6. Safeguards and Retention
Journey Bank implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the information in our custody and control against theft, loss, and unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure. Our employees who have access to your non-public personal information are trained in the proper handling of your information. When your account information is transmitted via our services, it will be protected using encryption technology.
While we take steps to protect your nonpublic personal information and keep it secure, you also play a role in protecting your information. Transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information. You can help to maintain the security of your transactions by not sharing your Use ID and Password with anyone. User IDs and Passwords are used to help safeguard against unauthorized access to your information through the Mobile Banking App. Journey Bank recommends that you change your password every 180 days.
As an added layer of security, Journey Bank’s Mobile Banking App contains a strong login safeguard in the form of a phone call or text to retrieve a one-time secure code. This feature ensures that you are the person actually accessing your accounts online by contacting you at a number on file with the bank whenever your computer, tablet, or phone is not recognized. Any attempt to access your accounts from an unknown device triggers the security process. This secure code feature prevents logins by thieves who have stolen your login information. The banking term for this security is “out-of-band authentication,” and it is the strongest in the industry.
The application information is retained in accordance with state and federal record retention laws. Please contact us to determine specific timeframes for your personal stored information and if that information may be deleted.
7. Protecting Children's Privacy
The App is not designed nor intended to be attractive to use by children under the age of 18 ("Minors"). We do not knowingly collect information from or market to Minors.
8. Notice Updates and Effective Date
This Policy is subject to change and any changes to this Policy will become effective when posted on this App. Your use of the App following these changes means you accept the revised Notice.
