Privacy Policy



At Silicon Valley Bank, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your non-public personal information. Our goal is to help you understand how we collect and use the information you provide to us. Whether you are a current or former customer, our practices are the same. This Privacy Policy applies to all companies under the common control of SVB Financial Group ("we," "our," "us," or "affiliates"), unless an affiliate uses their own Privacy Policy. Some of these companies provide a range of consumer products and services, such as loans, deposits, investments, and credit card services.

Highlights

  • Your non-public personal information is confidential
  • Information security is a top priority at Silicon Valley Bank
  • We do not sell information to third parties
  • We do not share your non-public personal information with outside parties except as permitted or required by law

Collection of Information

We may collect non-public, personal information about you in the following manner:

How We Protect and Use Customer Information

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to secure your non-public personal information. We only grant access to non-public, personally identifiable information about our customers to employees of Silicon Valley Bank, its affiliates, and third party service providers contracted to assist in the servicing of your accounts. All third party service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. We will only disclose this information as permitted or compelled to do so by law.

We do not currently share information about you that would trigger an opt-out responsibility, so there is no need for you to opt out at this time. Should that change, we will notify you in advance and provide you with the opportunity to opt out of the disclosure of your information.
