Introduction

Meridian Crest Financial Bank (“Meridian Crest,” “we,” “our,” or “us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you visit our website, use our online banking demo, or contact us for support.

This is a demonstration application. No real financial accounts, transactions, or loans are offered. The information below describes the practices we follow in connection with this demo experience.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and any messages you submit through our contact or support forms. If you create a demo account, we also collect a username, password, and any profile details you choose to provide.

We also collect technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the dates and times of your visits. This helps us understand how visitors use the site and improve the experience.

How we use your information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the demo banking experience.
• To respond to your questions, complaints, or support requests.
• To monitor website performance, security, and usage trends.
• To communicate updates, service notices, or promotional information where permitted.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, host data, or analyze usage, and only under agreements that require them to protect your information.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users.
