On occasion, such information may come from consumer reporting agencies and those providing services to us.
We do not sell information about our clients (whether current or former) to third parties. We do not disclose this information to third parties unless it is necessary to process a transaction or service an account. We may also disclose this information if otherwise legally permitted or required.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect information about our clients. Access to such information is limited to those who need it to perform their jobs, such as servicing your accounts or resolving problems or to inform you of products or services. Our Compliance Manual as well as our contracts with employees and agents restricts the use of your nonpublic personal information to those who need it to perform their jobs, such as servicing your accounts or resolving problems, and require that it be held in strict confidence.
We may share information between the two companies in the course of providing or offering products and services to best meet your investing needs.

However, use of information about our clients in such cases is severely restricted – the other party is prohibited from sharing or using it for any other purpose.
Finally, in order to assist in the timely transition of your account in the event that your financial adviser leaves us and becomes associated with another securities firm, we may provide your client information to your financial adviser and/or the broker/dealer that your financial adviser becomes associated with.
