Automatically-Collected Information

Far Bank uses certain digital analytics tools on the Website that help us analyze site usage and performance when you visit and use the Website, such as cookies, which are discussed in more detail below. The information we collect automatically typically does not include any individuals’ names or contact information. Rather, as you navigate and browse the Website, these analytics tools automatically collect and store information about your visit to and use of the Website, such as: the date and time of your visit, the duration of your visit, the type of browser and browser language you use, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, mobile device ID, type of computer or other operating device used, the actions you take on the Website (such as the web pages viewed and the links clicked), the websites (if any) from which you linked to the Website, and the website(s) you visit after visiting the Website. All such information is referred to in this Privacy Statement as “Automatically-Collected Information,” and may be considered Personal Information depending on applicable privacy laws.

This Automatically Collected Information allows us to better understand the visitors to the Website, where they come from, and what ‎content on the Website is of interest to them. It also helps us to maintain the security and operation of the Website. We only ever use this Automatically Collected Information for our internal analytics purposes, to diagnose problems with our ‎servers, and to improve the quality, performance, and functionality of the Website‎.

Personal Information Provided by Others

Far Bank may obtain Personal Information from other third-party sources, including our ‎customers and business partners, as well as publicly and commercially ‎available sources.  ‎We may combine the information we receive from these third-‎party sources with ‎information that we collect from you or automatically collected information from your device, as described above, in order to ‎provide the Website and our services to you and other customers.

When you do provide us your Personal Information, you indicate to us your understanding that we will use that information to fulfill the purposes identified herein in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Statement and to store your information on our servers located in the United States. You understand that your Personal Information may be subject to the laws of the United States, and that it may be accessible to governments, tribunals, law enforcement and regulatory agencies in the United States. 

Use of Personal Information to Perform Services Requested and to Contact You

Far Bank uses Personal Information provided by Users to perform the services they request. For example, if you place an order through our Website we will use your Personal Information that is required to fulfill your order. If you subscribe to our distribution list or otherwise create an account with us, the Personal Information you provide Far Bank through such activities will be associated with you, and where applicable your account, in relation our performance of such activities. If you apply for a job with Far Bank, we will use the information you provide with your application to consider you for the position you apply for.

At any time, you may request that we stop contacting you for marketing purposes by sending us an e-mail at privacy@farbank.com. Also, if we use your Personal Information to send you marketing communications via email, we will provide you with an unsubscribe mechanism to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications. If you request that we not contact you for marketing purposes (either by using the unsubscribe mechanism or by sending us an email), depending on the nature of our business relationship with you, we may still contact you for non-marketing purposes relating to your use of the Website or otherwise in regard to our business relationship with you.

Use of Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information Generally

We also may use both Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to help diagnose problems with the Website, to analyze statistical use patterns and demographic data, and to improve our products and services.

If you provide information online in order to apply for a job with Far Bank, please note that you may be asked to use and provide information through a third-party applicant tracking system (“ATS”) service we use to assist us with receiving online job applications.

COLLECTION AND USE OF AUTOMATICALLY-COLLECTED INFORMATION

As described above, Far Bank uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies, to collect Automatically-Collected Information as you navigate the Website. Far Bank also uses Automatically-Collected Information to operate and improve the Website, including to analyze what Users are looking at most frequently so we can recognize and deliver more of the desired features, products, and services. This section describes in further detail the types of Automatically-Collected Information Far Bank may collect and how Far Bank may use this Automatically-Collected Information.

Cookies

The Website uses “cookies” to make your interactions with the Website easy and meaningful. When you visit the Website, our servers send a cookie to your computer or device. The cookie is placed on your computer or device hard drive, and it assigns your computer or device a unique, random number that acts as a sort of anonymous ID. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; rather, a cookie identifies the computer or device used to access the Website. A cookie cannot read data off of your hard drive. Unless you choose to identify yourself to us, such as by responding to a promotional offer or filling out a web form, you remain anonymous to Far Bank when browsing the Website; in other words, the cookie alone does not enable us to identify you personally.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable the acceptance of cookies at any time by changing the preferences in your browser. Most browsers also allow you to change the settings to require that the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie. Please refer to your browser for information on how to disable and control cookies. Information about managing cookies in commonly used browsers is available online from www.allaboutcookies.org. If you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to browse the Website, but you may not be able to successfully use certain features of the Website.

