Who is providing this notice?

Westerra Credit Union ("Westerra")

How does Westerra protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. We limit collection and use of non-public personal information to the minimum required. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal and state standards.

How does Westerra collect my personal information?

We collect your personal information, for example, when you:

• Open an account or deposit money
• Pay your bills or apply for a loan
• Use your credit or debit card

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates or other companies. We collect data through our Mobile apps - data is linked to your identity, but is not used for tracking purposes:

Contact Information (name, email address, phone number, physical address)
Financial Information (payment, credit and other financial information)
Location (precise location, coarse location)
Contacts
User Content (customer support)
Identifiers (User ID, Device ID)
Purchases (purchase history)
Usage Data (product interaction, advertising data)
Diagnostics (crash, performance and other diagnostic data)

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

Federal law gives you the right to limit only:

• Sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes - information about your creditworthiness
• Affiliates from using your information to market to you
• Sharing for non-affiliates to market to you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.

What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else?

Your choices will apply to everyone on your account - unless you tell us otherwise.

• Our affiliates include companies with the “Westerra” or “Westerra Credit Union” name that are under common control with us.
