an inactive customer, we will continue to adhere to the terms of this Privacy
Policy.

We may disclose all of the information we collect, as described above, to

and your accounts. If you ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or
incomplete information, please notify us. We will investigate your concerns and
correct any inaccuracies.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
Federal regulations to guard your personal and financial information. Our
employees do not have access to your personal or financial information unless
they have a business reason to have access to this information. We educate our
employees on the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your personal
and financial information and on this Privacy Policy.

wish to make it readily available to you.
9. PRIVACY INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO INTERNET USAGE
- When you visit our web site (www.championbank.us),
we want to assure you that we adhere to this Privacy Policy.
- We collect and store information about
"hits" on our web site for internal review purposes only. Such
information may include the name of the domain from which you access the
Internet (such as Compuserve.com or att.net), the date and time you access our
site, and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked to us. This
information enables us to see how you use our web site and keep our web site
user-friendly.
- Our web site does not require you disclose any
personally identifying information. However, if you do provide personal
information, such as your mailing and e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers,
or demographic and customer identification, we will not disclose (share, sell,
or divulge) it except:
- In order to complete a transaction initiated
by you
- At your request
- In response to legal process (for example, a
subpoena that complies with applicable right to financial privacy laws)
- To persons who provide us with products or
services that help us furnish banking services to you (for example, check
printers, appraisers, loan processors, etc.)
- In order to provide better service, we will
occasionally use a "cookie." A cookie is a small piece of information,
which a web site stores on your PC for later retrieval. The cookie cannot be
read by a web site other than the one that set the cookie. We use cookies for a
number of administrative purposes, for example, to store preferences for certain
kinds of information or to store a password so that it does not have to be input
for every visit someone makes to our site. Most cookies last only through a
single session, or visit. None will contain information that will enable anyone
to contact the visitor via telephone or e-mail. In addition, web browsers can be
set to inform the visitor when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being
set.
- We do not knowingly solicit information from
children and we do not market specifically to children. We recognize that
protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the
responsibility to do so rests with parents and the online industry.
