CONFIDENTIALITY OF MEMBER INFORMATION

The Luso-American Credit Union has an obligation to its members to ensure that their account information is not improperly disclosed. To avoid this risk the Luso-American Credit Union has developed the following policies and procedures:

1. Employee training to ensure that all employees are aware of their responsibility to safeguard members financial information and also to educate employees about the tactics used by information brokers to fraudulently obtain members confidential information.

2. The Luso-American Credit Union prohibits the release of information over the telephone, unless the proper authorization code is provided. If this code has not been set up by the member, the caller ID system will be used. If the number differs from that in the customer's account records, the employee should not disclose the requested account information without taking further steps to verify that the customer made the request. All customer information will be held in a secure location. All illicit attempts to obtain members information will be reported to the proper authorities.
