Collection of Personal Information

In the course of doing business, First Federal may collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other forms, such as your name, address, assets, and income.
  • Information about your transactions with us and our affiliate, North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc., or others. This may include your account balance, payment history, parties to transactions and credit card usage.
  • Information we receive from consumer reporting agencies, such as your creditworthiness and credit history.
  • Information through Internet session cookies.

An Internet session cookie is unique customer identifying information necessary to navigate online. The only instance First Federal uses an Internet cookie is to determine the length of time you have had an inactive online banking session. For example, if your online banking session is greater than a certain length of time, the system utilizes an automatic logoff function. The automatic logoff function increases your security by preventing others to proceed with online activity.
