Online, Mobile, and Digital Privacy

 

MMFCU is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative. We exist to enrich the lives of our members and provide members with peace of mind. As you should expect, the privacy of your personal financial information is extremely important to us. We take significant steps to protect your privacy so we can maintain your trust.

 

The information in MMFCU’s Privacy Policy explains our policies for using and protecting the personal financial information you entrust to us during the application for or servicing of one of our products or services. 

 

Online Privacy Statement

This Online Privacy Statement (“Statement”) applies to MMFCU’s webpages, MMFCU-branded social media sites, mobile applications, digital banking applications, and digital advertising campaigns, collectively referred to as a “digital property.”  This Statement does not address the privacy practices of any third parties that we do not own or control. By visiting and/or using our digital property, you are agreeing to the terms of this Statement.

 

MMFCU is a United States-based financial cooperative serving a U.S.-based target market. Our web and digital properties do not intentionally target children under the age 13 without parental consent. In addition to the privacy practices described within this Statement and MMFCU’s Privacy Policy, social media sites may have their own privacy policies that you should understand prior to using their services to interact with MMFCU on those sites.

 

Information Collection

When using a MMFCU digital property we may collect three categories of information about you.

 

Personal Information: We may collect personally identifiable information about you such as your name, address, phone numbers, email address, or other information that identifies you. This includes information you provide via applications, forms, or other means of collection. We may ask your permission before collecting additional information from you (such as information about your contacts).

 

Non-public Information: Through your interactions with us, such as applying for a product or service, we may collect non-public information about you such as your Social Security number, tax identification number, driver’s license number, financial account information, MMFCU username and password, and other types of non-public information.

 

Online Behavior: We may collect information about the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device(s) you use to access MMFCU’s digital properties; other information about your device, operating system, and browser type; referral website information; your digital property usage and page views; and aggregate or non-personally identifiable information. We may ask your permission before collecting certain information (such as precise geo-location information).

 

These categories of information may be collected by MMFCU, or by our third-party service providers, through use of cookies and other technologies, to associate your online use of our digital properties and/or with offline personally identifiable information.

 

We may use information collected from a MMFCU digital property to acquire additional information about you from our marketing partners or service providers. For example, when you apply for membership or for a financial product or service, we may use the Social Security number you provided online to access a consumer report which may contain a credit score and information about your creditworthiness to determine if you meet our underwriting guidelines.

 

When interacting with MMFCU on a digital platform that is not owned by MMFCU such as a social media site, never include sensitive personal or non-public information. Communications with MMFCU about your application, membership, and accounts with us should only take place in a secure MMFCU channel such as MMFCU’s Digital Banking website or mobile application, or by phone with a MMFCU employee. Social media sites are not an appropriate place to conduct or discuss your financial transactions. 

 

Information Usage

We may use the information we collect online, along with information which we pair it with offline, to:

 

·         process transactions initiated by you

·         perform everyday business tasks such as data analytics, digital property experience optimization, fraud prevention, security enhancements, or product and service improvements

We may also share your information as permitted or required by law.
