Your trust is our priority.
The Corning Credit Union Privacy Policy details our practices for collecting, using, and protecting member information. We are committed to securing your financial data, explaining our data handling methods, and outlining the security measures and choices available to you regarding your personal information.
At Corning Credit Union, we understand that the privacy of your personal and financial information is paramount. Our commitment extends beyond regulatory compliance; it is foundational to the trust you place in us as your financial partner. We are dedicated to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your data across all interactions, whether in person, over the phone, or through our digital platforms.
This dedication means we employ strict internal policies and procedures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We believe that transparency about our privacy practices is crucial, ensuring you are fully informed about how your data is handled and protected by Corning Credit Union. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind regarding the security of your financial life.
Corning Credit Union collects various types of information to provide you with financial services, manage your accounts, and fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. This includes information you provide directly, such as your name, address, Social Security number, and account details when you apply for a loan or open an account. We also collect transaction information, such as account balances, payment history, and parties to transactions.
We use this information primarily to service your accounts, process transactions, and offer you relevant financial products and services. For example, your credit history helps us evaluate loan applications, and contact information allows us to communicate important account updates. We adhere to strict guidelines regarding the use of your data, ensuring it aligns with our commitment to your privacy and applicable laws, such as those outlined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Corning Credit Union implements extensive security measures to safeguard your personal and financial information. These measures include physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. Our facilities are secured, and access to member data is restricted to employees who need the information to perform their job functions. Electronically, we use encryption, firewalls, and multi-factor authentication to protect our systems and your online interactions.
"Your financial security is our priority. We continuously review and update our security protocols to stand against evolving threats and ensure the integrity of your data."
You also have choices regarding your information. You can opt out of certain information sharing practices, particularly with non-affiliated third parties, as permitted by law. We provide clear instructions on how to exercise these choices, often through forms or direct contact with our member service representatives. Understanding your rights and options is crucial, and we encourage you to review our full privacy notice for complete details on how to manage your preferences and protect your personal financial information. Further details on data protection principles can be found from organizations like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
