June 14, 2007
Latah Federal Credit Union is committed to
making available financial products and services that will enable
our members to meet their financial needs and reach their financial
goals. Protecting personal information and using it in a manner
consistent with your expectations is a high priority for everyone
associated with our credit union. The following privacy principles
were established to maintain the security, integrity and confidentiality
of your personal financial information. We are required by law
to give you this privacy notice to explain how we collect, use
and safeguard your personal financial information. If you have
any questions, please contact a member service representative at

THE TYPE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We routinely collect and retain the information we
obtain from your account applications, transaction history (for
deposits, loans, credit cards, etc.) and from consumer reports.
This information helps us:
To establish and administer your accounts. (Example:
We ask for personally identifying information to protect your accounts
from fraud.)
To satisfy certain regulatory requirements. (Example: When you open
an account that pays interest, we are required by the Internal Revenue Service
to obtain your social security number.)
Better understand you so that we may provide you with
additional or improved products and services. (Example: We require
information concerning your credit history and your assets to determine if you
qualify for loan approval.)
However, we will NOT ask for or to confirm confidential information, such as user names, passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers or account numbers by email. You should call the credit union if you receive email of this nature that appears to be sent to you from us.
We do not share the nonpublic personal information
of our current or previous members and nonmember customers with affiliates
or nonaffiliated third parties except as permitted or required
by law.
HOW IS THAT INFORMATION PROTECTED?
Access to your personally identifiable financial
information is limited to employees with a specific business
reason for utilizing this data. Our employees are educated about
the importance of maintaining confidentiality and member privacy.
If necessary, we take appropriated disciplinary steps to enforce
our employees’ responsibility
to protect your very personal information.
In order to prevent unauthorized access to your information we
maintain security standards and procedures that conform with applicable
regulations and industry practices. These security standards and
procedures are routinely tested to verify the integrity of our
systems.
If you terminate your membership or become an inactive
member, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices
as described in this notice.
