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 any questions, please contact a member service representative at (909) 682-1555.

We are committed to providing you with competitive products and services to meet your financial needs, which necessitates that we share information about you to complete your transactions and to provide you with certain financial opportunities. In certain to do so, 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 your instructions as you authorize, or protect the security records.

And we may also disclose all the information we collect, as described below, to companies that perform marketing or 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 agree to maintain strong confidentiality protections and limit the use of information we provide. We do not permit these companies to sell to other third parties the information we provide to them.
