Privacy is our priority.
We are committed to protecting our customers' personal information. In the course of
providing financial products and services, we need to collect and maintain certain personal
information. This Privacy Policy answers some questions about what personal information we
collect and why, what we do with it, and how we protect it.
What types of personal information do we collect?
When you apply for, open, or maintain an account with us, or when you agree to allow us to
provide personalized advisory services, we collect the following types of information:
Information you provide online and on applications or other forms, or through discussions we
have with you or your representatives, such as your name, address, date of birth, investment
experience, risk tolerance, and any information about your personal investment goals or
objectives. Information about your transactions with or through us, such as your account
balance, trading activity and account history, if applicable.
Why Do We Collect Personal Information?
We use and disclose personal information for the purposes that we have disclosed to you,
except as otherwise permitted by law. We will request your consent before we use or disclose
your information for any materially different purpose. Unless specifically described below,
consent may be obtained in any legally sufficient method. For example, depending on the
circumstance and the laws of your jurisdiction, consent may be obtained by providing you with
notice and the opportunity to opt-out.
In general, we collect, use and disclose personal information to meet the needs of our
customers and for our business purposes, including:

• to manage our websites and services;
• to understand our customers and their needs;
• to learn about our markets and design and improve our services and related products;
• to administer and process any request for information or job application;
• to comply with our regulatory and legal obligations, including but not limited to warrants,
subpoenas and court orders or to meet government tax reporting requirements;
• to contact you (including by way of e-mail), including:
• in response to your inquiries and comments, and to safeguard your interests;
• to provide you with information about our products and services, or those of others, that you
may be interested in;
• to investigate suspicious activities; and
• to protect our rights and property.
We may collect personal information from visitors to our websites and individuals who
participate in a promotion, contest or survey (including online or via telephone). We may use
this information to advise them of products, services and other marketing materials which may
be of interest to them. We may also invite visitors to participate in market research, surveys
and similar activities.
In the event we propose to buy or sell any business or assets, we may disclose your information
in an anonymized form. This information would only be disclosed to a prospective buyer or
seller and would also be anonymized. In the event of an acquisition or merger we will give you
notice if, and before, there is any transfer of information.
Where do we store personal information?
Generally, the personal information that we collect from you will be stored in the United States
and other countries, which may have different privacy laws and standards than those in your
country of residence.
It is important to note that some or all of your personal information provided to third party
service providers may be held in countries other than your own, including in particular the
United States. You acknowledge and understand that your personal information will be subject
to the applicable laws of each such jurisdiction, which may not provide for the same protection
as your country of residence. For example, government entities in the United States and other
countries may have certain legislative rights to access your personal information. If you have
questions about our policies and practices with respect to service providers outside your
jurisdiction, including the collection, use, disclosure or storage of such personal information by
our service providers worldwide.
Information you provide online and on applications or other forms, or through discussions we
have with you or your representatives, such as your name, address, date of birth, investment
experience, risk tolerance, and any information about your personal investment goals or
objectives. Information about your transactions with or through us, such as your account
balance, trading activity, and account history, if applicable.
How do we protect the confidentiality and security of personal information?
We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your
personal information. We place your account information on the secure portion of our website,
using firewalls and other security technology to protect our network and systems from external
attacks, and we require you to enter a unique user name and password to access your account
information online. Our servers are enabled with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to
prevent unauthorized parties from viewing the personal information that you provide or access
during a secure session (look for the padlock icon on your browser). In addition, if you access
information online, we use digital certificate services to authenticate that you are transacting
with our website and not the website of an impostor.
Our employees and third party service providers have access to your personal information only
on a "need to know" basis. We conduct regular internal audits of our business practices and
procedures in order to protect your personal information.
How long do we keep your personal data for?
Your personal data will be stored for the duration of your active EandE subscription for
general usage of the site and communication purposes.
If your subscription falls into inactive status, we will dispose of your data within 90 days. In
some cases we may keep a hash of your e-mail address to prevent repeated usage of the free
trial.
Use of automated decision-making and profiling
In some cases, your data may be used to create a "profile" in an automated fashion. This profile
information may be provided to third parties for analysis in order to provide you with a better
customer experience.

successfully demonstrate that your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, we will
correct or update the information as required.
