that assist us in delivering your statements and other
promotional materials.
Under certain circumstances we
may also enter into joint marketing agreements
with other financial service providers, such as mortgage
bankers, securities broker-dealers, and insurance companies and
agents. Before entering into relationships with such entities,
we require them to agree to safeguard our member's information
and to comply with all applicable privacy laws. Furthermore, we
may also disclose nonpublic personal information about you to
other nonaffiliated and affiliated third parties not described

personal and account information to those employees who need to
know that information to provide products or services to you.
Our employees access information about you when needed to
administer your accounts, to provide requested services, or in
response to a legally valid outside request or order (such as a
subpoena). In addition, our employees may also access
information to exercise our rights under the law or pursuant to
any agreement with you. We maintain physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to

new policies at that time.
