WE RECOMMEND YOU PRINT AND RETAIN A COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS Countryside FCU Privacy Statement Countryside Federal Credit Union Privacy Statement In recognition of our members' expectation of privacy, Countryside Federal Credit Union has adopted the following privacy statement. Countryside will collect only the personal information that is necessary to conduct our business. That means just what is necessary to provide competitive financial products and services - no more. We may gather general information about members browsing our Internet site countryside.org and using countrysidefcu.net. This enables us to track how visitors navigage through the site and the areas in which they show interest. Countryside will protect your personal information. We will maintain security controls to ensure that member information stored on our premises and in our files and computers is protected. Where appropriate, we will use security-coding techniques to protect against unauthorized access to personal records, ensure accuracy and integrity of communications and transactions, and protect member confidentiality. Restrictions on the Disclosure of Account Information Countryside Federal Credit Union will not disclose confidential member information outside the credit union unless:
Within Countryside, the credit union requires that confidential information be safeguarded at all times and be used only for legitimate business purposes on a "need to know" basis. The credit union takes measures to limit employee access to confidential information and makes every effort to ensure that financial information is maintained in an accurate and up-to-date manner. We educate our employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy through standard operating procedures and from time to time special training programs. Member Choice The credit union will occasionally inform members of new products and services via email, mail or telephone. If a member wishes to opt out of these offers, Countryside will attempt to honor that request. Simply notify the credit union of your wish, and you will be excluded from future offers. Maintaining Member Privacy in Our Business Relationships The credit union will not sell or share member personal information with a third party for the third party's own independent use. However, Countryside occasionally contracts with outside vendors and other business partners to perform specific services for the credit union. We require these vendors to honor and safeguard the information we provide them and to follow strict confidentiality requirements.
