THE CONFIDENTIALITY, SECURITY, AND INTEGRITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
All of our employees are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of customers' financial and other personal information. Employees are bound by this Privacy Policy Notice and are educated on implementing our privacy and information security policies. Only employees actively engaged in their assigned duties are authorized to access or use customer information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to comply with federal standards to store and secure information about you.

YOUR RIGHT TO BLOCK THE DISCLOSURE
OF YOUR NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you prefer that we not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to third parties, you may opt out of those disclosures, that is, you may direct us not to make those disclosures (other than as permitted by law). To opt out, follow the instructions contained on the following Opt Out Notice. You will check the appropriate box or boxes, sign the notice, address and stamp your own envelope, and mail the card to us by ordinary mail.

YOUR RIGHT TO LIMIT MARKETING
You may limit our affiliates from marketing their products or services to you based on information that we share with them, such as your income, your account history with us, and your credit score. This limitation does not apply in certain circumstances, such as if you currently do business with one of our affiliates or if you ask to receive information or offers from them. To limit marketing by our affiliates, follow the instructions contained on the Opt Out Notice below. You will check the appropriate box, sign the notice, address and stamp your own envelope, and mail the card to us by ordinary mail.

CONSEQUENCES OF OPTING OUT
Your decision to block the disclosure of your information or to limit marketing by our affiliates will apply to information collected in connection with your AFWES account. If you wish to opt out of information sharing with respect to your AFWES account you must provide us with an Opt Out instruction by using and mailing in the form on this page. If you previously provided us with an opt out instruction with respect to another account issued by AFWES, we will continue to honor that instruction; you may, but need not, complete another opt out instruction. Your election to opt out will not block our sharing of all the information we collect with companies that perform marketing services on behalf of AFWES or with financial institutions with which AFWES has a joint marketing agreement. Additionally, your election to opt out will not prevent us from disclosing to our affiliates the information we obtain from our transactions and experiences with you; however, our affiliates will not use such information for marketing purposes if you have directed them not to do so. Finally, we will continue to make certain other disclosures of your nonpublic personal information as permitted by law.
