The Allegheny Valley Federal Credit Union is committed to making available financial products and services that will enable you to meet your financial needs and reach your 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.
Our members also have a responsibility to safeguard their financial information.
To ensure that our members can rely upon the quality of products and services the Credit Union makes available, our Credit Union stands behind the following privacy policy:
The Credit Union will collect only the personal information that is necessary to conduct business. That means just what is necessary to provide competitive financial products and services.
The Credit Union will protect your personal information. The Credit Union will maintain strong security controls to ensure that member information in the files and computers is protected. Where appropriate, we will use security coding techniques to protect against unauthorized access to personal records, ensure accuracy and integrity of communications and transactions, and protect member confidentiality.
The member will always have access to their information. As a member of the Credit Union, the member will always have the opportunity to review the information and make necessary changes to ensure that the records are complete and accurate.
The Credit Union will only share information when absolutely necessary. The Credit Union will only share information to administer the products and services we provide, when required to do so by the government, or when we partner with other businesses to offer a broader array of products and services.
The Credit Union will partner only with businesses that follow strict confidentiality requirements. The businesses selected will offer products designed to enhance our members’ economic well-being. Under no circumstances will we authorize these firms to charge your account without your express consent, and we will not sell member information to telemarketing firms.
The Credit Union will offer the member a choice in how their information is used. Any member of the Credit Union may elect to keep information from being shared with our business partners. The Credit Union will inform the member on how to exercise their choice, and the Credit Union will take all reasonable steps to make sure the requests are followed. At least once a year, the Credit Union will remind all members of their right to choose.
