What we do

How does SFCU protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with all federal regulations to protect your nonpublic personal information.

How does SFCU collect my personal information?

We collect your personal information, for example, when you

  • Open an account or apply for a loan
  • Use your credit or VISA Debit/Check Card or pay your bills
  • Provide employment information

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

Federal law gives you the right to limit only

  • Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness
  • Affiliates from using your information to market to you
  • Sharing for non-affiliates to market to you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
