An "Oscar"-winning performance?
It's increasing difficult to ever resolve any important question asked of SECU. Member privacy is the latest example. Our CEO Leigh Brady consistently avoids the truth and repeatedly refuses to simply level with the members of SECU. Why fear SECU members, why fear the truth?
😎 Calling for the truth has outraged our trolls - that's a good sign!: Anonymous November 5, 2026 at 11:34 AM "Just
so you are aware, EVERY member who uses online access must agree to the
terms of use. It’s vital to legally protecting SECU. What a joke this
blog is. Stop spreading misinformation. Branch staff are tired of
getting this crap from members"
You have several choices about which phrase is most important in that comment, but hope you will carefully consider the statement that: "It’s vital to legally protecting SECU."
✔ Has "legally protecting SECU" become more important than protecting the members of SECU? If not, then:
- Why does SECU put members on the risk with SECU's "third parties"? "Third-party links: ... SECU is not responsible..." for potential misuse of private member info. You as a member are! [link].
- Why abuse member privacy rights by running faux surveys administered by one of those outside "third parties"? [link] How is that "legally protecting SECU"?
- Why did our CEO refuse to give a straight answer to the privacy question presented in accordance with the rules of the Annual Meeting? [link - it's #15 on the PDF] . Makes SECU look shifty!
- And BTW in the above bullet point, "the check printer" has never asked members for their "gender, ethnicity, marital status, annual income. date of birth, rent/own housing status, and education level." Another blushable moment?
- Why does SECU not provide better "California level" privacy protections to all SECU members - not just those living in California? [link] Why do North Carolinians deserve less protection and fewer privacy rights from SECU?
- Those broader, member friendly privacy rights include: Do not “sell” or “share, Right to Know, Right to Data Portability, Right to Deletion, Right to Correction, Right to Non-Retaliation. Don't all SECU members deserve the same rights?
- Does SECU sell (or just give it away for that matter!) our private member data? What, to whom, why?
- Can a North Carolina member "opt out" as permitted for California members? Why not?
- Will it be okay to ask an Advisory Board member to submit these questions to our CEO at an upcoming meeting? Will a member be denied service if they ask for some straight answers ?
- As our troll pointed out: What are branch folks suppose to tell their members about "this crap"? That our privacy policy is a "joke"?
