How we handle the information we gather when you visit our web site.

  • Web server activity logs - Like most web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:
    o the name, domain, and numerical Internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet. For example, your host computer's name is Harriet and its numerical address is 63.145.212.102;
    • the date and time you accessed our site;
    • the Internet address of the web page that you came from;
    • the page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your computer; and
    • the information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU used in your personal computer.
    • It is impossible to determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information. The logs are periodically summarized and analyzed in order to study site usage over time and to perform other studies to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.
  • Electronic mail - When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We may forward your e-mail to individuals who are better able to answer your questions. We do not retain or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties outside of NM ENERGY FCU. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses.
  • File transfer protocol (FTP) - Many NM ENERGY FCU sites using the file transfer protocol may also store your e-mail address if your web browser is configured to provide it. By default most web browser software does not send your e-mail address; this option is configured through your browser preferences. In Netscape Navigator, for example, this option must be set by you through the Advanced preferences category by the item labeled, "Send e-mail address as anonymous FTP password."
  • Online surveys - When you voluntarily provide us with personal information as part of an online survey, we use it to perform various quantitative and qualitative analyses to improve customer service and satisfaction. You are under no obligation to participate in such surveys. Non-participation will not inhibit your use of our web site in any way. If you provided the information to us in error, you may request its removal at any time. InfoDesk/Contact

YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

Under certain circumstances, federal laws give you the right to instruct financial companies not to share some of your information. This is referred to as “opting out” of information sharing.

Therefore, you may not be able to “opt out” of any of our information sharing activities.

Despite our limited sharing practices, non-affiliated third parties can still obtain information about you from consumer reporting agencies and other outside sources to market their own products and services.
