Information Collection, Use (including cookies) and Storage
Users of FHLBank Pittsburgh's Site may choose whether or not to provide their email addresses or any other contact information to FHLBank Pittsburgh. FHLBank Pittsburgh does not require that users provide this information to access the content of FHLBank Pittsburgh's Site.
Generally, FHLBank Pittsburgh does not collect personal identification information (“User Information”), other than email addresses provided by users of FHLBank Pittsburgh's Site. FHLBank Pittsburgh may use such User Information to communicate with or register users for an event. If applicable, and such information has been provided to us by you to FHLBank Pittsburgh, we also use name, title, organization, address, phone and fax numbers to communicate with you. Where users have requested via the Site to receive updates from FHLBank Pittsburgh (for example, newsletters), FHLBank Pittsburgh retains the User Information. This information is maintained by FHLBank Pittsburgh employees who need to know this information to perform their job duties and is not made accessible to other FHLBank Pittsburgh employees. This User Information is not shared with any other parties except as otherwise stated in this policy.
Your Internet Protocol ("IP") address or domain name may be used to analyze this Site's traffic patterns and usage, to help diagnose problems with the server, and to otherwise improve performance of the Site. While an IP address generally changes each time you use the Internet (it's a dynamic address) if you use a broadband connection to access FHLBank Pittsburgh's Site, it is possible that the IP address that we collect could be identifiable. The reason for this is that with some broadband connections, the IP address doesn't change (it's static) and could be associated with your personal computer. Google Analytics is also used on the site to help FHLBank Pittsburgh analyze traffic to the website. For information about how Google uses data through this technology, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Website logs may be analyzed and reviewed (including review by third parties as referenced below), but are not sold or transferred to third parties. As part of this process, FHLBank Pittsburgh's web server does not write persistent cookies (small files) to your hard-drive; FHLBank Pittsburgh may, however, use persistent cookies for the limited purpose of providing customized information to its customers as part of a members-only feature. Memory-resident (transient) cookies may also be used for the duration of the time you are navigating the Site. These cookies will be released from memory when you close your browser. From time to time, this Site may contain items such as user surveys or training information. The information you provide on surveys and in response to promotions on our Site will be used for internal marketing purposes, including developing website information and additional products and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may inform you of new products and services from FHLBank Pittsburgh based on the information you provide to us.

This website may use social media plugins (e.g., “Like” button to connect you to FHLBank Pittsburgh's Facebook page and other third-party social media websites and/or applications) to enable you to connect with FHLBank Pittsburgh in addition to your use of the public website. When you visit our website, the operator of the social plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our site. If you are logged into a social media website (e.g., Facebook, X, Google+) while browsing on our website, the social plugins allow that social media website to receive information that you have visited our website. FHLBank Pittsburgh does not control any of the content from the social media plugins, and thus FHLBank Pittsburgh's privacy policy and terms of use do not apply to those social media websites. For more information about social plugins from other social media websites you should refer to those sites' privacy and data sharing statements.
