IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL PRIVACY

Financial Partners Credit Union understands 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. This notice explains how the Credit Union collects and shares your “nonpublic personal information” (personal information that is not available publicly) and further describes your rights to limit what information we share with you.

This privacy notice replaces any previous privacy notices from us. We reserve the right to revise our privacy notice as our business needs and practices 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.

Information We Collect and Share to Conduct our Business. During the course of business, we collect nonpublic personal information (“information”) about you from the following sources:

• Information that you provide to us in person, in writing, or through the Internet.
• Information obtained through your transactions and experiences with us.
• Information we receive from nonaffiliated third parties about their transaction and experiences with you.
• Information provided by credit reporting agencies and similar companies.

We collect this information about you to complete your transactions and to maintain your accounts and related records. In the course of conducting our business, we may share any of this information we collect about you with third parties if: 1) you request or authorize it; 2) the information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by you; 3) the information is provided to a third party providing services to us, such as data processing, printing services, mailing services, and marketing services; 4) the information is provided to a consumer reporting agency in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act; or 5) the disclosure is otherwise lawfully required or permitted. Furthermore, we may also disclose information about you to other nonaffiliated and affiliated third parties not described in this notice as permitted by law.

Information Shared Within the Credit Union. We restrict access to your information to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. Our employees may also access your 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 information.

Information Shared with Non-Financial Service Providers. We sometimes share any of the information we collect about you with outside companies that perform services for us. For example, to maintain and service your accounts or to fulfill your transaction requests, we share information with non-financial companies that provide services to us, such as data-processing companies, printing companies, mailing companies and marketing companies. Prior to sharing any information with such entities, we require them to agree to safeguard our members’ information and to comply with all applicable privacy laws.

Information Shared with Financial Service Providers. In addition, to offer you a wider array of financial products and services, we may enter into joint marketing agreements with other financial institutions such as insurance agents and the financial institution that provides credit cards branded with our name and logo. We never give these financial institutions your account numbers. Prior to sharing any information with such entities, we require them to agree to safeguard our members’ information and to comply with applicable privacy laws. However, if you do not wish for us to share any of your information under these joint marketing arrangements, you have the right to opt-out of such information-sharing as explained below in the section entitled “Your Right to Opt-out.”

Information Sharing in the Event of Termination of Membership. If you terminate your membership or become an inactive member, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described in this notice.

Your Right to Opt-out. We understand that there are certain third parties with whom you do not wish for us to share your information. If you do not wish for us to share your information with our affiliate and or those financial service providers with whom we have joint marketing agreements, you have the right to opt-out at any time.
