The Interactive Brokers Group
does not sell or license information about Interactive Brokers customers
to third parties, nor do we sell customer lists or customer e-mail
addresses to third-party marketers.
At IB, we understand that the
confidentiality and security of the personal information that you
have shared with us is important to you. That's why we have developed
specific policies and practices that are designed to protect the
privacy of your personal information. By opening an account with
IB or by utilizing the products and services that are available
through IB, you have consented to the collection and use of your
personal information in accordance with the privacy policy set forth
below. We encourage you to read this privacy statement carefully.
In order to provide brokerage
services and in compliance with regulatory requirements, IB collects
certain personal, non-public information from you. This includes
information that you provide during the IB account application process
(e.g., your name, e-mail address, telephone number, birth date,
social security number, investment objectives, etc.), and acquired
as a result of the transactions you conduct through the IB system.
We safeguard the confidentiality of your information in a number
of ways. For example:
- We do not sell or license lists of our customers
or the personal, non-public information that you provide to
us.
- We restrict access to the personal, non-public
information that you have shared with us to those IB employees,
agents, and affiliates who need to know such information in
connection with the services that IB provides to you.
- We maintain strict employment policies that
prohibit employees who have access to your personal, non-public
information from using or disclosing such information except
for business purposes.
- We take substantial precautions to safeguard
your personal, nonpublic information. For example, the IB system
can be accessed only by authorized IB personal via valid user
names and passwords. In addition, our Internet-based systems
include security measures such as encryption and firewalls.
IB uses the personal, nonpublic
information that we collect from you to service your account (e.g.,
to qualify you for trading the products and using the services available
through the IB system and to execute and confirm your IB transactions).
In doing so, we may share such information with our employees, agents,
and affiliates.
We do not disclose personal, nonpublic
information to individuals or entities that are not affiliated with
IB, except as provided by law. For example, among other reasons
we may disclose or report such information: where necessary to authorize,
effect, administer, or enforce transactions that you request or
authorize; to maintain and administer your account; to provide you
with account confirmations, statements and records; to maintain
appropriate archival records; where we believe that disclosure is
required by applicable law, rules or regulations; to cooperate with
law enforcement or regulatory or self-regulatory organizations;
to enforce our customer and other agreements; to meet our obligations,
or to protect our rights and property.
Finally, if you choose to subscribe
to any of the Trader's Toolbox suite of third-party services that
are provided through the IB website, we may disclose such information
to the service providers as necessary for them to provide the services
that you have requested. IB requires these service providers to
enter into confidentiality agreements with IB that limit their use
of the information that they receive. Such agreements prohibit the
service provider from using IB customer information that they receive
other than to carry out the purposes for which the information was
disclosed.
If you have any questions about
these policies, please contact the IB Customer Service Department
