Privacy Policy
The protection of our members' privacy and the safekeeping of confidential information is of utmost concern to the Credit Union. It is the Credit Union's intent to comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the treatment of both member and non-member information, and educate our members as to their privacy rights under law. This policy outlines the purposes for which member information will be collected and released outside of the Credit Union.
Information Collected
The Credit Union will only collect that information necessary to establish an ongoing relationship with members and joint account holders. Information on an individual member may be collected from a variety of sources, including the member's signature card, loan application and credit bureaus. Furthermore, the Credit Union will take reasonable precautions to protect the accuracy and reliability of member information.
Information Shared with Affiliates and Third Parties
The Credit Union will not sell nonpublic personal information on its members to any third party. The Credit Union may disclose nonpublic personal information about an individual member or members with member consent, in order to effect a transaction, to protect the Credit Union's interests, or for other purposes permitted by law and regulation.
Third Party Privacy Standards
The Credit Union will only disclose nonpublic personal information about its members to affiliates and third parties who demonstrate a consistent commitment to the protection of the confidentiality of member information, and who have adopted privacy policies comparable to those adopted by the Credit Union.
Security and Confidentiality
As part of the Credit Union's commitment to protect the confidentiality of member account information, the Credit Union will establish procedures for periodically training staff on the importance of member privacy and the Credit Union's privacy policy. Staff will only be permitted to access member account information when necessary for business reasons. Finally, the Credit Union will establish appropriate security standards to protect against unauthorized access to member information.
Availability of Policy
The Credit Union is proud of its commitment to member confidentiality, and will make this policy available to any consumer requesting it.
CIP Notice
The Credit Union will notify new members and customers about the Credit Union's CIP policy by any or all of the following: lobby notice, oral notification, notice posted on the website, on the account agreement and by adding language to the existing disclosure documents.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
