to the following privacy principles:
WE DO NOT COLLECT, MAINTAIN OR

NEBA does not have any direct customer
relationships with consumers. When we receive, maintain and disclose consumer personal information,

customers' personal information.
WE COLLECT, MAINTAIN AND DISCLOSE
PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLY AS NECESSARY TO PERFORM SERVICES FOR OUR
MEMBERS.
We handle personal consumer information
only as necessary to carry out the services our members have
requested us to perform for them. At the direction of our members,
we may disclose personal information to third parties with whom our members have a business relationship, such as credit bureaus,
consultants and other vendors. We may also share personal
information with our own vendors, subject to obligations of confidentiality, and only to
the extent necessary to support our services to our members. With the
permission of our members, we may use aggregate data, not
identifiable to any individual, to validate the accuracy and quality of fraud prevention and
risk-control products used by our members. We also will disclose consumer information in
response to a lawful request issued by a court, government agency or
regulatory authority with jurisdiction to make that request.
WE ASSIST OUR MEMBERS IN INFORMING
CONSUMERS ABOUT THE GENERAL USES OF THEIR INFORMATION.
We encourage our members to provide
consumers with a timely and complete privacy notice. As a natural
part of our processing business, we may assist our members in
preparation and mailing of privacy notices and recording and
tracking consumer privacy choices. If we are contacted directly by
a consumer regarding information that we maintain, we endeavor to
direct the consumer to the appropriate member, so that institution
can assist the customer according to its own privacy policies.
