BIOMETRIC INFORMATION PRIVACY POLICY AND CONSENT
Scope and Overview
This policy outlines how MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software processes biometric data collected from you for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes.
Biometric Data Defined
As used in this policy, biometric data includes “biometric identifiers” and “biometric information”. “Biometric identifier” means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry. As the term is used in this policy, the selfie photograph you upload to the software for use in the biometric algorithm is considered a “biometric identifier.” “Biometric information” means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored, or shared, based on an individual’s biometric identifier used to identify an individual.
Disclosure and Authorization Policy
To the extent that MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software collect, capture, or otherwise obtain biometric data relating to a consumer, MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union must first:
Inform each consumer that MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software are collecting, capturing, or otherwise obtaining the employee’s biometric data, and that the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union is providing such biometric data to its vendors and the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software;
Inform the consumer of the specific purpose and length of time for which the consumer’s biometric data is being collected, stored, and used; and
Receive consent by the consumer authorizing MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, its vendors, and/or MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software to collect, store, and use the consumer’s biometric data for the specific purposes disclosed by the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, and for MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union to provide such biometric data to its vendors and the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software.
MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software will not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from employees’ biometric data; provided, however, that the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s vendors and the licensor of the MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union’s consumer verification software may be paid for products or services used by MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union that utilize such biometric data.
This policy is intended to comply with all federal, state, and local laws.

The disclosed data completes a financial transaction requested or authorized by the consumer;
Disclosure is required by law or ordinance; or

Security
MEMBERS1st Community Credit Union shall use a commercially reasonable standard of care to store, transmit and protect from disclosure any biometric data collected.
