BECU California Consumer Privacy Notice
Last Updated: June 2, 2026
Boeing Employees' Credit Union (BECU or we) is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of our members and others who trust us with their personal information. This California Consumer Privacy Notice (California Privacy Notice) applies to residents of California.
As a financial institution, most of the personal information we collect, use, and disclose is exempt from the CCPA, but other privacy laws may apply, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Fair Credit Reporting Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and California Financial Information Privacy Act. This California Privacy Notice also does not apply to Publicly Available Information, Deidentified Data, and Aggregated Consumer Information (all of which are terms defined in the CCPA).
This California Privacy Notice serves as BECU's Notice at Collection, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you are an employee, job applicant or independent contractor, please see the BECU Applicant Privacy Notice, or the BECU Employee Privacy Notice.
I. DEFINITIONS

II. WHEN DOES THIS CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE APPLY?
This California Privacy Notice covers the twelve (12) months prior to the “Last Updated” date above. This California Privacy Notice is reviewed and updated (if necessary) at least once per year. If this California Privacy Notice conflicts with the BECU Online Privacy Notice, this California Privacy Notice will govern as to CCPA Personal Information, unless expressly stated otherwise. If BECU's Processing materially changes between updates to this California Privacy Notice, BECU will provide a supplemental notice when or before the changes apply.

F. Retention of CCPA Personal Information
BECU will retain CCPA Personal Information [as described in this Notice] as long as necessary to achieve the purpose(s) for which it was collected, as permitted by the CCPA.
Because of the many purposes and use cases for CCPA Personal Information, we are unable to provide retention periods based on categories of CCPA Personal Information in a way that would be meaningful and transparent to you. Actual retention periods for CCPA Personal Information depend on how long we have a legitimate purpose for the retention — consistent with the collection purposes and applicable law.
G. Use of Beca
It is your choice to use Beca to help answer your financial questions, provide personalized insights, and suggest next steps based on information you share with us or consent to us collecting (such as your credit report information). These insights are intended to help you better understand your finances and explore options, but they are informational only and not a guarantee or financial advice, and you should verify details before taking action. BECU will not use Beca to make any decisions, including but not limited to lending decisions or creditworthiness.
H. No ADMT Use
BECU may use CCPA Personal Information to help us make decisions concerning you that could have a significant impact on you. BECU does not, however, use automated decision-making technology (ADMT) to do so. The term ADMT means technology that Processes CCPA Personal Information and uses computation to make a significant decision without human involvement, including human review and analysis of the output of the technology and the authority to change the decision.
For purposes of the CCPA, BECU does not make a significant decision about financial or lending services, housing opportunities, education enrollment or opportunities, employment or independent contracting opportunities or compensation, or healthcare services using ADMT without human involvement. If our practices with ADMT change, BECU will provide you with the required ADMT-related notices and rights.
IV. WHAT CONSUMER PRIVACY RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW CAN YOU EXERCISE THEM?
If you are a California Consumer, BECU provides you with the privacy rights described in this Section IV subject to our verification requirements, and only with respect to CCPA Personal Information.
A. PRIVACY RIGHTS
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, which we will explain to you in response to your request if we are relying on an exception, you may have the following rights:
1. Right to Know / Access
You are entitled to access CCPA Personal Information up to twice per 12-month period.
a) Right to Know (Categories) of CCPA Personal Information
You have a right to submit a request for the following information: The categories of CCPA Personal Information that we collected from or about you.
- The categories of sources from which your CCPA Personal Information was collected.
- BECU's Business Purpose(s) or Commercial Purpose(s) for collecting, Selling and Sharing your CCPA Personal Information.
- The categories of Third Parties to which BECU disclosed your CCPA Personal Information.
b) Right to Know (Specific Pieces) of CCPA Personal Information
You have a right to submit a request to (i) confirm the specific pieces of CCPA Personal Information we have collected about you and (ii) receive a copy of the CCPA Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable and transportable format to the extent technically feasible.
