When you visit our website to view any pages, read product information, or use any tools, you do so without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. While we do not collect identifying information about visitors to our site, we do use standard software that tracks the activity on our site.

The name of your Internet Service Provider,
The website that referred you to us (if any),
The date and time the pages were accessed, and
The page or pages you requested.
There are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms or send us an e-mail, you are transmitting the information that appears in the form or the body of the message. This will typically include information like your name, mailing address, e-mail address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your request. This is always your option; this information cannot be collected unless you specifically elect to send it to us. This information is used internally only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly. Beal Bank will not sell or provide any personal information to third parties for any purpose including solicitation purposes.
