We understand the importance of protecting the privacy of
our members. As such, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of
each member's financial records consistent with state and federal laws. The
following sets forth our policies regarding our use and protection of your
financial information.
During the course of business we collect nonpublic personal
information about your from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications or other forms;
- Information we obtain when verifying the information we receive from you;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others;
and
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency.
Generally, we may share all information we collect about you as described
above, with non-affiliated third parties to complete transactions and maintain
accounts and related records (such as data processing transactions and records).
We may also share such information with select non-affiliated third parties
if:
- You request or authorize it;
- The information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by
you;
- The information is provided to a consumer reporting agency in accordance
with the Fair Credit Reporting Act; or
- The disclosure otherwise is lawfully required or
permitted.
Also, we may enter into agreements with other businesses to provide support
or services to us or for one or more of our products, such as mailing houses
that assist us in delivering your statements and other promotional materials.
Under certain circumstances we may also enter into joint marketing agreements
with other financial service providers, such as mortgage bankers, securities
broker-dealers, and insurance companies and agents. Before entering into relationships
with such entities, we require them to agree to safeguard our member's information
and to comply with all applicable privacy laws.
Furthermore, we may also disclose nonpublic personal information, about you
to other nonaffiliated and affiliated third parties not described above as
permitted by law and by our policies.
Because of the limited way we share information with nonaffiliated third parties,
we are not required to provide you with the opportunity to opt-out from the
disclosure of information to nonaffiliated third parties.
If you decide to terminate your membership or become an inactive member, we
will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described in this notice.
Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( "FCRA" ), it is the Credit
Union's practice to share Transaction/Experience Information (as defined by
the FCRA) with its affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties to the extent
permitted by law.
We restrict access to your personal and account information to those employees
who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. Our
employees access information about you when needed to administer your accounts,
to provide requested services, or in response to a legally valid outside request
or order (such as a subpoena). In addition, our employees may also access information
to exercise our rights under the law or pursuant to any agreement with you.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information.
We strive to ensure that our records contain accurate information about you.
If you see any inaccuracies in your statements, please call (310) 252-4545.
We will promptly investigate and make any necessary changes to update your
records.
We reserve the right to revise our policy as our business needs change or as
the law requires. If we revise our policies, we will provide our active members
with copies of our new policies at that time.

children and is therefore not subject to Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act (COPPA).
