PRIVACY POLICY DISCLOSURE 120409

Protect your account numbers, plastic card numbers; personal identification numbers (PINs) or passwords. Never keep your PIN with your card. The PIN can provide unauthorized 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 explaining 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. If your address or phone number changes, please let us know. 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.
