We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

• Information we receive from you on applications and other forms

• Information about your transactions with us or others

• Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency

We may disclose some of the information we collect, as described above, to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions (including but not limited to Insurance Companies and/or Mortgage Loan Brokers & Servicers) with whom we have joint marketing agreements.

To protect our members' privacy, we only work with companies that agree to maintain strong confidentiality protections and limit the use of information we provide.  We do not permit these companies to sell the member information we provide to other third parties. In order to conduct the business of the credit union, we may also disclose personal information about you under other circumstances as permitted or required by law.

These disclosures typically include information to process transactions on your behalf, conduct the operations of our credit union, follow your instructions as you authorize, or protect the security of our financial records.

We will not share information we have collected about you, except as permitted or required by law.

How We Protect Your Information

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who have a specific business purpose in utilizing your data.  Our employees are trained in the importance of maintaining confidentiality and member privacy.  We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations and leading industry practices to safeguard your nonpublic personal information.

What You Can Do to Help Protect Your Privacy

ECU is committed to protecting the privacy of its members.  Members can help by following these simple guidelines:

• Protect your account numbers, card numbers and PINs (personal identification numbers). Never keep your PIN with
  your EZCheck Debit Card or ECU Credit Card, which can provide free access to your accounts, if your card is lost or stolen.

• Use caution when disclosing your account numbers, social security numbers, etc. to other persons. If someone calls you, explains the call is on behalf of the credit union and asks for your account number, you should beware. Official credit union staff will have access to your information and will not need to ask for it.

• Keep your information with us current. It is important that we have current information on how to reach you. If we detect potentially fraudulent or unauthorized activity or use of an account, we will attempt to contact you immediately. If your address or phone number changes, please let us know.

As a member-owner of ECU, all policies governing your credit union are available for your review. If you have questions concerning this notice, please do not hesitate to call us.  We are here to serve you.
