Privacy Policy
Last Updated (Sunday, 14 September 2008 12:55)
At Farm Credit of North Florida, ACA, we recognize your expectation of privacy and confidentiality of personal financial information when seeking the assistance of outside professionals to obtain credit. We have taken great care in establishing and implementing policies and procedures and have committed to an ongoing review of those policies and procedures to protect your personal and financial information.
Since 1972, Farm Credit Administration regulations have prohibited the directors and employees of Farm Credit institutions from disclosing personal borrower information to others without your consent. Farm Credit of North Florida does not sell or trade your personal information to marketing or information brokers. Farm Credit of North Florida is committed to fully complying with the laws and regulations that have been established to protect the confidentiality of your information.
FCA rules allow us to disclose customer information to others only in these situations:
- We may give it to another Farm Credit institution with which you conduct business.
- We can be a credit reference for you with other lenders and provide information to a credit bureau or other consumer-reporting agency.
- We can provide information in certain types of legal or law enforcement proceedings.
- FCA examiners may review loan files during regular examinations of our association.
- If one of our employees applies to become a licensed real estate appraiser, we may give copies of real estate appraisal reports to the State agency that licenses appraisers when required. We will first remove as much personal information from the appraisal report as possible.
Your privacy is a top priority in all aspects of our business. Our employees are informed of their responsibility to protect your confidential information and are governed by strict standards of conduct, which prohibit unauthorized use of your information. Appropriate disciplinary policies are in place to help enforce employee privacy responsibilities. Security procedures and internal controls are also in place to protect your privacy.
Your personal information is the information that identifies you, for example your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. We may collect personal and additional information volunteered by you during the loan inquiry process to enable us to offer you the best products and services. We may also contact you with news about new products, services, and special promotions. Additionally, your e-mail address is collected when you submit any e-mail to us.
