Privacy Policy
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, First Financial Services collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. First Financial Services’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how First Financial Services’s visitors use its website. From time to time, First Financial Services may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
First Financial Services also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. First Financial Services only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to First Financial Services’s websites choose to interact with First Financial Services in ways that require First Financial Services to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that First Financial Services gathers depends on the specific nature of the interaction. In each case, First Financial Services collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with First Financial Services. First Financial Services does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
First Financial Services may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. First Financial Services may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, First Financial Services does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
First Financial Services discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on First Financial Services’s behalf or to provide services available at First Financial Services’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using First Financial Services’s website(s), you consent to the transfer of such information to them. First Financial Services will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, First Financial Services discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when First Financial Services believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of First Financial Services, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an First Financial Services website and have supplied your email address, First Financial Services may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new services or features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with First Financial Services and our services. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. First Financial Services takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. First Financial Services uses cookies to help First Financial Services identify and track visitors, their usage of First Financial Services website, and their website access preferences. First Financial Services visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using First Financial Services’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of First Financial Services’s website(s) may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If First Financial Services, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that First Financial Services goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of First Financial Services may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by First Financial Services and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to our Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
