Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains the
manner in which ECM collects, utilizes and maintains nonpublic personal
information about its customers and those parties with whom ECM
FOREX has a prospective relationship (sometimes referred to herein
as “you”or “your”. This policy only applies to nonpublic personal
information of individuals (not entities).
Nonpublic Personal Information Collected: We collect nonpublic personal
information when you open and maintain an account with us or
inquire as to a financial product or service offered by us.
Specifically, we collect nonpublic personal information from the
following sources:
From account opening documents and any other forms delivered by
you to us (such as name, address, social security number or tax
identification number, assets, and income);
From transactions made by or with us (including account balances,
and cash deposits/withdrawals);
From entities outside of ECM FOREX (e.g., information obtained from
credit rating agencies);
From visits to an ECM FOREX web site (cookies may be used to track
your activities while on a web site, although cookies do not contain
personal information about you unless you knowingly provide it);
and
From any direct inquiry regarding an ECM FOREX product or financial
service (such as use of the ECM FOREX TradeStation System).
Sharing of Nonpublic Personal Information: We do not sell or rent
customer information. We do not disclose nonpublic personal information
about customers (current or former) to any nonaffiliated third parties
or to affiliated entities, except as permitted by law. Such instances
where information may be shared include:
To service providers in connection with the administration and servicing
of an account, which may include attorneys, accountants, auditors
and other professionals;
To affiliated companies in order to provide you with ongoing personal
advice and assistance with respect to the products and services
you have purchased through us and to introduce you to other products
and services that may be of value to you;
To respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process or to
regulatory authorities; and
To protect against fraud, unauthorized transactions (such as money
laundering), claims or other liabilities.
If you are a consumer and not a customer of ECM FOREX we may share
some or all of your personal information with entities not affiliated
with us as permitted by law. Please be advised, however, that we
only share such information with service providers that market our
products or services. Further, the information provided does not
include credit information, such as credit history, net worth, or
income information.
The law allows you to "opt out" of our sharing nonpublic
personal information about you in certain circumstances with affiliated
and nonaffiliated companies; that is, you may direct ECM FOREX to not
make such disclosures. We do not currently share information about
you with any affiliate or third party that triggers this opt out
right. Therefore, there is no need for you to opt out. If in the
future we desire to disclose your information in a way that is inconsistent
with this policy, we will notify you in advance and provide you
with the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.
Security Technology:We protect your account information by placing
it on the secure portion of the ECM FOREXs' web site, using various
tools such as firewalls and data encryption, and requiring you to
enter a unique username and password to access your account information
online. With respect to internal security procedures, we restrict
access to nonpublic personal information to those officers or employees
who need to know that information to perform services to our customers.
At ECM FOREX, we value the protection of our customers' nonpublic personal
information and will continue to do our best in making sure you
feel confident that our information safeguards satisfy your needs.
Changes In The Privacy Policy:We may make changes to our privacy
policy in the future. We will not make any change affecting you
without first sending you a revised privacy policy describing the
change. In any case, we will send customers a current privacy policy
at least once a year as long as such person is a customer.
Updating Your Nonpublic Personal Information:We work hard to keep
complete and accurate information about you and your accounts. If
you ever believe that our records are incorrect or incomplete, please
let us know. We will investigate and correct any inaccuracies as
quickly as possible. You may also update this information by contacting
us at the telephone number or e-mail address provided below. When
writing, please include your name, mailing address, telephone number
and, if possible, your account number.
Questions:Should you have any questions regarding our privacy policy,
please contact us by phone at 1-312-235-2628 and ask to speak to
an account representative or the ECM FOREX compliance department; all
e-mail inquiries should be directed to compliance@ECMFOREX.com.
