This Online Privacy and Cookie Notice (“Online Privacy Notice”) describes PostCity Financial Credit Union’s online and mobile privacy practices and applies to websites, mobile applications that run on smartphones, tablets, and other devices (“app”), and additional services that we offer which link to this Online Privacy Notice.
By using this website or our app, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Online Privacy Notice and consent to our online data collection activities as described in this Online Privacy Notice.
The terms “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” used in this Online Privacy Notice refers to information such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, Social Security number, or other information that identifies you. This information may be collected when you voluntarily provide it to us on our website or in our app.
You may visit our website to find out about products and services and check rates, without giving us any personal information. We may use software tools and/or “cookies” to track and gather information about your browsing activities in order to analyze usage, target areas for improvement, and create marketing programs to benefit our members or potential members that visit our site. Tracking includes the date and time of visits, pages viewed, time spent on our site, browser types, IP address, and the site visited just before and just after our site. We may also track browsing activities of members who have accounts with us and who use online banking services. As part of our security procedures for members using our online banking to conduct account inquiries and transactions, we require personally identifiable information such as a login identification (login ID) and password. We may use a cookie to authenticate your request.
The use of cookies and similar tracking technologies (including pixels or clear GIFs, tags, and web beacons) is a common internet practice. Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer, smartphone, tablet or other mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are useful in a number of ways, including allowing a site or mobile app you use to recognize your device, save your settings on a site or mobile app, facilitate navigation, display information more effectively and to personalize the user’s experience. Cookies are also used to gather statistical information about how sites and mobile apps are used in order to continually improve design and functionality and assist with resolving questions regarding the sites and mobile apps.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. We may also have third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting, for our advertising and marketing efforts. There can be first-party and/or third-party cookies within any of the below Categories of Cookies.
Cookies have a duration period. Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session are called “session” cookies. Cookies that are stored longer are called “persistent” cookies. There can be session and/or persistent cookies within any of the below Categories of Cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your system and can be accessed again for multiple visits. Persistent cookies usually have an expiration date and will be automatically deleted from your system at that time.
Below is a list of the types of cookies that may be used on our website and mobile app. We classify cookies into the following categories:
Essential Cookies. These cookies are necessary for our website and mobile app to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. Without these cookies, the website and mobile app will not work properly. As the name implies, they are essential to the functionality of our website and mobile app. For example, an essential cookie may be used to prevent users from having to log in each time they visit a new page in the same session. You may be able to set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but that will cause some parts of the site or app to not work.
Preferences and Function Cookies. These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of a website but are not essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functions (like videos) may become unavailable.
Analytics Cookies. Analytics cookies enable us to measure and improve the performance of our website and mobile app. These cookies collect information about how visitors use a site and mobile app, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages.
Advertising. Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that may be relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They are usually placed through our sites and mobile app by our advertising partners and remember that you have visited a site or mobile app. This information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
Unclassified. Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are in the process of classifying, together with the providers of individual cookies.
Many of the cookies used on our website can be enabled or disabled through our consent tool or by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless manually completed through your browser function.
A growing number of browsers are adopting Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which is a technical specification for transmitting universal opt-out signal that communicates a consumer’s choice to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for behavioral advertising. Where required to do so under applicable law, our website will honor GPC signals.
Some mobile devices come with a non-permanent advertising identifier or ID which gives companies the ability to serve targeted ads to a specific mobile device. In many cases, you can turn off mobile device ad tracking or you can reset the advertising identifier at any time within your mobile device privacy settings. You may also choose to turn off location tracking on your mobile device. By turning off ad tracking or location tracking on your mobile device, you may still see the same number of ads as before, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests.
You may see advertisements when you use many of our online services. These advertisements may be for our own products or services (including pre-screened offers of credit) or for products and services offered by third parties. Which advertisements you see is often determined using the information we or our affiliates, service providers and other companies that we work with have about you, including information about your relationships with us (e.g., types of accounts held, transactional information, location of banking activity). To that end, where permitted by applicable law, we may share with others the information we collect from and about you.
Cross-context behavioral advertising refers to the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business, distinctly branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.
When using our website, you may be directed to other websites for such activities as surveys, completing job applications, and to view content hosted on those sites such as an embedded video or news article. These websites may use their own cookies. We do not have control over the placement of cookies by other websites you visit, even if you are directed to them from our website.
When allowed by you, our app collects your location data to provide you with location-based services, such as identifying branches and ATMs near you, and location-based messages and offers. We also collect location data to help with fraud detection.
