Morton Clarke Fu & Metcalf Inc. (“Morton Clarke”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not share non-public information about our clients with third parties except to administer (service) your account. This Privacy Disclosure Statement details our privacy policy.

How We Handle Your Personal Information

We do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when needed to complete transactions at your request or if we are compelled by law to do so. Here are the details:

As you know, we have an agreement with National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) whereby NFS provides trade execution, clearing and related services for your account. Under this agreement, your personal information is disclosed to NFS in order for them to perform these clearing services.

In order to complete certain transactions or account changes which you direct, it may be necessary to provide information about you and your account activity to companies, individuals, or groups that are not affiliated with Morton Clarke. For example, if you ask us to request a transfer-of-assets from another financial institution to Morton Clarke, we will need to provide certain information about you to that institution in order to complete the transaction.

We will release information about you and your transactions with us if you direct us to do so or when we are required to do so by laws, rules and/or regulations.

How We Protect Privacy Online

Our concern for the privacy of our customers extends to those who use our website: mortonclarke.com.

We don’t use them to pull data from your hard drive, to learn your e-mail address, or to view data in cookies created by our website. We do not share the information in our cookies or give others access to it.

How We Safe Guard Your Personal Information

We restrict access to information about you to Morton Clarke personnel who need to know the information in order to provide products or services to you. We maintain strict physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.

We’ll Keep You Informed

As required by federal law, we will notify you of our privacy policy annually. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, but rest assured that, if we do change it, we will advise you promptly.
