Web Page

As a visitor to Eastman Credit Union's web site, you will remain anonymous unless you choose to provide personal information in order to apply for credit union membership or credit union products and services. Please be advised that we may disclose information on your accounts or information contained in member files, provided to the credit union through this Web Site, to credit bureaus or agencies who have a legitimate purpose for obtaining the information.

Eastman Credit Union is committed to protecting the privacy of each individual who visits our web site or uses Online Banking. How we use and protect personal information is described below.

Protecting Online Applications

When you apply online for products or services, you provide personal information that is necessary for us to process your application. To ensure that your application remains confidential, the information is sent to us in a "secure session" established with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.

How We Handle E-Mail

Eastman Credit Union's staff may use personal information contained in e-mail messages to answer questions, follow up on suggestions or complaints, or improve the quality of our service.

For secure transmissions, your e-mails to us should be sent using the email section of this web site. Inquiries sent in this manner are secure and use SSL encryption.

Protecting Your Online Banking Transactions

Your private information is retained on our system and on Digital Insight's server (only in an encrypted form for a specified amount of time).

When Information Is Collected

When registering for Online Banking you are given an opportunity to provide us with an e-mail address. This is strictly optional and will only be used by Eastman Credit Union staff to provide you with information associated with the Online Banking product, or to deliver marketing information related to other Eastman Credit Union products and services. Additionally, when registering for Bill Pay an email address is required in order to allow Metavante to communicate with you via the internet.

When you use Online Banking, certain online information, including the transactions you conduct are recorded. This allows Eastman Credit Union staff to confirm your transactions.

We gather and analyze data regarding usage of our Web site, including domain name, pages visited, length of user session, etc., to evaluate the usefulness of our sites.


Browser Policy Statement

Browser Compatibility

Eastman Credit Union recognizes the diverse operating systems and internet browser software that our visitors may be using. While we want every visitor to have the best possible experience on our website, we recognize that it is impossible to develop programs and applications that work identically, efficiently and effectively with all browser software.

In an effort to provide our members with the best possible products and services, we will focus all future development and support on the latest two versions of major Internet browser software. We believe that utilizing current generation software will ultimately optimize your internet experience.

Certain older browser versions may currently work, but their continued use is not recommended, and will eventually lead to degradation of service and functionality. We recommend that anyone using older versions of browser software, upgrade to the most recent version.
