by law to disclose information you submit.
Please note that e-mail is not necessarily secure against
interception, and that e-mail features in this web site are not encrypted. If
your communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information like
your bank account or social security number, you might want to send it by
postal mail instead of e-mail.
The FFIEC uses the information--both the information that is
collected automatically and the additional information that you may provide--to
measure the volume of requests for specific web-site pages, to improve the web
site, and to be responsive to user needs and inquiries. The FFIEC may use the
IP address information to monitor unusually heavy activity from a single
address.
Although questions, comments, and other communications that we
receive generally are not retained as permanent records, please note that it is
possible that any mail--electronic or paper--that we receive could become part
of the permanent record of the FFIEC, if the mail is part of materials that are
scheduled for permanent retention.
For the security of our site and to ensure that the site remains
available to all users, the FFIEC employs software programs to monitor network
traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or
otherwise cause damage. See the FFIEC's Disclaimer
for additional information on this issue.