Third Party Analytics

We use third-party services, including Google Analytics, to track and analyze your Website activity, as well as to track websites you visit after using the Website. In order to gather this Automatically-Collected Information, we use a Google Analytics cookie on the Website. When you visit the Website, Google Analytics automatically collects ‎information from you through the use of Google’s analytics IDs, and Google provides some of this information to us. An analytics ID is a specific string of numbers and letters (often called a “character string”) that is ‎assigned to your computer or device but does not name you. The analytics ID allows Google to track ‎usage data of the Website, such as date and time of visit, duration of visit, Website traffic patterns, ‎‎“clickstreams,” other similar ‎information about your use of the Website, ‎the type of web browser ‎used, the operating ‎system/platform you are using, your IP address, the ‎websites that referred or ‎linked you to the Website, and your CPU speed.‎ Google Analytics does not share the analytics ID ‎assigned to your computer or device that you use to access and use the Website. Google Analytics ‎provides information about the use of the Website to us in aggregate form (i.e., data about many ‎Website users combined and not just about you). Some of this data might include the regional location ‎of Website users, but again, this data will be in aggregate (and not individual) form. We rely on this ‎aggregate data to inform us how users are using the ‎ Website and to help us improve the Website.‎

Social Media Widgets

Some pages of the Website include social media features, such as “buttons” or “widgets”. If you use these ‎features they may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Website, ‎and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and ‎widgets are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the Website. See the Social Media Features section under the heading How We Share the Personal Information We Collect, below, for more details about your interactions with these features on our Websites.

HOW WE SHARE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Far Bank may share your Personal Information in the manners described in this section. In addition, Far Bank may also share aggregated Automatically-Collected Information that has been de-identified or otherwise rendered anonymous without restriction.

Third-Party Service Providers

Far Bank may disclose, or allow access to, your Personal Information and Automatically Collected Information to third party service providers to perform certain services for us, including:

  • to enable online and mobile ordering and delivery, as well as purchases from our store;
  • to perform certain marketing activities on our behalf, such as through promotional e-mail campaigns, social media interactions, and other digital marketing technologies;
  • to manage our employment and recruiting process;
  • to perform website analytics services, as described above in this Privacy Statement; and
  • to provide other services relating to the operation of the Website (such as hosting, data storage, and security).

Far Bank does not sell Personal Information to any third parties. Rather, any disclosure of Personal Information to third party service providers is solely to enable the service provider to perform the requested services on Far Bank’s behalf. These third-party service providers are not authorized to use your information received from Far Bank in any way, including for their own marketing efforts, other than for the purpose of providing a service on our behalf, and are required to keep the information confidential.

Merger, Acquisition, or Sale

We may transfer any and all Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to a third party if Far Bank is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, restructuring, or other sale or transfer of all or any portion of its assets or business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceedings in which information of Users is among the assets transferred. In this event, we will, if allowed, use reasonable efforts to notify you when your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information is transferred to any third party under this paragraph by posting such notice on the Website and/or by contacting you via the Personal Information you have provided us, if any. In the event of a transfer of Personal Information as described in this section, we will instruct the third party recipient that absent your permission to do otherwise it may only use your Personal Information covered by this Privacy Statement in accordance with this Privacy Statement, even after the transfer. However, following such transfer we cannot guarantee or enforce that any such third-party will abide by Far Bank’s instruction, and any new information you provide after the transfer will likely be subject to a new policy, and you should review that policy.

Required by Law

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Statement, Far Bank reserves the right to disclose your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information, without your consent and without additional notice to you, if we reasonably believe we are required by law, rule, regulation, judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or similar legal process to do so; if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect, establish, or exercise our rights or property, or to defend against legal claims; or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our other Users or our employees, property, or business, or to take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud.

Social Media Features

As described above, we provide certain social media features on the Website. These features might require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, or application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by such social media platforms to facilitate the communications and features. When you provide us with information through these platforms, the information you provide is also collected and processed by the social media platform you are using, and any collection and processing thereby is performed subject to and in accordance with the privacy statements of such social media platforms, over which Far Bank has no responsibility or control. Please be aware that by choosing to use any third party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, any Personal Information you provide in conjunction with such use may be collected and processed by the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platforms. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use of your information or content by a third party social media platform, which you disclose at your own discretion. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and practices of any social media platforms prior to use.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Website is not directed at nor intended for use by children under the age of 13. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us by email at privacy@farbank.com to request that we remove the information from our systems.

SECURITY OF COLLECTED INFORMATION

Far Bank uses commercially-reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative security measures to assist in protecting against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of Personal Information that is under our control. Unfortunately, no data storage system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet or wireless network, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and no security system can prevent all security breaches.

RETENTION, STORAGE AND REMOVAL

We may retain all Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information in our databases for as long as necessary to perform the business purposes for which we’ve collected it, or until you ask us to remove your information from our databases, unless applicable laws require otherwise. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will ‎either delete or aggregate it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal ‎information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal ‎information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. Note that even after you ask us to remove your information from our databases, it may be impossible to remove some information, such as information tracked in our web server log files and information that may reside in backup files. This residual information is retained to preserve the integrity of our backed-up files and for business continuity purposes.
