Therefore, there is no need for you to tell us not to share or sell your information. Scott Credit Union does not sell member information!

From time to time, we do mail information on products and services offered by third parties.

Conversely, SCU never provides mailing information to third parties for marketing purposes where SCU is not clearly identified as the source of such marketing information.

• Information we receive from you on member applications or other forms
