CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT DISCLOSURE
(CCPA DISCLOSURE)

Effective Date: August 1, 2023

At SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union ("SchoolsFirst FCU," "Credit Union," "we," "our," "us"), your privacy is important to us. This California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosure ("Privacy Disclosure") explains how we, including our wholly-owned affiliates, SchoolsFirst Insurance Services, LLC and SchoolsFirst Plan Administration, LLC ("CUSOs"), collect, disclose, use and retain your personal information through your online and offline interactions with us.

For California residents, this Privacy Disclosure is adopted under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the "CCPA"). The purpose of the CCPA is to give California consumers the rights to have more control over the use of the personal information that businesses collect about them.

What is personal information under CCPA?

Personal information is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household. For example, it could include a consumer's name, email address, records of transaction activity, internet browsing history, geolocation data or fingerprints.

The CCPA, however, does not apply to all personal information collected by us, such as information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"). As a result, THIS DISCLOSURE DOES NOT APPLY TO NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM OUR MEMBERS, CUSO AND PAYROLL CARD CLIENTS, IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING FINANCIAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FOR PERSONAL PURPOSES.

  • Characteristics of a Protected Class — Age, race, color, citizenship or disability status.
  • Commercial Information — Records of personal property, products or services purchased.
  • Biometric Information — Identifying information, such as fingerprints or data collected for timekeeping or security purposes.
  • Internet or Other Similar Network Activity — Browsing history, search history, information about a consumer's interaction with a website.
  • Geolocation Data — Information used to identify your physical location in relation to a branch or ATM.

  • Sensitive Personal Information — Information that reveals your Social Security and driver's license numbers; account log-in information, account number in combination with required access code or password; credentials allowing access to an account; or a consumer's precise geolocation. We do not use or disclose your sensitive personal information for any purpose other than what is permitted by law.

Categories of Sources of Personal Information We Collect

  • From You or Your Authorized Agent — We may collect information directly from you or your authorized agent (i.e., a person that has been legally granted the rights to act on your behalf).