2. Right to Delete
You have a right to request that BECU delete the CCPA Personal Information about you which BECU has collected from you, unless BECU has a basis for retaining it under the CCPA.
3. Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies that you find in the CCPA Personal Information about you maintained by us. You also can make certain changes to your online account (e.g., name and password) in the account settings section of the account. Changing your account settings may not, however, change your CCPA Personal Information that exists in other places.
4. Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Share
You have the right to request to opt-out of the Sale or Sharing of your CCPA Personal Information (Right to Opt-Out).
We use cookies and similar technology (Tracking Technology) to provide features of BECU Services. Third-party digital businesses which are not limited to acting as our Vendors may use Tracking Technology to collect CCPA Personal Information about you on BECU Services or otherwise Process CCPA Personal Information about you that we make available. This Processing by third-party digital businesses is a Sale/Share and subject to the Right to Opt-Out.
If you want to submit a request to exercise the Right to Opt-Out (Request to Opt-Out) for CCPA Personal information collected by Tracking Technology, you can update your preferences here. Otherwise, to submit a Request to Opt-Out, please use BECU's privacy request form.
The CCPA requires us to recognize certain types of signals, referred to as Opt-Out Preference Signals in the CCPA. Opt-Out Preference Signals are signals sent by a technology tool enabled by a California Consumer on a device or browser that communicates the California Consumer's Request to Opt-Out.
We currently look for and recognize the global privacy control (GPC) signal, a type of Opt-Out Preference Signal. To use the GPC, you can download an internet browser or a plugin to use on your current internet browser and follow the settings to enable the GPC. We process GPC signals with respect to Selling and Sharing that may occur and apply it to the specific browser or device on which you enable the GPC, as well as any profile associated with that browser or device. We do not change your experience with any BECU product or service or change an extra fee if you use GPC or display a notification, pop-up, text, graphic, animation, sound, video, or any interstitial in response to the GPC, except that we will display a message acknowledging the signal.
Certain web browsers also may provide a do-not-track (DNT) option. You may be able to ask your browser to inform websites that you do not wish your activities to be tracked, either with cookies or other persistent identifiers, commonly called “DNT signals.” Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser-based DNT signals other than cookies, our websites do not currently respond to DNT signals.
5. Right to Limit Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
You have the right to request to limit certain uses or disclosures of your Sensitive Personal Information (Right to Limit), subject to certain exceptions and limitations, such as when use of your CCPA Personal Information is necessary to provide a service you requested or to prevent, detect, and investigate a security incident.
6. Right to Opt-Out of or Access ADMT (when applicable)
For purposes of the CCPA, BECU does not make a significant decision about financial or lending services, housing opportunities, education enrollment or opportunities, employment or independent contracting opportunities or compensation, or healthcare services using ADMT without human involvement. If our practices with ADMT change, BECU will provide you with the required ADMT-related rights.
B. HOW TO EXERCISE PRIVACY RIGHTS
To submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, or to submit a request as an authorized agent, visit BECU's privacy request form, call us at 800-233-2328, or contact us here. Please check for and respond to any follow-up inquiries we make. Please be aware that we do not accept or process requests through other means.
C. HOW BECU VERIFIES A PRIVACY RIGHT REQUEST
As permitted or required by the CCPA, when you make a privacy right request, we may ask you to provide verifying information, such as your name, email, phone number, account and/or transaction information, as described below, so that we can reasonably verify you are the California Consumer about whom we collected CCPA Personal Information (Verifiable Consumer Request).
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf (your authorized agent), may make a Verifiable Consumer Request related to your CCPA Personal Information or the information of your minor child.
BECU verifies each request as follows:
- Right to Know (Categories): We verify your request to a reasonable degree of certainty, which may include matching at least two (2) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying you.
