Northern Star 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 Northern
Star.
As a member of Northern Star, you also have a responsibility to
safeguard your financial information.
Only personal information necessary to conduct Northern Star
business will be collected. This means just what is necessary to
provide competitive financial products and service, no more.
Northern Star will protect your personal information. We will
maintain strong security controls to ensure member information, in our
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.
You will always have access to your information. As a member
of Northern Star Credit Union, you will always have the opportunity to
review your information and make necessary changes to ensure our
records are complete and accurate.
Northern Star will only share information when absolutely
necessary. We 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 broad
array of products and services.
Northern Star Credit Union will only partner with businesses that
follow strict confidentiality requirements. The businesses we
select will offer products designed to enhance our members' economic
well-being. Under no circumstances will we authorize these firms
to charge your account without express consent, and we will not sell
member information to telemarketing firms.
Northern Star will offer you a choice in how your information is
used. Any member of Northern Star Credit Union may elect to keep
their information from being shared with our business partners.
We will inform you on how to exercise your choice, and we will take
reasonable steps to ensure your requests are followed. At least
once a year, we will remind all members of their right to choose.
