BLUE GRASS FEDERAL FINGERPRINT CONSENT
Biometric services such as Apple Touch ID are available to log in to the Blue Grass Federal (“Blue Grass Federal”) Mobile App. Below is important information about this capability for you to review understand and to which you agree should you choose to enable this biometric service.
Description of Biometric Services with Blue Grass Federal Mobile App
Touch ID is a service provided by Apple iOS. Using Biometric Services with the Blue Grass Federal Mobile App allows you to use your fingerprint instead of entering your Access ID/Password to access the Blue Grass Federal Mobile App. Fingerprint information is stored on your device only. When Biometric Services are used to authenticate a fingerprint registered to your device a secure token is exchanged with the Blue Grass Federal Mobile App to permit access. Therefore, Blue Grass Federal never receives or sees your fingerprint information.
For information on how Apple protects your fingerprint and keychain data, please see Apple’s Privacy Policy and iOS security guides.
YOU UNDERSTAND
You understand that this consent is part of the Blue Grass Federal Mobile Banking and Mobile Deposit Agreement and by agreeing you understand that anyone with a fingerprint registered in the Touch ID on your device:
Has your authority to engage in the three activities described immediately above.
BLUE GRASS FEDERAL ADVISES YOU TO REVIEW AND CONFIRM THAT ALL REGISTERED FINGERPRINTS BELONG TO INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTHORITY TO TRANSACT ON YOUR BEHALF AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, BLUE GRASS FEDERAL RELIES ON YOUR REPRESENTATION THAT ANYONE WITH A REGISTERED FINGERPRINT HAS PROPER AUTHORITY.
