Frequently Asked Privacy Questions
If I complete an application
on the Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit Union web
site, what do you do with this information?
We use this information to complete the request
and/or transaction. We may share personal
information with our business partners in order to
deliver products and services which you have
requested (i.e. to obtain a credit report for a loan
you applied for).
Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit Union will
NOT sell personal information to a third party for
the purpose of solicitation. Information may, from
time to time, be made available on a limited basis
to business partners of Sarasota Municipal Employees
Credit Union, to provide special offers or
promotions of products or services that may be of
interest to particular members, in accordance with
applicable law. Our business partners are carefully
selected and share the same strict business
principles as Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit
Union.
If I send you an email, what
do you do with it?
When you communicate to us through email, we use
your email address only for the purpose of
responding to your comments or questions.
Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit Union Online
does have a email list that you can subscribe to, if
you wish. This provides us the ability to contact
members and potential members to inform them about
new products, services or promotional information
available from the Credit Union. Of course, you can
also unsubscribe to this by
emailing
us, or letting us know via phone,
fax or mail.
The email address you provide in order to join
the list will not be sold, nor will it be shared
with others outside the credit union, unless we are
required to do so by law.
Who has access to my personal
information at Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit
Union?
Your personal information is only accessed by the
Credit Union staff that is responsible for
completing your request or transaction. For your
protection, all email and applications are directed
to the departmental supervisors. If a communication
requires staff to complete a task, the supervisor
will perform the action or refer it to the
appropriate staff member.
Do you use web tracking
software? And what do you do with the information
gathered?
Yes, our web server has tracking software
installed on it. This tracks information, such as
your IP address (to identify the domain you are
coming from such as aol.com or bellsouth.net), type
of browser used, pages visited, errors encountered,
time of visit, etc. This software does not, however,
record any personally identifiable information that
is provided by you.
There are certain areas of
your web site that link to other web sites that are
not owned and operated by Sarasota Municipal
Employees Credit Union. What happens to information
provided to those entities?
Sarasota Municipal Employees Credit Union has,
whenever possible, structured its business
relationships with other companies that share the
same privacy values as us. Some of these
relationships have these terms expressed in our
Agreement with the other party. If you believe that
your privacy has been violated on a site we link to,
please contact us immediately.
