Union collects only relevant information about members that is needed
to establish and maintain your account and services as the law allows

a transaction on one of your accounts, including ATM or card transactions,
loan advances, transactions through Internet Banking, over the phone
or at a branch we retain the transaction information, including:
your account number, the date, amount, location of the transaction,
and other pertinent information. Our affiliate may also provide
us with reports on your securities and insurance transactions.

Member Information
We Share. In order to provide financial services to you, we
share certain information about you with our affiliate and third
party service providers. However, we only share information to the
extent necessary to service your account or offer new services to
you. If we share your information, it is with the goal of bringing
you quality services, more choices, and greater convenience. Information
we may have about former members is generally only shared or disclosed
if necessary to enforce or administer an account or as required
by law. |

serve you more efficiently: Our affiliate maintains the same privacy
standards as the Credit Union.
Sharing Information with Third Party Service

We do not sell member information
nor share your account numbers with independent third party marketers
offering their products and services. While we may assist in offering
financial products and services of our affiliate or other financial
service providers, we control the member information used to make
such offers.
Sharing Information as Legally Required or Permitted.
We may share any member information of yours in response to a lawful
request issued by a court, government agency, or regulatory authority
or as permitted by law in order to administer or enforce your account.

Our Confidentiality and Security Safeguards.
We maintain strict policies and security controls to assure that
member information in our computer systems and files is protected.
Our employees are permitted access to member information that they
may need to perform their jobs and to provide service to you. Our
employees have access to such member information as necessary to
conduct a transaction or respond to your inquiries. All employees
are trained to respect member privacy. No one except our employees
has regular access to the Credit Union computer system and records
storage. The Credit Union has established internal security controls,
including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect
the information you provide us and the information we collect about
you. We will continue to review our internal security controls to
safeguard your member information as we employ new technology in
the future.
Online Privacy Protections. At our website,
www.oregonfcu.org, you may apply for accounts and services and you
may communicate with us via email. To protect the information you
provide us online, we use multiple levels of security. The application
information we accept online and our Internet Banking service relies
on industry standard "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) encryption
to secure your transaction information and communication. Generally,
our emails are not secure. However, if we ask you to email us information
other than your name, address, email address and phone number, it
will be obtained using a secure (SSL encryption) email form. When
you visit our website, you can access site information, without
revealing your personal identity. However, in order to help us identify
you for future site visits, we use "cookies" to track
your visit. A "cookie" is a piece of information that
our web server stores on your computer hard drive and retrieves
later. The cookie will not request, require or collect personal
identity information and you remain anonymous. Your member information
is not accessed by or stored within a cookie in any way.
Protecting Children's Information Privacy.
Our online financial services are not designed for or directed toward
children. We do not knowingly solicit or collect data from children
and we do not knowingly market to children online. We recognize
that protecting children's identities and online privacy is important
and that responsibility rests with us and with parents.
