WHAT THIS IS:
This disclosure is the privacy policy for all entities above
(us). We are combining this disclosure because our policies are
similar; you might be a member/client of more than one of us; and,
if you opt out, your opt out will affect each of us.
In this brochure, we will tell you (among other things):
Where we get information about you (our sources);
With whom we might share any of that information, and why;
What you can do if you don't want us to share certain information
about you; and
What we do to protect the information we have about you from
unintended users.
WHO "YOU"
ARE:
This policy applies to our consumer members/clients who have
continuing relationships with one (or more) of us.

Investment Services, TCU Agency LLC, TCU Trust Services, CU Title
Services LLC, or TCU Lending Agency LLC if you, for example, arrange
for travel services, create a brokerage account, purchase an
insurance policy, or obtain financial planning services from or
through one of these affiliates.
MORE DEFINITIONS:
"Information" means "nonpublic personal information," which is a
technical term that generally means information that can identify
you; that is not available publicly; and that we collect in
connection with providing a financial product or service to you. We
will use the word "information" in this brochure to mean "nonpublic
personal information.”
Affiliate is a company one of us owns, a company that owns one
of us, or a company that is owned or controlled by a company that
owns one of us. TCU, TCU Travel LLC, TCU Investment Services, TCU
Agency LLC, TCU Trust Services, CU Title Services LLC, and TCU
Lending Agency LLC, are affiliates of each other.
Nonaffiliate includes a person who is not employed by one of us,
or a company that is not an affiliate.
Opt out means a choice you make to prevent us from sharing
information about you with others.
JOINT ACCOUNTS:
If you have a joint account with us, you should share this
notice with the persons who share your account. They may not get a
separate notice. You may only get one of these disclosures, no
matter how many of us you have an account with, and no matter how
many accounts you might have. (The number of such disclosures might
depend on how our computer sorts information we have about you.)
SOURCES FOR INFORMATION:
Each of us collects information about our members/clients from
the following sources:
Information you might provide on applications and other forms;
Information about transactions one of us might conduct for you;
Information about transactions you might conduct through an
affiliate;
Information about your transactions with nonaffiliated third
parties; or
Information we receive as a result of verifying member information.
TCU also may collect information about you from a consumer reporting
agency.
THE CONFIDENTIALITY, SECURITY, AND INTEGRITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
Each of us restricts access to
information about you to those employees who need to know that
information to provide products or services to you. Each of us
maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard
your information.
INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE ABOUT YOU BETWEEN US (WITH AFFILIATES):
Transaction information:
We may share the following types of information about you with
each other (affiliates) derived from the transactions either (or
all) of us conducts on your behalf: name, address, account balances,
account activity, types of accounts, deposit history, parties to the
transaction, phone number, and age. Federal law allows us to share
information derived from the transactions we do for you with each
other. You do not have a right to opt out of the sharing of this
information.
Non transaction information:
We share between us the following information, derived from
applications and other forms submitted by customers, such as assets
and income. Members/clients of each entity can opt out of the
sharing of this information listed immediately above (taken from
applications and other forms). The instructions for and the effect
of an opt out are below.
Reasons For Disclosure
We share the information listed above between us so our
members/clients can be aware of all the financial products that we
offer through all our entities.
JOINT MARKETING
We may disclose the following information to other financial
service providers with whom we have joint marketing agreements:
Information from applications and other forms, such as name,
address, social security number, deposit balances, and loan
balances.
Exceptions:
TCU does not share information about members located in Alabama,
Alaska, California, Idaho, North Dakota and Vermont for joint
marketing purposes.
TCU does not share information derived from deposit accounts about
members located in Massachusetts, Mississippi and New Jersey.
Types of Businesses
TCU provides this information for joint marketing purposes to
financial service providers, such as securities broker-dealers,
insurance or title insurance companies and private label (TCU Card)
credit card issuers.
Reasons For Disclosing
We may disclose information about you pursuant to joint
marketing agreements so we can provide you with information about
additional products and services that we might not be able to offer
you ourselves but which we can offer you together with others.
YOUR INFORMATION AND OTHER PARTIES
We will not disclose information about you to anyone except as
disclosed in this policy or as permitted by law.
INFORMATION ABOUT FORMER MEMBERS
We have the same policy about disclosing information about
former members as we do about current members.
YOUR RIGHT TO BLOCK THE DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION-
INSTRUCTIONS AND EFFECT
You have the right to ask us not to share between us the
information derived from sources other than the transactions we
conduct on your behalf, as mentioned earlier. This is referred to as
an opt-out. If you wish to opt out of disclosures, you may do so by
calling 800-552-4745 or
complete and return a form
which you can obtain at our website at
www.tcunet.com.
If you have one
or more joint accounts, an opt-out instruction given by one
participant of such an account will affect all of the accounts of
the person who opts out and all information from those accounts
about others who participate in those accounts. An opt-out
instruction will apply to all of us. This means that an opt-out will
prevent TCU from sharing the non transaction information with TCU
Travel LLC, TCU Investment Services, TCU Agency LLC, TCU Trust
Services, CU Title Services LLC, or TCU Lending Agency LLC and them
from sharing the same information with TCU or each other. An opt-out
will remain in effect until you change it, or the law changes and we
give you further notice of that change.
