Because your financial privacy is so important to American Riviera Bank®, we go to great lengths to ensure we are transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. We do not engage in intrusive advertisement retargeting or share personally identifiable information with third parties other than those necessary to provide you with products and services selected by you. When you opt in to such products or services, the terms of use of the service will provide additional detail about data use and data protection functionalities.
Various laws and regulations also require certain additional privacy-related policies and notices, which are posted here for your convenience. These notices include the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice (“CCPA Notice”). The CCPA Notice explains how we collect, use and disclose information about California residents and how California residents can exercise rights under the CCPA.
The additional policies and notices also include American Riviera Bank Privacy Policy, which applies to U.S. customers and consumers as described in that notice. Please note that where we have another type of presence on a site owned by a third party, such as a page on a social media site, that third party’s privacy policy and terms of use, rather than this Policy, will govern, unless specifically stated otherwise.
This Digital Privacy Policy describes how American Riviera Bank® (the "Bank") applies to your interaction with this website (“Site”).
