Privacy Statement

In order to protect the privacy of our visitors to our website, Pennsylvania Sister Society has adopted the following privacy policy:

THIS IS OUR OFFICIAL PRIVACY POLICY WHICH FORMS PART OF YOUR LEGAL AGREEMENTS WITH US UNDER OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE. PLEASE READ OUR PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU.

This Privacy Policy details the information collected from visitors to Pennsylvania Sister Society's public websites and data servers, and those operated for our subsidiaries. These sites may be located anywhere under the Pennsylvania Sister Society domain "pasistersociety.org". This policy also discusses why the information is collected and how it is used. It explains user options for accessing and managing information, our data security practices, and other matters.

What Information Do We Collect? Why Do We Collect Information?

Computer Information
When you visit a Pennsylvania Sister Society website or public data server, the IP address and/or host name and domain name of the computer or network you are using is logged in site logs, firewall logs, and/or network and host-based intrusion detection systems. Logging this information allows us to create a forensic trail in the event of a security breach suspected of compromising financial or consumer information and is done for the protection of member credit unions and their members. This is an industry standard best practice. We may automatically collect information about your computer configuration. This may include, but is not limited to, your browser type, version, operating system, pages you visit, and other aspects of your visit. Technically, your IP address or ISP domain name could reveal or be associated with your personal identity. We review this information only in the aggregate to improve site performance, and specifically to address security concerns. Finally, Pennsylvania Sister Society will collect, retain and use information gathered from this Site only where it is allowed by law, and where it is necessary to administer/provide its services and products for its member credit unions.

Personal Information
If you use a feature that requires you to explicitly submit information, we collect your name, email address, telephone and fax numbers, and mailing address; should you choose to provide us with this information. This is necessary to process and deliver the services or information you request. We retain this information to serve you better and to provide the best information possible regarding services you may be interested in. If you experience problems or have a question, we may refer to the information request to help resolve it.

With Whom Do We Share Information?

Outside Service Providers and Subsidiaries
Pennsylvania Sister Society has arrangements with companies whose experience is essential for our own services to operate properly. These companies work at Pennsylvania Sister Society's direction and only receive information necessary for them to perform these functions. They are required to safeguard the information and only use it for authorized purposes, and within the guidelines established by Pennsylvania Sister Society for the protection of information.

Google Analytics
Pennsylvania Sister Society uses Google Analytics measurement software to analyze the information listed above under Computer Information. The data is automatically sent to Google's system where it is immediately aggregated. Neither Pennsylvania Sister Society nor Google ever have access to the specifics of your particular site visits. The staff can only see the aggregate data from all users for a particular time period.

Pennsylvania Sister Society gathers this information to improve our websites and has chosen to not share the aggregate data with Google. We may use the aggregated data to share with our members and contractors to help improve visitor experiences. The information listed above under Personal Information is not shared with Google Analytics.

Certain Legal Disclosures
We may need to disclose user information in certain exceptional circumstances. This may be needed to protect against illegal hackers, to protect our legal rights or to address actual or threatened illegal or harmful conduct. Disclosure may also be required by legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order.

What Data Security is Used?
We use administrative, physical and technical precautions to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal and corporate information stored on our computer systems. Our publicly accessible data servers are protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems employing extensive security practices to monitor for and detect malicious and anomalous activity. These practices are subject to regular federal and internal audits. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented in our systems reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved and we will continue to innovate in response to the increasing cyber threat environment by implementing a variety of system controls and security techniques.

How Long Do We Retain User Data?
The retention and destruction of non-public consumer data is subject to applicable federal, state, and local statutory law. Pennsylvania Sister Society makes every effort to comply with and go beyond the intent of the law. We may alter this practice according to legal and business requirements. For example, we may lengthen the retention period for some data if needed to comply with law or voluntary codes of conduct. Unless otherwise prohibited, we may shorten the retention period for some types of data, if needed, to free up storage space. Marketing data, which can be gathered freely in the public domain, is retained indefinitely
