Does First Century Bank Track You?

What First Century Bank collects instead

No tracking does not mean no collection. First Century Bank's label lists 8 data types, and financial info, contacts, user content, contact info, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics are linked to your identity:

• Financial Info — card numbers, bank details, credit scores, salary, income, assets or debts (linked to you)
• Location — where your phone is, either precisely (street level) or approximately (city or area) (not linked to you)
• Contacts — the people in your address book or social graph (linked to you)
• User Content — messages, photos, videos, audio recordings, documents and support chats you create or upload (linked to you)
• Contact Info — your name, email address, phone number or postal address (linked to you)
• Identifiers — an account ID, screen name, customer number or a device-level ID such as the advertising identifier (linked to you)
• Usage Data — what you tap, open and view inside the app, plus which ads you have seen (linked to you)
• Diagnostics — crash logs, launch times, hang rates and energy use (linked to you)

How to stop First Century Bank from tracking you

1. When First Century Bank shows the tracking prompt, tap Ask App Not to Track.
2. Already said yes? Open Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and switch off the toggle next to First Century Bank.
3. To refuse every app in one go, switch off Allow Apps to Request to Track on the same screen. Apps then cannot ask, and are treated as if you declined.
4. For Apple's own ads in the App Store, News and Stocks, see Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising and turn off Personalised Ads.
5. Inside First Century Bank, look for an analytics or personalised-ads switch in its own settings; it covers data the iOS switch does not.
