ETT has always been committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of personal information about our current and prospective customers. We understand that privacy is an important issue for you, and we want you to understand how we work to protect your privacy when we collect information about you.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

It is our policy not to release your personal information except as permitted by law, requested by you or set forth below. Within ETT, we restrict access to your personal information to those who require it to provide products or services to you.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. These safeguards include limiting access to data and periodically testing our security technology.

We also may share personal information:

  • financial services providers, such as introducing brokers, broker/dealers, futures commission merchants, investment companies, investment advisers, commodity trading advisers and commodity pool operators
  • to other non-affiliated third parties with your consent, at your request or as permitted or required by law.

OPT OUT NOTICE

If you prefer that ETT not disclose non-public personal information about you to non-affiliated third parties, you may opt out of those disclosures. That is, you may direct ETT not to make those disclosures, other than disclosures permitted or required by law. Any customer who decides to opt out of these disclosures to non-affiliated third parties must notify us by sending an e-mail to ett@edwardthomas.com.