Opting out of location tracking. If you do not want us to collect location services, you may decline the collection of your location when prompted or adjust the location services settings on your device. Please note, however, that if you withdraw your consent to our collection of location information, you may no longer be able to use some features of the app.
If you log on to online banking, you pass through a “firewall” used for security purposes and the Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the computer you are using may be identified. The IP address does not identify you personally. In certain instances, it may also obtain other information about your computer to better identify you as an online user. This information may be retained in case it is needed for security or protection of member information.
We may collect information, such as your likes, interests, feedback, and preferences when you interact with our official pages on social media websites such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn or from our social media partners (but only if you choose to share with them and they, in turn, share that information with us). Please refer to the policies of those companies to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to your activity on those websites.
With your permission, our app may be granted access to your phonebook or contact information in your mobile device to provide various features like Zelle Payments. We will only disclose this information as necessary to enable such features and to comply with federal, state, or local laws, or other legal requirements.
Our app may request access to your camera for you to be able to use our remote deposit capture service. The front and back pictures of the checks you sent will only be used for our remote deposit capture service. Such images will only be accessible by us and our service providers that help enable our remote deposit capture service. We will only disclose the check photos to third parties if necessary to process your remote deposit and to comply with federal, state, or local laws, or other legal requirements.
Additionally, if you are applying for membership on our website, we may ask you to upload a copy of your government issued identification card for us to comply with our regulatory requirements. We will only use this information to open your account and disclose this information to third parties as necessary to process your membership application and to comply with federal, state, or local laws, or other legal requirements.
Our online banking service on our website and mobile application collects financial and payment information to process transactions such as bill payments. Furthermore, our website and mobile application may prompt you to provide a copy of your government issued identification card or collect government identification numbers in connection with an application for membership or a loan with us. We will never publicly disclose any of your financial information, payment information or government issued identification card or card number. Such information may be disclosed only to our service providers for the purpose of processing transactions you request from us or maintaining your accounts with us, and such service provides are restricted from forward transfers of such information to other parties except in furtherance of processing your requested transactions or compliance with federal, state, or local laws, or other legal requirements.
We do not and will not sell your personal information. We share your information as required to meet legal and regulatory obligations. We share your personal information that you have provide to us in connection with applying for membership and/or financial products with us (“personally identifiable financial information”) with affiliates and third parties in accordance with the practices set forth in the U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice.
With respect to other information that we collect from you online, which includes personal information as well as online activity data that does not personally identify you or your household, we use such information for a variety of reasons, including:
Updating Your Personal Information: Keeping your account information up-to-date is important. You can access and/or update your personal information in connection with your account or application by logging on to your account online or by contacting us.
Service Providers on the Internet: Occasionally you will notice on our website that services are “Powered by” or “Provided by” content providers or technology service partners. We contract with these vendors to help serve you better. Please note that your personal information collected on such sites will be subject to the privacy practices and policies of such content or service providers. You should review their privacy policies and practices before deciding to disclose your personal information on such sites.
Co-branded and Alliance Relationships: We have established relationships with other parties on the internet. These other companies are accessed either through the use of, or by offering “co-branded” sites in which both PostCity Financial Credit Union and the other company share the same URL, domain name or pages within a domain name on the internet and the names or logos of both companies are displayed. Generally, we do not own the co-branded sites and therefore do not control how those companies use any information supplied to them. It’s important that you review their privacy policy to understand how they manage any information you supply them.
Protecting Children’s Privacy: We respect the privacy of children and comply with the practices established under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). Our website and mobile application does not target children. We do not knowingly collect or retain personally identifiable information from consumers under the age of thirteen. We may, however, collect information about consumers under the age of thirteen on our website or mobile application directly from their parents or legal guardians in connection with the financial products and service that we offer to our members, such as, without limitation, adding children as beneficiaries to bank accounts. For more information about COPPA please visit the Federal Trade Commission website: www.ftc.gov.
Linking to Other Websites: Our websites, online services, online or mobile banking may contain links to third party websites. Although these links were established to provide you with access to useful information, we do not control and are not responsible for any of these websites or their contents. We do not know or control what information third-party websites may collect regarding your personal information. We provide these links to you only as a convenience, and we do not endorse or make any representations about using such third-party websites or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from our websites so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. We are not responsible for the security or privacy practices of the linked websites.

Updates to this Policy: From time to time, we may change this Online Privacy Notice. The effective date of this Policy, as indicated above, reflects the last time this Online Privacy Notice was revised.
