elected board of directors. You can be confident that your financial
privacy is a top priority of this credit union. JCFCU is required by

JCFCU is committed to providing you with competitive products and
services to meet your financial needs, which necessitates that we
share information about you to complete our transactions and to

we have entered into agreements with other companies that provide
either services to us or additional financial products for you to
consider. If you prefer that we not disclose information about you to
certain businesses, you may "opt out" of these disclosures;
that is, you may direct us not to disclose information about you, as
explained in this notice. This "opt out" will not apply to
information that we may disclose about you as permitted or required by
law. These disclosures typically include information to process
transactions on our behalf, conduct the operations of JCFCU, follow
your instructions as you authorize or protect the security of JCFCU's
financial records.
And we may also disclose all the information we collect, as
described below, to companies that perform marketing or other services
on our behalf or to other financial institutions with whom we have
joint marketing agreements.
To protect our members' privacy, we only work with companies that

of information we provide. All business partners and approved vendors
have entered into written agreements with us not to disclose any of
our members' information and to use this information for the sole
purpose of providing financial products and services or assistance in
the completion of ongoing financial services. We do not permit these
companies to sell to other third parties the information that we
provide to them.

services or products to the membership, in order to perform their
ongoing duties and in compliance with all federal and state
regulations. The JCFCU has safeguards in place to protect our members'
personal (nonpublic) information. These include strict procedural
safeguards, electronic safeguards, and physical safeguards. All

INTERNET
We use encryption/security software to safeguard the
confidentiality of personal information we collect from you.
Cryptography scrambles messages exchanged between your browser and our
online site.
When you go to the sign-on page for online banking, your browser
establishes a secure session with our server. The secure session is
established using a protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Encryption.
SSL requires the exchange of what are called public and private
keys. Keys are random numbers chosen for that session and are only
known by your browser and our server. After the keys are exchanged,
your browser will use the numbers to scramble (encrypt) the messages
sent between your browser and our server. Both sides require the keys,
as the keys are needed to de-scramble (decrypt) the messages when they
are received. The SSL protocol not only ensures privacy but also
ensures that no other browser can impersonate your browser, nor alter
any information sent. You can tell whether your browser is in a secure
mode by looking for the secured lock symbol at the bottom of your
browser.
Cookies: A cookie is a way a web site recognizes whether
you previously visited the site and is a piece of data given to a
browser by a web server, so that the browser will hand the data
back to the server on subsequent visits.
Visitors to our web site remain anonymous. We do not collect
personal identifying information about visitors to our site. We
do, however, automatically collect certain standard
non-identifying information about visits to our site, such as the
date and time of your visit, the Internet provider address you
were assigned, city, state and country and the pages that you
access on our web site. This information is used to compile
standard statistics on site usage. For members accessing our Home
Branch we will collect, use and retain only the personal
information that we believe is necessary to help provide you our
products, services and other opportunities to you.
Our Home Branch server is not directly connected to the Internet.
The data that is transmitted to and from the server must first pass
through a firewall. A firewall is a hardware or software device that
monitors network traffic and blocks inappropriate connections to other
computers on a network.
Email you send us may not be secure unless you access us via one of
our secure online services. For that reason, do not send us
confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers
through an unsecured Email. If you provide us identifying information
in an Email (e.g., name and address), this information will only be
used to communicate with you and to handle your request. This
information is not sold or transferred to other parties.
We do not knowingly collect, maintain or use personal information
from our web site about children nor do we market any of our products
to children. In addition, our web site is not designed for use by
children.
