Internet Privacy
Internet, Online Banking & CMM Privacy Policy
At Farmers and Mechanics Bank, we have always placed the highest priority on the
confidentiality of our customers' personal and financial information. Consequently, our overall
approach to Internet privacy is guided by and is essentially the same in all key respects to our
Consumer Privacy Policy which governs the collection, confidentiality and use of nonpublic
personal information throughout our organization. We would also like to take this opportunity to
elaborate way this policy is adapted to your use of our website and our Online Banking and
Commercial Cash Management (CMM) services.

provide a means of identifying individual visitors.
