Introduction and Scope of Policy
This Seacoast Online and Mobile Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to your interaction with
Seacoast National Bank or any affiliated parties (collectively, “Seacoast,” “we,” “us,” “our”), at
any online or mobile site or application that we own and control (“Site”), unless a different
online and/or mobile policy is posted at a particular site, or is made available to you and by its
terms supplants this Policy. Other privacy policies may also apply in addition to the terms of this
Policy. As examples, certain additional Seacoast privacy-related policies and notices are posted
at www.seacoastnational.com/policies.asp. This includes the Seacoast Consumer Privacy Notice.
You may also receive an additional privacy notice in connection with your use of a particular
product or relationship with a specific business. This Policy also explains certain data use and
data protection functionalities and practices of our online ads, such as banner ads, on third party
sites. Please note that where we have another type of presence on a site owned by a third party,
such as a page or handle on a social media site, that third party’s privacy policy and terms of use,
rather than this Policy, will govern, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Agreement to Policy
By using a Site or interacting with a Seacoast advertisement or page or account on a third party
site, you consent to this Policy, including your consent to our use and disclosure of information
about you in the manner described in this Policy.

offer the ability to access your accounts online. Information that we may collect about you
through online interaction includes information that you input, such as your name, address, email

gather information collected through cookies, tags, and other technologies, as described further
below.
About "Cookies"
Cookies are pieces of data stored on your device. Browser cookies are assigned by a web server
to the browser on your device. When you return to a site you have visited before, your browser
gives this data back to the server. Mobile applications may also use cookies.
We use cookies and information gathered through their use to make your experience with
Seacoast and certain other sites richer and more personalized based on the products, services, or
other interaction you have with us and other sites. Information gathered through use of cookies
may be used to make offers to you via online ads, email, U.S. mail or telephone, subject to the
privacy preferences you have on file with Seacoast. We also use cookies, sometimes in
conjunction with service providers, in online advertising either on our own Site or on third party
sites to help determine which of our advertisements are most likely to appeal to you.
We also use cookies for purposes such as maintaining continuity during an online session;
gathering data about the use of our site; monitoring online promotions; and anti-fraud and
information security purposes.
We also provide certain widgets or tools on our sites, such as tools that allow web surfers to
easily share information on another platform, such as a social media platform. At other times,
information from a third party may be embedded on our site, such as a map or information
streaming from another site, including communications streaming from a third party social media
platform. These widgets, tools, and informational items often function through the use of third
party cookies utilized by the third party site, such as the social media platform. You may wish to
review information at third party sites, such as social media platforms where you have an
account, to determine how these third parties treat data that they obtain through the use of
cookies.
Do You Have to Accept Cookies?
You may be able to set your browser to reject browser cookies. However, if you choose to reject
cookies, you cannot access your accounts online with Seacoast. Therefore, if you set your
browser options to disallow cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you
visit our Site. The latest versions of internet browsers provide cookie management tools, such as
the ability to delete or reject cookies. We recommend that you refer to information supplied by
browser providers for more specific information, including on how to use these tools.
Additional Technologies
We may also use additional technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and clear GIFs, and
may permit our third party service providers to use these technologies. We use these
technologies for purposes such as measuring the effectiveness of our advertisements or other
communications, determining viewing and response rates, and determining which offers to
present to you on our own or on third party sites.
Using Information
In addition to the uses described above, we use information for purposes as allowed by law such
as: servicing; communicating with you; improving our Site, products, or services; legal
compliance; risk control; information security; anti-fraud purposes; marketing or personalizing
the presentation of our products and services to you; tracking website usage, such as number of
hits, pages visited, and the length of user sessions in order to evaluate the usefulness of our sites;
and we also use read-receipt notifications in our email communications.
Sharing
We may share information with service providers with whom we work, such as data processors
and companies that help us market products and services to you. When permitted or required by
law, we may share information with additional third parties for purposes including response to
legal process. As applicable, please see the additional privacy policies referenced above, such as
the Seacoast Consumer Privacy Notice, for more information on how we may share information
with affiliates and third parties.
