institution, is committed to providing you financial products and
services to meet your needs and reach your financial goals. We are
equally committed to protecting our member’s privacy. You

credit union. We are required by law to give you this privacy notice
to explain how we collect, use and safeguard your personal financial
information.
Information We Collect And Disclose About You
We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following
sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications and other forms;
- Information about your transactions with us or others;
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency;
- Information obtained when verifying the information you provide
on an application or other forms. This may be obtained from your
current or past employers, or from other institutions where you
conduct financial transactions.
We may disclose all of the information we collect, as described
above, to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf
or to other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing
agreements. To protect our member’s privacy, we only work
with companies that agree to maintain strong confidentiality protections
and limit the use of information we provide. We do not permit these
companies to sell the member information we provide to them.
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our
members and former members to anyone, except as permitted by law.
How We Protect Your Information
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to
those employees who need to know that information to provide products
or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your non-public
personal information.
What You Can Do to Help Protect Your Privacy
NODA Federal Credit Union is committed to protecting the privacy
of its members. Members can help by following these simple guidelines:
- Protect your account numbers, card numbers, PINs (personal
identification numbers) and passwords. Never keep your PIN with
your debit or credit card which can provide free access to your
accounts if your card is lost are stolen.
- Use caution when disclosing your account numbers, social security
numbers, etc. to other persons. If someone calls you, explains
the call is on behalf of the credit union and asks for your account
number, you should beware. Official credit union staff will have
access to your information and will not need to ask for it.
- Keep your information with us current. It is important that
we have current information on how to reach you. If we detect
potentially fraudulent or unauthorized activity or use of an account,
we will attempt to contact your immediately. If your address or
phone number changes, please let us know.
- Only give your Social Security number when it’s absolutely
necessary. Ask if you can use another type of identifier, such
as a driver’s license, instead.
- Call 888-567-8688 to stop unsolicited credit card offers in
the mail. Have your name removed from prescreened lists from the
big three credit bureaus – Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian.
This should reduce the number of offers.
- Order a copy of your credit report from a couple different
credit-reporting agencies every year. Here’s a list of the
three national credit bureaus: Experian 800-682-7654, Equifax
800-685-1111, and Trans Union 800-888-4213. Verify that your credit
report is accurate and that it includes only activities you’ve
authorized.
- Keep items with personal information in a safe place and either
tear them up or shred them when you don’t need them anymore.
- Remove your name from many national mailing lists by writing
to the Direct Marketing Association’s Mail Preference Service,
P/O/ Box 9008, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008. Include your name,
address, and phone number with your request to be taken off mass
mailing lists.
- Consider the information you’re supplying on an entry
to win a car, shopping spree, and so on. In order to win, some
information – such as about your age or income range –
usually is not necessary. The next time you’re filling out
an entry form or even a product registration form; think about
who gets that information and what they do with it. This is not
to say you shouldn’t enter to win a car or a $1 million
giveaway – but it’s not always necessary to fill in
every blank line.
If you have questions concerning this notice, please do not hesitate
to call us – we are here to serve you.
