Privacy & Information Confidentiality
Your personal and financial information must be handled with the utmost discretion. At Laurentian Bank, we respect your privacy and are dedicated to protecting any personal information you entrust us with.
Your personal information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify you, alone or in combination with other information. This may include, for example, your name, address, government issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, credit and payment history, income, age and gender.
When we collect personal information about you, we explain why we do so. The main reason why we collect your personal information is to serve you as our client. We collect personal information about you only when you voluntarily provide it, authorize us to collect it from a third party, or as permitted or required by law.

For Your Security
While we make every effort to secure your personal information and maintain a high level of security, there are various precautions you can take when banking online to further protect yourself:
- Make sure you never disclose your password. To access your account information, you must use a password. We ask you to change it regularly and to keep it confidential. You should not choose a password that may be easy for others to discover such as date of birth, telephone number or address, and we suggest that you memorize it.
- Make sure you always close or log off your online session before stepping away from your computer.
- Clear your browser's cache memory or history to avoid the inadvertent disclosure of your activities to other parties. Clearing your browser history varies with the web browser you use, please refer to your web browser for more information.
- When you enter sections containing personal information on your account, your browser's security icon should appear. It will be, depending on the type of browser, a key or a small, closed padlock. This icon indicates that your session is secure. A broken key or an open padlock indicates that your session is not secure. Remember: a message sent without a security seal means it could be accessed by an unauthorized individual or organization.
