Recognition of your expectation of privacy

We recognize and respect the privacy expectations of our clients. To meet those expectations, the Bank maintains policies and procedures to safeguard your personal information. All consumer personal information collected, processed or disclosed is pursuant to the Federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102) and implied regulations. You may have other privacy protection under the applied State Law and to the extend applicable. We will comply with those provisions.

Protecting online applications

When you apply online for accounts or services, enroll in Online Banking, and/or download City National Bank of Florida’s mobile application available on platforms that include but are not limited to Google Play and Apple’s App Store, you provide personal information that is necessary for us to process your application, and/or provide features of our Online Bank and mobile app to you. To ensure that your application remains confidential, the information is sent to us in a "secure session". After you have submitted your application online, we recommend that you end your browser session before leaving your computer. We, along with the outside companies with which we work, if applicable, may keep the information you provide to us, along with information we collect from outside sources, so that we can offer you accounts and services related to your financial needs.

Linking to Third-party Websites

The Bank may provide links to websites that are owned or operated by other companies ("third-party websites").  When you use a link online to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website’s privacy and security practices, which may differ from ours. You should familiarize yourself with the privacy policy, terms of use and security practices of the linked third-party website before providing any information on that website.  

How we handle e-mail

We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet legal and regulatory requirements. If we think that a particular City National Bank of Florida account or service might apply to your situation, we may occasionally contact you at your e-mail address to inform you of potential benefits and availability.

What we do with online surveys

The information you provide on surveys and promotions on our website will be used for internal marketing purposes, including developing website information and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may inform you of new accounts and services from City National Bank of Florida based on the information you provide to us.

No data "capture" with planning tools

There are many planning tools throughout the site to help you make the financial decisions that are right for you in the privacy of your home. We encourage you to try all of your "what-if" scenarios as often as you like. Examples include the mortgage principal and interest calculator and the savings goal calculators. When you use various planning tools on our website, the calculations run on your PC or our server. We do not capture the personal information you provide on these planning tools.

Maintenance of accurate information

We have standards and procedures to ensure that your financial information is accurate, current and complete in accordance with commercial standards. We will respond to your request to review and correct inaccurate information in a timely manner.

Protecting your online banking

We use state-of-the-art Internet technology, supported by the outside companies we work with, to make Online Banking secure and to protect your personal information.
