What we do

How does Granite State Credit Union protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

We collect your personal information, for example, when you:

• Open an Account

We also collect your personal information from others such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

We may collect information regarding your mobile device such as device settings, unique device identifiers, information about your location, and analytical information that may assist with diagnostics and performance. For your convenience, you may be asked to grant permission for access to your mobile device's geolocation data.

Why can’t I limit all sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only:

• Sharing for affiliates' everyday business purposes-information about your creditworthiness;
• Affiliates from using your information to market to you;
• Sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you.

State law and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
