Global Hunter Securities understands the importance of protecting your privacy.
We are honored that you have placed your trust in us and we are committed to safeguarding
the privacy of the information we maintain about you. Our policy is designed to
explain what information we collect from you, how we use that information and how
we protect the nonpublic personal information you have entrusted to us.
Information We Collect
Application and registration information.
We collect information from you when you open an account or use one of our other
services. We may also collect information from consumer reporting agencies to verify
your identity in the account-opening process or if you apply for a margin account.
The information we collect may include your name, address, phone number, email address,
Tax Identification or Social Security number and date of birth, as well as details
about your interests, investments and investment experience.
Transaction and experience information.
Once you have opened an account with us, we collect and maintain personal information
about your account activity, including your transactions, balances, positions and
history. This information allows us to administer your account and provide the services
you have requested.
Third-party information providers.
We may collect information about you from information services and consumer reporting
agencies to verify your identity, employment or creditworthiness, or to better understand
your financial needs.
Information you provide to us via our Website.
Information We Disclose
It is the policy of Global Hunter Securities LLC not to disclose any of your
nonpublic personal information to third parties without your consent, with the exception
of those parties who provide services or support to us and have agreed to keep your
nonpublic personal information confidential. An example of these parties is the
company we use to carry your account. Our privacy policy applies to all clients
with whom we have a relationship and is also extended to each of our former clients.
Safeguarding Your Information
Global Hunter Securities protects your nonpublic information from access by third
parties by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Companies
we use to provide support services are not allowed to use information about our
clients for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to maintain strict
confidentiality.
We limit their use of information to the performance of the specific services we
have requested. We limit access to your information to those employees who are trained
in the proper handling of nonpublic client information and who need access to the
information to perform their job functions.
