About cookies

The terminology "cookie" is used to describe a nugget of data that is stored on your hard drive as a file. Cookies make it easier, quicker, and more secure for you to log into and use the Active Web Site.

We use a temporary cookie to verify who you are while using the Active Web site. Your privacy is not compromised by these cookies.

About encryption

Encryption is a term for scrambling meaningful text and numbers at one location and transmitting them across the Internet to another location. The encryption process uses complex algorithmic formulas to create a key that is used to translate the information back into use-able content. There are billions of potential keys and a different key is used for each Active Web Site session.

All confidential information sent to and requested by this site is encrypted. The credit union submits the account information using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted network transmissions.

Fraud Information
It is important to us to help protect you from identity theft. There are many forms of identity theft and one common scam is known as "phishing". Phishing occurs when criminals attempt to defraud unsuspecting victims by creating forgeries of legitimate e-mails and websites. To shield your accounts from fraudulent activity, remember these best practices:

• Park View Federal Credit Union will never request that you update or give out personal information via e-mail
• Exercise caution when it comes to e-mail messages threatening that your account has been suspended, deactivated, or frozen, or warning of unauthorized access to your account
• Never give out your personal information to an unknown source - especially if you have not initiated the interaction
• Report any suspicious activity to the Federal Trade Commission
