We do not gather, collect, or maintain any information about you that can identify you as an individual except for such services that you request from us. These services include all of our online applications, for loans and all account applications, account access service, and bill payer service. We gather only information that is necessary to process your request and we maintain the information in the strictest of confidence.
For statistical purposes, we collect general data about users of our site. This data is not personally identifying.

This Privacy Policy covers all services, products, and information contained in Baton Rouge Telco Federal Credit Union’s Web site and all servers that provide an Internet presence for Baton Rouge Telco Federal Credit Union. If you have any questions regarding this site, you can reach the site administrator by e-mail at marketing@brtelco.org or 13404 Airline Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA 70817, (225) 924-8900, ext. 384.

Baton Rouge Telco Federal Credit Union (“Telco”) understands the importance of protecting your privacy. We believe that trust is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. We value the trust you place in us to keep your finances and other information confidential, and our goal is to maintain trust and confidence when handling your personal information.
This Online Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Telco collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit or use www.brtelco.org (“the Website”). By using the Website, you consent to the terms and conditions of this Policy, including your consent to our use and disclosure of information about you in the manner described in this Policy. The term “us,” “we” or “our” in this Policy refers to Baton Rouge Telco Federal Credit Union.
When you initially log into Online Banking, you will need to know your member number and MANDI (audio response service) PIN. You will then be required to accept disclosures, create stronger login credentials, and set the multi-factor authentication methods for added security.
As long as your account is in good standing at Telco, you are eligible for Online Banking. You may gain access to your accounts online through use of any of your internet-enabled devices supported by Telco.
Some Touch ID mobile devices are supported when using our mobile app. Touch ID is an alternate login option to the traditional username/password. It will allow you to access mobile banking using built-in, fingerprint-sensor technology. Your device stores encrypted Touch ID fingerprints that you have added. Our mobile banking app cannot access or identify the owner of the actual fingerprint. It only determines if the fingerprint is valid on that device. This means that by choosing to enable Touch ID, every person with an enrolled fingerprint on your device may have access to your account. It is your responsibility to manage this access on your device. If your device is stolen you must disable the Touch ID.

You will need to manage your cookie setting for each device and browser you use. If you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Website.
When you interact with us via our Website, we will not obtain personal information about you unless you choose to provide such information. Personal information that we may collect about you through online interaction includes information that you provide, such as your name, mailing address, email address and other contact information; data resulting from your activity, such as transaction information; and limited location information (for example, a zip code to help you find a nearby ATM). We may also collect payment card information, social security numbers, and driver’s license numbers when you provide such information while using our Website.
We will retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
In addition to the personal information described above, we also collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, region, preferences, interests, and favorites. We may also automatically collect information about your computer hardware, such as the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Website, the type of operating system and browser you use, search engine used, access times, referring website addresses, the parts of our Website you access, and the site you visit next.
We may allow certain widgets (e.g., social share buttons) on our Website that allow users to easily share information on another platform, such as a social media platform. The third-parties that own these widgets may have access to information about your browsing on pages of our Website where these widgets are placed. You may wish to review information at the third-party sites, such as social media platforms where you have an account, to determine how these third-parties collect and use such information.

We also limit access to your personal information to those who need it to do their jobs.
