We are providing you with access to this privacy notice to inform you of how we handle investor’s personal information that we collect and may disclose to our affiliates. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, but not all, sharing. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Check your state for more information on your rights under state law.

Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. If we change our information practices, we will provide you with notice of any material changes. This privacy policy supersedes any prior disclosure concerning our privacy policies.

When We May Disclose Your Personal Information to Unaffiliated Third Parties. We do not share your personal information for marketing, or joint marketing purposes. We will only share your personal information collected, as described above, with unaffiliated third parties:

• at your request;
• with unaffiliated third parties, such as our clearing firms, product sponsors, and banks in order to carry out your instructions;
• with unaffiliated third-party vendors in order to create and maintain records of your account, such as when we provide information about your account to third party vendors to create a statement;
