Thank you for visiting the California
Agribusiness Credit Union site. Your privacy
is important to us. To better protect your
privacy, we provide this notice explaining our
online information practices and the choices
you can make about the way your information is
collected and used at this CalAgCU site.
The Information We Collect
At some CalAgCU sites, you can order products,
enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise
express an opinion, subscribe to one of our
services such as our online newsletters, or
participate in one of our online forums or
communities. The types of personally
identifiable information that may be collected
at these pages include: name, address, e-mail
address, telephone number, fax number, credit
card information, and information about your
interests in and use of various products,
programs, and services.
We also may collect certain non-personally
identifiable information when you visit many
of our web pages such as the type of browser
you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet
Explorer), the type of operating system you
are using, (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS) and
the domain name of your Internet service
provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).
How We Use the Information
We may use the information you provide about
yourself to fulfill your requests for our
products, programs, and services, to respond
to your inquiries about our offerings, and to
offer you other products, programs or services
that we believe may be of interest to you.
We sometimes use this information to
communicate with you, such as to confirm your
reservation of a CalAgCU meeting, when we make
changes to our subscriber agreements, to
fulfill a request by you for an online
newsletter, or to contact you about your
membership with us.
We use the information that you provide about
others to enable us to send them your gifts or
cards. From time to time, we also may use this
information to offer our products, programs,
or services to them.
The information we collect in connection with
our online forums and communities is used to
provide an interactive experience. We use this
information to facilitate participation in
these online forums and communities and, from
time to time, to offer you products, programs,
or services.
We sometimes use the non-personally
identifiable information that we collect to
improve the design and content of our site and
to enable us to personalize your Internet
experience. We also may use this information
in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as
well as to offer you products, programs, or
services.
We will disclose information we maintain when
required to do so by law, for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena. We
also may disclose such information in response
to a law enforcement agency's request.
Agents and contractors of CalAgCU who have access
to personally identifiable information are
required to protect this information in a
manner that is consistent with this Privacy
Notice by, for example, not using the
information for any purpose other than to
carry out the services they are performing for
CalAgCU.
Although we take appropriate measures to
safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of
information, we cannot assure you that
personally identifiable information that we
collect will never be disclosed in a manner
that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice.
Inadvertent disclosures may result, for
example, when third parties misrepresent their
identities in asking the site for access to
personally identifiable information about
themselves for purposes of correcting possible
factual errors in the data.
If a CalAgCU site discloses personally
identifiable information to companies not
owned by or affiliated with CalAgCU who want to
market products or services to you, we will
provide you with an opportunity to opt out or
block such uses.
CalAgCU may on occasion combine information we
receive online with outside records to enhance
our ability to market to you those products or
services that may be of interest to you. If
you prefer not to receive marketing
information from this site, click here for
instructions on how to make your request.
Finally, CalAgCU sites will not use or transfer
personally identifiable information provided
to us in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you with an
opportunity to opt out of these unrelated
uses.
Collection of Information by Third-Party
Sites and Sponsors
Some of our sites contain links to other sites
whose information practices may be different
than ours. Visitors should consult the other
sites' privacy notices as we have no control
over information that is submitted to, or
collected by, these third parties.
CalAgCU sites sometimes may offer contests,
sweepstakes, or promotions that are sponsored
by or co-sponsored with identified third
parties. By virtue of their sponsorship, these
third parties may obtain personally
identifiable information that visitors
voluntarily submit to participate in the
contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. CalAgCU has
no control over the third-party sponsors' use
of this information. The CalAgCU site will notify
you at the time of requesting personally
identifiable information if third-party
sponsors will obtain such information.
Cookies
To enhance your experience with our sites,
many of our web pages use "cookies." Cookies
are text files we place in your computer's
browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by

unless you choose to provide this information
to us by, for example, registering at one of
our sites. However, once you choose to furnish
the site with personally identifiable
information, this information may be linked to
the data stored in the cookie.
We use cookies to understand site usage and to
improve the content and offerings on our
sites. For example, we may use cookies to
personalize your experience at our web pages
(e.g. to recognize you by name when you return

password-protected areas, and enable you to
use shopping carts on our sites. We also may
use cookies to offer you products, programs,
or services.
Our Commitment to Security
We have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and help prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data security, and correctly
use the information we collect online.