- Right to Know (Specific Pieces): We verify your request to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may include matching at least three (3) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying you together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the California Consumer whose CCPA Personal Information is the subject of the request. If you fail to provide requested information, we will be unable to verify you sufficiently to honor your request, but we will then treat it as a Right to Know (Categories) request.
- Right to Delete: We verify your request to a reasonable degree of certainty, which may include matching at least two (2) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, or to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may include matching at least three (3) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, depending on the sensitivity of the CCPA Personal Information and the risk of harm posed by unauthorized deletion.
- Right to Correct: We verify your request to a reasonable degree of certainty, which may include matching at least two (2) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, or to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may include matching at least three (3) data points provided by you with data points maintained by us, depending on the sensitivity of the CCPA Personal Information and the risk of harm posed by unauthorized correction.
- Right to Opt-Out: We do not verify your Request to Opt-Out, but we may ask you for information necessary to complete the request.
- Right to Limit: We do not verify your request to Request to Limit, but we may ask you for information necessary to complete the request
We will review the information that you provide and may request additional information to ensure that we are interacting with the correct individual (except for a Request to Opt-out and Request to Limit).
We will not fulfill your Right to Know (Categories), Right to Know (Specific Pieces), Right to Delete, or Right to Correct request(s) unless you provide sufficient information for verification. If we are unable to verify you, we are unable to honor your request. We will use CCPA Personal Information provided for a Verifiable Consumer Request only to verify identity and authority to make the request and to track and document request responses unless you also gave it to us for another purpose, and will delete any new Personal Information collected for purposes of verification as soon as practical after processing your request.
D. AUTHORIZED AGENT REQUEST
You may use an agent to make a request to delete, request to correct, or a request to know. Before you can use an agent, BECU requires that you complete and submit an Authorized Agent Authorization Form [https://www.becu.org/forms/ccpa-agent] or provide a power of attorney to your agent pursuant to Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130 (POA).
We may require that you verify your identity or directly confirm that you authorized the agent to submit the request unless you provide a POA. Once verified by us or if your agent has a POA, your agent becomes an “Authorized Agent” and may exercise the rights to delete, correct, and know on your behalf, subject to the requirements of the CCPA.
You may use an agent to make to submit a Request to Opt-Out if you provide the agent written permission signed by you. BECU may deny a Request to Opt-Out from an agent if the agent does not provide the signed written permission. (The signed written permission requirement does not apply to requests made by an Opt-Out Preference Signal.)
E. BECU RESPONSES
BECU will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify CCPA Personal Information that we Process to respond to a privacy rights request. In some cases, particularly with voluminous requests, we may suggest that you receive a summary of your CCPA Personal Information and offer you the opportunity to elect whether you want to receive all of it. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access CCPA Personal Information yourself. We typically do not charge a fee to fully respond to privacy rights requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act upon a privacy rights request if the request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or overly burdensome (as permitted by the CCPA). If we determine that the request warrants a fee or that we may refuse it, we will notify you, explaining why we made that decision. We will provide a fee estimate and the opportunity to accept the fee before we charge you for responding to your request.
V. WHAT ELSE DO CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS NEED TO KNOW?
1. NON-DISCRIMINATION / NON-RETALIATION
BECU will not discriminate or retaliate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA for your exercise of your privacy rights. We may charge a different price or rate or offer a different level or quality of goods or services, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable CCPA Personal Information.
2. NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS
BECU does not currently offer financial incentives that are subject to the CCPA. If we provide financial incentives for California Consumers in the future, we will provide notice and obtain consent as required by applicable law.
3. OUR RIGHTS AND THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS
BECU may collect, use, and disclose your CCPA Personal Information as required or permitted by applicable law, which may override your rights under CCPA. In addition, we are not required to honor privacy rights requests if doing so would infringe on BECU's or another party's rights or conflict with applicable law
4. CALIFORNIA SHINE THE LIGHT LAW
California residents have the right to prevent disclosures of “personal information,” as defined by California's “Shine the Light” law, with third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes. BECU does not, however, disclose personal information within the scope of this law.
