This policy outlines how RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software processes biometric data collected from you for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes.
As used in this policy, biometric data includes “biometric identifiers” and “biometric information”. “Biometric identifier” means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry. As the term is used in this policy, the selfie photograph you upload to the software for use in the biometric algorithm is considered a "biometric identifier." “Biometric information” means any information, regardless of how it is captured, converted, stored, or shared, based on an individual’s biometric identifier used to identify an individual.
To the extent that RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software collect, capture, or otherwise obtain biometric data relating to a consumer, RIPCO Credit Union must first:
Inform each consumer that RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software are collecting, capturing, or otherwise obtaining the employee’s biometric data, and that the RIPCO Credit Union is providing such biometric data to its vendors and the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software;
Inform the consumer of the specific purpose and length of time for which the consumer’s biometric data is being collected, stored, and used; and
Receive consent by the consumer authorizing RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software to collect, store, and use the consumer’s biometric data for the specific purposes disclosed by the RIPCO Credit Union, and for RIPCO Credit Union to provide such biometric data to its vendors and the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software.
RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software will not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from employees’ biometric data; provided, however, that the RIPCO Credit Union’s vendors and the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software may be paid for products or services used by RIPCO Credit Union that utilize such biometric data.
This policy is intended to comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software collect, store, and use biometric data solely for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes.
RIPCO Credit Union will not disclose or disseminate any biometric data to anyone other than its vendors and the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software providing products and services using biometric data without/unless:
First obtaining consumer consent to such disclosure or dissemination;
The disclosed data completes a financial transaction requested or authorized by the consumer;
Disclosure is required by law or ordinance; or
Disclosure is required pursuant to a valid warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
RIPCO Credit Union shall use a commercially reasonable standard of care to store, transmit and protect from disclosure any biometric data collected. Such storage, transmission, and protection from disclosure shall be performed in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which RIPCO Credit Union stores, transmits and protects from disclosure other confidential and sensitive information, including personal information that can be used to uniquely identify an individual or an individual’s account or property, such as genetic markers, genetic testing information, account numbers, PINs, driver’s license numbers and social security numbers.
RIPCO Credit Union shall retain consumer biometric data only until, and shall request that its vendors and the licensor of RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software permanently destroy such data when, the first of the following occurs:
The initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such biometric data has been satisfied, such as verification of consumer identity;
Request of consumer to destroy the biometric data; or
Within 30 days of consumer’s provisioning of biometric data.
If you have any questions about our use, storage, or security of your biometric data you can contact us at: ripco@ripco.org.
As outlined in the “Biometric Information Privacy Policy”, I understand and consent to the collection, use, retention, storage, and/or disclosure or re-disclosure of data or images from biometric verification technology by RIPCO Credit Union, its vendors, and/or the licensor of the RIPCO Credit Union’s consumer verification software. I acknowledge that I have been given a copy of the Policy, or that the Policy has been made accessible to me, and I have had an opportunity to review it and request any additional information concerning the RIPCO Credit Union’s procedures and safeguards
for collecting, maintaining, using, disclosing, sharing, storing, and/or destroying this data.

Ripco Credit Union respects the privacy of children. Ripco does not knowingly collect, maintain or use personal information from our website about children under age 13. We do not knowingly market to children, nor do we disclose any child’s personally identifiable information to any third party for marketing purposes.

It is the intent of Ripco Credit Union to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Act (COPPA) that governs and protects the privacy of our youngest members.
If young members send us email with their personal information for any reason, we will respond to their email as appropriate and then promptly delete the child’s email address.
We will not sell, give, or share their personal information to/with any third party vendor or any other organization. We will not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity.
We will use the “one time contact” exception under the rule if we collect children’s online contact information, and only this information, to enter them into a contest, and then only contact such children once the contest ends to notify them if they have won or lost. At that point, we will delete the online contact information we have collected.
