Personal information we may disclose

We occasionally disclose nonpublic personal information about you to non-affiliates as permitted by law. For example:
  • We disclose certain information we collect in order to place trades on your behalf.
  • We may disclose information in connection with legal proceedings, such as responding to a subpoena.
To comply with federal regulations, information we receive from you will be used to verify your identity. We do not sell any information to any third parties.

If you close your account(s) or we lose contact with you, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice.

We restrict access to your nonpublic personal information to authorized employees. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

When information is shared with third parties, they are not permitted to use the information for any purpose other than to assist our servicing of your account(s) or as permitted by law.

This statement applies to both Capital Guardian Trust Company and its Nevada affiliate Capital Guardian Trust Company, a Nevada Corporation.
