7. Safeguarding of Information. We understand the confidential and secure nature of your personal and financial data and have multiple security measures in place to safeguard the security of information obtained through the Site. For example, we have implemented a security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard your data from unlawful use, unauthorized access or disclosure.

   Applications for services, account(s) or loan(s) that you submit through Online Banking, Open an Account, or Apply for a Loan and forms that you complete and submit on our website are submitted through secure, encrypted web pages. You can verify the security of a web page by looking for the "locked padlock" icon which most browsers display as a sign of a secure web page. To ensure the encryption of your web visit, you should ensure that you are using the most current web browser available. When you have logged in to Online Banking, Open an Account, or Apply for a Loan, all transactions and information are secure. We utilize the latest in technology to monitor Online Banking, Open an Account, and Apply for a Loan activity to protect your transactions and information. Built-in security measures include a session time-out (your Online Banking, Open an Account, or Apply for a Loan session will automatically log out after a period of inactivity), log in error lockout (after repeated incorrect log in attempts), and multi-factor authentication to verify your identity before you can log in.

   We conduct frequent and regular backups of your information and utilize redundant information practices to protect your information from being lost, altered, or corrupted due to unforeseen equipment malfunctions. As a result, cefcu.com, Online Banking, Open an Account, and/or Apply for a Loan may be unavailable due to system maintenance or circumstances beyond our control.

   Even though we have taken steps to protect your personal information from being intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. No system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure and there is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our administrative, physical, or technical safeguards.

   You should never share your username and/or password with another person to ensure the security and privacy of your accounts and information. Please refer to the Online Banking, Open an Account, and/or Apply for a Loan disclosures for complete privacy, security, and usage information.

8. How Long We Retain Your Information.

We may retain your personal information for longer if it is necessary to comply with our legal or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, to exercise or defend against a legal claim, etc.

   We may also retain your personal information in a deidentified or aggregated form so that it can no longer be associated with you.

   To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we consider various factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your information; the potential risk of unauthorized access, use or disclosure; the purposes for which we process your personal information; and applicable legal requirements.

   Right to Request Deletion

   Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will delete and direct any service providers, contractors, and third parties to delete your PI from their records.

   CEFCU is not required to comply with your request to delete your PI if it is necessary for CEFCU (or its service provider) to maintain your PI to:

   • Complete the transaction for which the PI was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated by you within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between CEFCU and you.
   • Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer's PI is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
   • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
   • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
   • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
   • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that confirms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when CEFCU's deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if you have provided informed consent.
   • To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with CEFCU and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
   • Comply with a legal obligation.

   Right to Know

   You have the right to request that we disclose the following to you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding CEFCU's receipt of your verifiable consumer request (see below):

   • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing PI.
   • The categories of PI we disclosed or sold for a business purpose.
   • The categories of third parties we disclosed PI to, by the category of PI.
   • The specific pieces of PI we collected about you.

   Right to Request Correction

   You have the right, subject to certain limitations, to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.  Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, and as required by the CCPA, we will take appropriate steps to respond to your request.

   Right Not to Receive Discriminatory Treatment

   You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. Employees, applicants, and independent contractors have the right not to be retaliated against for the exercise of their rights conferred by the CCPA.

8. Submitting Consumer Rights Requests

   To exercise the rights described in this CCPA Section, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either calling us at 1-888-556-7376 or by visiting https://www.cefcu.com/forms/contact/ccpa.

9. Verifiable Consumer Requests

   We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests. A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual who is:

   • the consumer who is the subject of the request,
   • a consumer on behalf of the consumer's minor child, or
   • by a natural person or person registered with the California Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer.

   If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive PI to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with PI if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the PI relates to you. However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

   Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the PI we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable consumer request for any other purpose, except as required by law.

   We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require up to ninety (90) days to respond, under which circumstances we will notify you of the need for an extension.

   If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. With respect to Personal Information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly permitted by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not be impossible or require a disproportionate effort by us. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.

10. Authorized Agents

    You may authorize a natural person or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to your rights under this CCPA Section. Unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf, and we may require you to verify your identity directly with us or directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to act on your behalf. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
