First We Had The Pentagon Papers, Then The Epstein Files, Next Up The "Duck" Tapes?

 As you know, most of the 70 questions submitted by SECU members at the Annual Membership Meeting [link] were not answered by Ms. Brady, but a promise was made to post a complete list of Q&A by the end of October.  

I case you didn't notice, an additional limitation on SECU member rights was added at this Annual Meeting - the Q&A was restricted to 30 minutes, so as not to "inconvenience members".

✔ Is SECU member participation in their credit union becoming a "No, No" ? 

First we had the "no formal proposal proposal", then the "no bylaw amendments amendments", then the "no member resolutions resolution", ... and now the "no Q&A, Q&A"?

😎 What next? The "no membership membership meeting"?

  Hope we're not waiting on..."The Great Pumpkin"! 

The 2026 SECU Annual Meeting Q&A Recap: Privacy Rights - Do North Carolinians Deserve Less Protection?

  Why penalize local N.C. folks?

✅ While we wait on our CEO's answer as to how committed SECU is to protecting  member privacy in an increasingly dangerous world of skimming, scamming, hacking, phishing and ransomware, shouldn't SECU offer at least equal privacy protection to all SECU members?

😎 Did anybody answer "no" to that question? Didn't think so. 

✅ SECU discloses and already administers a separate privacy policy for SECU members in California  [here take a look - "California Notice"]. Just a few of the greater protections offered to members in California ("CCPA") and clearly spelled out:

✔ We do not “sell” or “share,” and have not “sold” or “shared” (as those terms are defined in the CCPA) in the preceding 12 months, Personal Information subject to the CCPA.

✔ Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information over the past 12 months:             

•  The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you. 
•  Our business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information about you.
•  The categories of third parties to whom we disclose your Personal Information. 
•  The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.

 ✔ Right to Data Portability. You may request and obtain a copy of your Personal Information in a portable and, if technically feasible, readily-usable format that allows you to transmit the Personal Information to another person or entity without hindrance.

✔ Right to Deletion. You may request that we delete your Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions. 

✔ Right to Correction. You may request that we correct Personal Information we have collected about you that is inaccurate. 

 ✔ Right to Non-Retaliation. You have a right not to be retaliated against for exercising your rights under the CCPA, including when you are an employee, job applicant, or independent contractor.

😎 Can a North Carolina member of SECU "opt-in" on these broader, clearer, and fairer privacy protections? Why not?

  Why not "Do the 'Right to' thing"? ... to better protect all of us?
