Online Privacy- Our privacy policy is the same whether you are online or not. To protect information you may provide us online, we use multiple levels of security. All applications, forms and home banking transactions are submitted to us securely using the industry standard “Secure Socket Layer” (SSL) encryption to secure your submission. WWFCU uses 128-bit encryption and we use firewalls to secure your information. A firewall is a security measure that insulates the credit union’s computer network from the World Wide Web. We analyze the traffic coming in and out of the firewall, which could indicate intrusion activity and computer viruses. WWFCU contracts with a third-party technology specialist to try to penetrate our network and evaluate the security of our online applications and home banking site. WWFCU has successfully passed each evaluation and is annually certified as a secure site.
