The information you enter is stored in a database on our servers for a time period specified by you. The unique key to your information is stored in a cookie and can only be accessed through your PC where the cookie is stored.

In order to offer more personalized content, you have the option of providing additional personal information to customize the information displayed to you in the Watch List and Market News sections. The information we collect for this purpose may include your first and/or last name, the links you request, marital status, number of children under 18, and any ticker symbols you enter for the Watch List and/or Market News. Supplying this type of information is always optional. It is simply used to provide a more personalized experience on the site.

Online Applications and Enrollment Forms

When you apply online for products or services, we need to collect personal information in order to complete your request. The personal information we collect varies depending upon the product or service for which you apply. We only require you to provide personal information as necessary to administer the product or service you have requested. This type of information is collected only with your consent. The following information may be collected:

We will share information only when necessary to administer products and services we provide, when we partner with credit unions or strategic partners to offer you a broader array of products and services, or when required by law.

We require strict privacy protections in our business relationships. We will engage in ventures only with credit unions and strategic partners that follow strict confidentiality provisions.

Cookies

A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which is then stored on your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.

Our site makes use of cookies for the following purposes:

  • Site administration and personalization

  • Analysis of visitors that is not tied to specific individuals

A cookie is useful for having the browser remember specific information across several pages or between visits to a site. We do not store any sensitive information within your cookie and we will use it only to provide you with excellent service. Also, our site does not read any information stored in cookies given to you from other web sites, except in rare cases where the other web site is a provider of information or functionality within our site and that cookie is necessary to make the site function correctly.

Browsers may be set up to display a warning when a cookie is used. Individuals may even disable their browsers from accepting cookies.

Protecting Your Information

We want our members and site visitors to feel confident using membersfunds.com, so we are committed to protecting the information we collect. We have implemented a security program to keep information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized access.

Our systems are configured with data encryption and industry-standard firewalls. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and up to 128 bit encryption technologies to enhance security when you visit secured areas of our Web site. SSL is the industry standard tool for protecting and maintaining the security of message transmissions over the Internet. When you access your accounts or send information from secured pages, encryption will scramble your data into an unreadable format to inhibit unauthorized access by others.
