Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage and browser information about how you use our Site. The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies and web beacons that permit us to verify system and server integrity and generate statistics around the popularity of certain content. We process the information collected through such technologies, which may include or be combined with Personal Information, to help operate certain features of our Site, to enhance your experience through personalization, and to help us better understand the features of our Site that you and other users are most interested in.
Website Delivery and Appearance – We may use third-party providers to enable certain customer interaction opportunities, content delivery (like audio or video), or other service capabilities. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following functionality:
- Content Delivery: We partner with service providers to host our Site and deliver specific content in support of our Services. For example, we partner with companies like Vimeo to deliver specific content delivery like audio and video.
- Customer Interaction: We enhance our customer interactions by offering features like Google Maps to locate our Service locations. Each of these offerings is governed by the terms, conditions, and policies of the underlying service provider. For example, please see Google Maps/Google Earth Terms of Service and Google’s Privacy Policy for more information on how that feature operates.
Website Analytics and Session Replay – We use analytics and session replay services that use cookies and other technologies that collect your Personal Information to assist us with analyzing our Site traffic and site usage to optimize, maintain, and secure our Site and inform subsequent business decisions (including, e.g., advertising). These include, but are not limited to, the following third-party services:
-
Google Analytics: To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data from sites or apps that use our services.” You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.
-
Crazy Egg: We use Crazy Egg to understand how visitors interact with our Site through tools such as heatmaps and session recordings. Crazy Egg may collect information about your device and interactions with our Site using cookies and similar technologies. For more information, please review Crazy Egg’s Privacy Policy. You may opt out of tracking by Crazy Egg by following the instructions on Crazy Egg’s Opt-Out page.
-
Pixels: We use Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok pixels to track user activity on our Site and improve downstream offerings, including interest-based advertising for our services and those of our partners and service providers.
Interest-Based Advertising – We may also allow or enable third parties to collect Personal Information to provide their interest-based advertising on behalf of our products and services, or their own. Interest-based advertising occurs when advertisements are shown to you based on information collected from your online interactions over time and across multiple websites, devices, or online services that you visit or use. Some companies may engage in cross-context behavioral advertising to predict your preferences and show you advertisements that are most likely to be of interest or relevant to you.
We do not control these third parties’ collection or use of your information for these purposes, or the opt-out options they may individually offer you via their terms, conditions, and privacy policies. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the applicable provider directly. Examples of the third-party service providers we engage to serve interest-based advertisements include Google Ads (including Google AdServices, Google Signals, and Google Dynamic Remarketing), Meta Ads (including Meta Pixels and Facebook advertising services), LinkedIn marketing solutions (including LinkedIn Ads, Pixels, and Analytics), and HubSpot Ads.
Selling Personal Information – While we do not sell Personal Information in exchange for monetary consideration, we do disclose Personal Information for other benefits that could be deemed a “sale” under various data protection laws because it is sometimes broadly defined to include activities such as the delivery of interest-based advertising on websites or allowing third parties to receive certain information, such as cookies, IP address, and/or browsing behavior.
Cookie Choices – To manage your preferences with respect to these technologies, you can:
- Customize your browser settings to refuse all or some browser cookies. If you disable certain cookies, please note that some parts of our Site may not function properly. These settings may be lost and require reconfiguration if you delete your cookies.
- Block the collection and use of your information by online platforms and ad tech companies for the purpose of serving interest-based advertising by visiting the opt-out pages of the self-regulatory programs of which those companies are members: National Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance (or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, if you are located in the European Economic Area). Please note that even if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you may still see “contextual” ads that are based on the context of what you are looking at on the websites and pages you visit.
- Review and execute any provider-specific instructions to customize your preferences or opt out of certain processing, including interest-based advertising, by third-party service providers. For example, to opt out of this type of advertising by Google, customize your ad preferences, or limit Google’s collection or use of your data, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Meta also offers an Ad Preferences center to customize your settings, as well as a Privacy Policy with additional information on how you can exercise your rights.
How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
We retain your Personal Information for as long as needed: (i) to provide our Services; (ii) fulfill the purposes outlined in this Notice; and (iii) to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce any agreements. Criteria we will use to determine how long to retain your Personal Information include the nature and length of our relationship with you; our legal rights, obligations, and retention requirements; and whether we have a business purpose for retaining your Personal Information, such as communicating with you about our Services.
Links to Third-Party Websites
We are not responsible for the practices employed by any websites or services linked to or from our Site, including the information or content contained within them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing Personal Information to third parties, since any Personal Information disclosed will be handled in accordance with the applicable third party’s privacy policy.
In some cases, we offer links to social media platforms (like Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube) that enable you to easily connect with us or share information on social media. Any content you post via these social media pages is subject to the terms and privacy policies for those platforms.

International Use and Cross-Border Transfers
If you are visiting our Site from outside of the United States, please note that our Site is hosted in the United States. Where permitted by applicable law, we may transfer the Personal Information we collect about you to the United States and other jurisdictions that may not be deemed to provide the same level of data protection as your home country, as necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice.
For individuals in the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland, and United Kingdom: We will only transfer Personal Information to third parties located outside of these regions when we have ensured appropriate safeguards for such Personal Information through standard contractual clauses or other lawful and approved methods.
How We Protect Personal Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

- Withdraw Consent – The right to withdraw your consent where we are relying on your consent to process your Personal Information.

You may also have the right, depending on your location, to consent or opt out of (a) this automated decision-making or (b) any profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not profile you or other individuals in a manner that would result in legal or similarly significant effects, or engage in automated decision-making, so we do not offer an opt out of such activity.
- Lodge a Complaint – The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or other regulatory agency if you believe we have violated any of the rights afforded to you under applicable data protection laws. We encourage you to first reach out to us so we have an opportunity to address your concerns directly before you do so.
To exercise any of the privacy rights afforded to you under applicable data protection laws, please e-mail us at keeslerfederal@kfcu.org. You will not be discriminated against in any way by virtue of your exercise of the rights listed in this Notice. However, should you withdraw your consent or object to processing of your Personal Information, or if you choose not to provide certain Personal Information, we may be unable to provide some, or all, of our Services to you.
Only you, or an authorized agent that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your Personal Information. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests, and if we cannot verify your identity, we may request additional information from you. If you are an authorized agent making certain requests on behalf of another person, we will also need to verify your identity, which may require proof of your written authorization or evidence of power of attorney. We endeavor to respond to requests within the time period required by applicable law. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your requests unless they are excessive or repetitive. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. We may deny certain requests, or only fulfill some in part, as permitted or required by law. If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your request and you are afforded a right to appeal such decision, you will be notified of our appeal process in our response to your request.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect or solicit any Personal Information from children, as defined under applicable law, without verified written parental consent. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child, we will promptly take steps to delete that information.
