Other Important Information
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. We also restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees and volunteers who need to know the information to provide products or services to you.
We collect your personal information, for example, when you
- open an account or apply for a loan
- apply for any credit union service
- visit our website, provide us information on any online application or transaction, or information you send to us by email
- use your credit or debit card or pay your bills
- make deposits to or withdrawals from your accounts
We also collect your personal information from others, including credit bureaus or other companies.
Our online and mobile banking app periodically collects, transmits, and uses geolocation information to support features that prevent fraudulent card use and alerts, but only if you expressly authorize collection of such information. You may choose whether geolocation information can be monitored on a continuous basis in the background, only while the app is being used, or not at all. You can change your location permissions at any time in your device settings.
Federal law only gives you the right to limit information sharing as follows:
- sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes—information about your creditworthiness
- affiliates from using your information to market to you
- sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you
State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
Affiliates: Companies related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.
- Sound Credit Union does not have any affiliates
Nonaffiliates: Companies not related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.
- Sound Credit Union does not share with nonaffiliates so they can market to you, except for our joint marketing arrangements.
Joint marketing: A formal agreement between Sound Credit Union and a nonaffiliated financial company where we jointly market financial products or services to you.
- Our joint marketing partners include providers of investment and financial services and insurance companies.
