Children’s Online Privacy Protection Statement

This Children’s Online Privacy disclosure is provided in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (16 CFR Part 312). This disclosure is specifically directed to parents and guardians of minors under 13 years of age.

Nevada Federal Credit Union recognizes our obligation to keep member information secure and confidential, especially for children under the age of 13. This obligation is very important to us. The guidelines below describe our continued commitment to protect the personal and financial information of our members and web site users under age 13. We reserve the right to make changes to our privacy guidelines whenever warranted to further protect our young members’ personal and financial information.

Internet Browsers and Online IDs

We have taken all appropriate measures to ensure that our web site and home banking product is secure, and that our young members’ personal and account information remains private. Our young and adult members also play a role in protecting their Credit Union account information. Your (and their) online banking Account ID and Password should be provided only when your (or their) browser shows a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) session is taking place. Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encode (scramble) account information between computers, so that it is virtually impossible to be read by others. We recommend that all our members, young and adult, use a current version of browser software so that they may benefit from the most up to date Internet security available. After you or your child finish any web site session that included viewing or sending private information you (or they) should close the browser window.

Computer “Cookies”

A “cookie” is a small text file placed on your hard drive by a web server. “Cookies” are commonly used on web sites and do not harm your computer system. We use cookies to provide a more interactive and helpful web site, and to customize the information you see. You can control how a cookie will be handled (accepted or rejected) on your computer by configuring your preferences or options in your browser software. We use cookies for administration purposes of our web site. We never combine information collected through a cookie to e-mail you, or to gain confidential account information.

Collecting and Using Young-Member Information

For our internal use, we collect the following information about children under 13 as we do for adults:

  • Information we receive from you or the child on applications and other forms, such as name, address, social security number, assets, and income; and
  • Information about the child’s transactions with us, such as account balances, deposits and withdrawals, parties to transactions, and credit card usage; and
  • Information we receive from consumer reporting agencies, such as credit worthiness and credit history (if applicable).

Any information we collect is used to service our member accounts, and to help us learn more about the financial products or services they would be interested in. Collecting information from our web site helps us provide better products and services. We do gather and analyze data regarding usage of our web site, including domain name, number of page hits, pages visited, length of user session, time of day, day of week, etc., to evaluate and improve our web site.

As provided by law, we are prohibited from collecting more information than is reasonably necessary for the purposes stated in this Children’s Online Privacy Policy. In addition, you as the child’s parent or guardian can review the child’s information we have collected, have us delete it, and/or refuse to permit further collection or use of the child’s information. To do so, contact us by any of the methods shown at the end of this Children’s Online Privacy Policy. Please understand that if you have us delete all information on your child, we will be unable to continue to maintain or service your child’s account and the account will have to be closed.

We restrict access to protected information to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to the minor. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect the child’s information.

If the child chooses to close their account(s) with us or becomes an inactive member, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this statement.

Web Site Calculating and/or Planning Tools

To help our members with financial decisions, various planning or calculating tools are provided on our web site. Example of this would be our “How Much House Can I Afford” calculator. We do not capture the personal information the child may provide on these planning tools.

Links from Our Web Site

We cannot control the content of other Internet sites. Links from our web site are intended to serve as a benefit to our members and are offered on an as is basis. We are not responsible for accuracy, security, or content of site links. We encourage our members to view privacy and security disclosures on all web sites they visit.

E-mail Address Collection

In order to serve the young member better we may ask her or him to provide us with an e-mail address. E-mail address information is necessary to manage our account database. We assure you that the e-mail address the child submits won’t be sold or shared with any other party outside the Credit Union unless we are compelled to do so by law. On occasion we may contact the child at the e-mail address they’ve provided, if we have product or service information to share that may be of potential benefit.

Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

When the child e-mails us, we safeguard the content of the e-mail, e-mail address, and our response, so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet any legal and/or regulatory requirements. E-mail is outside our Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and therefore we recommend our members do not send confidential information via e-mail. Nevada Federal’s e-mail response back to the sender will not include confidential account information.

Sharing or Selling Account Information

To assist us in offering services to members, we may at times choose to share information with companies that work for us, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. These companies might, for example, assist us in how best to offer members, including young members, certain products or services. If information is shared, these companies act on our behalf and are obligated to keep the information that we provide to them confidential. We do not sell personal account information.

Member Surveys

Finding out what our members’ needs are, and checking on how we’re doing in fulfilling those needs, is very important to us. At times we will ask that the young member complete a mail-in or online survey. All surveys and the information the child might provide are optional. We use the information gathered to improve our products and services. Never do we sell or disclose survey information to companies not working for us.

Online Applications

All of our online applications are transmitted to us using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. When you and your child use an online application to apply for a loan, information may be sharedwith a credit bureau before a loan decision can be made.

Contacting Us About the Child’s Account

Keeping account information accurate and up to date is very important. We will make corrections to account information as quickly as possible. If you ever find that information regarding the child’s account is inaccurate or not current, please let us know.

We use various ways to offer services and products to our members, including young members. The child can choose not to receive offers made by mail, telephone or e-mail, and you may choose for us to not share your child’s personal or account information. Whatever the preferences of you or your child, we will respect your and their request. You have the option to consent to the collection and use of your child’s personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that information to third parties.

Please let us know if you would like further information on how, what or why we collect and use information from minors under age 13.
