Mission valley Bank Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 2021 Last Updated: May 2022
1. Introduction
Mission Valley Bank. (“MVB” or “we”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is for users of our website, www.missionvalleybank.com, users of our “Mission Valley Bank Mobile” mobile banking app, and users of any other website, mobile app or service we operate that links to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”). The Policy describes how we may collect, use, and share your Personal Information in connection with operating the Services. It also explains related rights and choices you may have.
MVB customers and consumers should also refer to our U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”), which contains privacy disclosures we are required to make as a federally-regulated financial institution. The Privacy Notice supplements this Policy.
California residents should also refer to our California Consumer Privacy Statement, which discloses additional information pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (the “CCPA”). Our California Consumer Privacy Statement supplements this Policy with respect to California residents.
You may see other privacy notices when we collect your Personal Information for certain purposes. Those notices also supplement this Policy.
Rights described in this Policy, or that you may have under certain consumer protection laws, may not apply if you are using the Service on behalf of an organization that is our customer.
To visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland or elsewhere outside the United States (“Other Countries”): MVB is a National Association chartered under the laws of the United States with headquarters in Sun Valley, California. Our Services are not targeted to natural persons in Other Countries. If you visit our Service or contact us, your Personal Information will be processed in the United States—which has neither sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Commission as referenced in Article 25 of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—and will be handled in accordance with this Policy and applicable U.S. law, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing with you or a third party you are affiliated with.
2. What is “Personal Information”?
When we say “Personal Information,” we mean information that can reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household. Generally speaking, your Personal Information includes your unique identifiers (full name, phone number, email address, user name, etc.), and information about your characteristics, conditions or behavior that is associated with one of your identifiers or could otherwise reasonably be linked to you.
“Non-Personal Information,” on the other hand, has been anonymized, aggregated or de-identified such that it cannot reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household.
3. Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It

Our agreements with vendors prohibit them from retaining, using, or disclosing the Personal Information we share with them for any purpose other than providing services to us.
Analytics And Marketing Partners
We may share your Personal Information with analytics or marketing partners, who may also be our vendors, to analyze how our Service is used and to support our marketing efforts. This sharing may involve the use of browser cookies and similar technologies placed through our Service by our partners, as explained here. For example, when you visit our website, our partner’s Cookie may cause your browser to automatically send a request to our partner’s server and may provide our partner with your IP address, other online Identifiers, Device Information, and Internet Activity.
Mandatory Disclosures and Legal Proceedings
We may have a legal obligation to disclose Personal Information to government authorities or other third parties pursuant to a valid regulatory request, subpoena, or court order.

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process children’s Personal Information unless the child’s parent or guardian consents and provides the information. If we determine that we have received a child’s Personal Information from a source other than the child’s consenting parent/guardian, we will immediately delete the information.
What Are Cookies?
A browser cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores in your device’s browser. It holds information that the site uses to function properly, remember your preferences, or personalize your experience. A typical cookie contains a cookie ID, which is a unique string of characters used to identify your browser during the browsing session, or in some cases, during subsequent browsing sessions. Cookies, cookie ID’s and similar pieces of data may be considered Personal Information (Identifiers or Internet Activity) under applicable law.
Other online technologies, similar to cookies, may allow users to be identified and tracked across multiple browsing sessions, and in some cases tracked across different websites and online services for marketing or advertising purposes. These technologies include, but are not necessarily limited to, pixels, web beacons and scripts (collectively with browser cookies, “Cookies”).
How Cookies May Be Used on Our Services
Our website uses “first party” Cookies, which are set by our web domain (www.missionvalleybank.com). Our Service also uses some “third party” Cookies, which are set by other web domains associated with our vendors or partners. This means that, when you visit our site, your browser may automatically connect to our vendor’s or partners’ web server, as well as ours, and provide them with access to your online Identifiers and Internet Activity, including information about how you use our site.
Both First Party and Third-Party Cookies may be used on our Services for the following purposes:
• Essential: Essential Cookies are necessary for site security and to enable you to move around our site and use its features.
• Preferences: Preference Cookies allow us to remember your preferences on the Service during a browsing session or across browsing session.
• Analytics: Analytics Cookies allow us to analyze use of our Site or Service to evaluate and improve performance.
Our Services don’t use any Cookies to track you for cross-site behavioral advertising purposes.
How You Can Block Cookies
You can block, disable, or delete cookies at any time by changing the settings in your browser. However, blocking, disabling, or deleting cookies may limit your ability to view all the pages of our site or other sites. You can find more information about cookies and other options you may have for restricting them at www.cookiesandyou.com/, and www.aboutads.info/choices.
“Do Not Track” Signals
Your browser may offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting. If you turn that setting on, your browser sends a signal to websites indicating that you don’t want to be tracked over time or across third party sites. We don’t currently respond to these signals because there is not yet a common understanding of how to process them or a consensus on what “tracking” means.
