Section 1610
FINANCIAL RECORDS PRIVACY POLICY
General Policy Statement: Hamilton Horizons Federal
Credit Union has a duty to protect the confidential nature of non-public
personal information our members provide regarding their financial
transactions with us. Except as provided in our agreement with our
members, reporting to a credit reporting agency regarding a member's
loans and accounts or as permitted or required by applicable state
or federal law, the Credit Union will not release member non-public
personal information to any person. To develop, implement and revise
this policy, as needed, the board of directors appoints Cindy Rein
Zima, CEO, as the Financial Privacy Coordinator.
The Financial Privacy Coordinator is responsible
for the development and maintenance of procedures that insure the
Credit Union's compliance with the obligations described in this
policy. In this regard, the Financial Privacy Coordinator will insure
that the Credit Union develops procedures that safeguard the security
and confidentiality of member information: protect against any anticipated
threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records:
and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records
or information that would result in substantial harm or inconvenience
to any member.
The Financial Privacy Coordinator will access,
control and manage any risk that may threaten the security, confidentiality
or integrity of member information systems.
The Financial Privacy Coordinator is responsible
to ensure that the Credit Union staff receives appropriate training
to recognize and respond to any unauthorized attempts to obtain
member information. Also a program will be developed that regularly
tests all key controls, systems and procedures.
The Financial Privacy Coordinator will also insure
the Credit Union's compliance with the following matters:
A. Telephone consumer Protection Act
The Credit Union will tell members how to remove
their names from telemarketing and mailing lists when they open
an account.
B. Fair Credit Reporting Act
Members should know that the Credit Union is permitted
by the Fair Credit Reporting Act to share the following types of
information with our affiliated companies:
-
Identification information.
-
Transactional information.
-
Account experience (e.g., checking and loan
accounts).
C. Right to Financial Privacy Act
The Right to Financial Privacy Act establishes
specific procedures that federal government authorities must follow
when seeking member records. The Credit Union's employees will follow
those procedures when a federal agency requests member financial
information. (See section 9330 of the Credit Union's Policy Manual).
D. Internet and Electronic Banking Privacy
Policies
The Credit Union does not collect information
about visitors to our website. The applications and transactions
