The PremierOne Credit Union electronic policy tolerates only permission-based marketing emails. Users always have the opportunity to opt-out of any marketing email by replying to any marketing email with "Unsubscribe" in the email or you can unsubscribe by clicking “Unsubscribe” in the last sentence of the email that reads- This is a promotional email from PremierOne Credit Union.

Social Media Policy
The Credit Union has various Social Media outlets to interact with members, foster a sense of community, hold promotions and contests, and discuss topics related to Credit Union products and services. The Credit Union also follows our internal member security and information policies. We are committed to a transparent and honest social media flow, and will not create "fake" destinations and posts designed to mislead followers and control a conversation. Every website, "fan page," or other online destination that the Credit Union ultimately controls will make that fact known to users and must be authorized by the Credit Union.
Members should always be aware they are on a social networking site, and that it may have different privacy standards than the Credit Union. The Credit Union cannot be held responsible for social network aspects outside of its control. The Credit Union encourages all members to review each site's Social Networking Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies and to learn other Social Networking tips (provided below). Member and non-member participation is welcomed to share experiences, suggest improvements, and contribute to conversations. To maintain the integrity of the Credit Union and protect our members' information, the following terms of use regarding our social media presence have been established:
- All comments will be reviewed, and posts that are derogatory, defamatory, obscene, hateful, ethnic, off-topic, spam, personal attacks, illegal, offensive, or those that are private or confidential, or any comment that is deemed to be inappropriate will be removed. The Credit Union maintains the sole responsibility of judgment for these items.
- Posts must be in text format from someone over the age of 13.
- Posts from members with photos will not be accepted unless specifically requested by an authorized representative for a contest or other business-related purpose. In these instances, pictures will be reviewed and removed if inappropriate.

- At times, and related to promotions, sweepstakes, or postings, the Credit Union might utilize a third-party company to develop a promotion or post information or an article through a Social Networking site. The same privacy policy may not bind third-party companies as the Credit Union. In these instances, the Credit Union will perform due diligence to ensure the reputation and operation of the third-party company or application. Members should be aware that Social Networking sites and third-party applications may review member profiles or other information outside of Credit Union control when the member has opted in or allowed them to do so. We will provide disclosure related to every promotion and include whether the Credit Union used a third-party application to develop the Social Networking promotion.

Security Information and Updates
General Information
PremierOne Credit Union may set and access PremierOne cookies on your computer. We may also set and access device identifiers which could include IP address, user agent information (browser version, OS type and version), and device provided identifiers. Once you log into PremierOne Credit Union on your device, PremierOne may recognize your device to provide you with a personalized experience, independent of your device settings.
Security Information
Beware of Vishing, Smishing, and Phishing: The latest attempts to gain your information include mobile phone text messages where y you must call a phone number and provide confidential information.
Vishing
Voice phishing is the criminal practice of using social engineering over the telephone system to gain access to private personal and financial information from the public or the purpose of financial reward. Unless you contacted an institution directly, you do not know who is on the other end of the line. Never submit confidential information by phone or voicemail if you are not the one who initiated the call.
For example, if you receive a text that says, "Dear credit union bank customer, we regret that we have had to lock out access to your account. Please call 901.562.1204 to access your account." If you respond, an automated response may request your credit card number. This is referred to as “Vishing” because the fraudsters are Voice Phishing for your information. Whether by mobile phone or email, do not call and leave confidential information in a message or provide this information if you did not initiate the request.
Smishing
SMiShing is short for "SMS phishing." SMiShing is a security attack in which the user is tricked into downloading a Trojan horse, virus, or other malware onto his cellular phone or other mobile device. Once the software is installed, it can give criminals control of your device and access to your data.
For example, if you receive a mobile text that says, "Dear credit union/bank customer, we regret to inform you that you have been locked out of your account. Please click here to access your account." When you click the link, the software is installed on your device, and the device becomes compromised.
Phishing
Suspicious phone calls, emails, or mail that request a response or action to contact an institution or individual where you would provide the account number, personal information or a password.
Remember that legitimate institutions never contact you and ask for your account or confidential information. If you receive a response like this about your account at Premie One Credit Union, end the conversation and contact the credit union directly at 1(408)524-4500 or 1(855)500-7128. NEVER respond to any request like this unless you initiated the request yourself.
