How and Why We Obtain Personal Data
We endeavor to collect your personal data directly from you wherever possible. However, the nature of the services we perform and the context in which we handle your personal data can often result in us collecting your personal data from numerous sources, including but not limited to: Information provided by you or your representative on applications or forms (for example, name, address, government identification or passport number, birth date, assets and income); transactional activity in your account (for example, trading history and balances); other interactions with Investors Trust (for example, discussions with our customer service staff or information you enter into our websites); information services and consumer reporting agencies (for example, to verify your identity, to assess your credit-worthiness or to better understand your product and service needs); information provided by you or your representative regarding your preferences (for example, your choice to receive electronic statement delivery, or the screen layout you specify if you use our Internet sites); and information from other sources with your consent or with the consent of your representative.
When we collect personal data, rest assured we will take great care to protect it and that we will only use the information for its intended purposes. This includes using your personal data to: service and maintain your account; process transactions in your account; respond to inquiries from you or your representative; develop, offer, and deliver products and services; or to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements.
How We Protect Your Information
Investors Trust takes information security very seriously and we use a broad range of tools and techniques to prevent and detect incidents that might adversely affect information we hold. We employ physical, electronic and procedural controls and we regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology. Within Investors Trust and among our service providers, we restrict access to personal data to those who require it to provide products and services to you.
How We May Use The Personal Data We Collect
The extent to which we share your personal data will vary depending on your circumstances and relationship with us, but your personal data will be shared with one or more of the following: Investors Trust affiliates, including internal service providers (for example, our data processing company and printing operation); unaffiliated service providers (for example, printing and mailing companies, securities clearinghouses, and other entities who may provide services at Investors Trust's direction); government agencies, other regulatory bodies and law enforcement officials (for example, for insurance regulatory purposes or for reporting suspicious transactions); other organizations, with your consent or as directed by you or your representative (for example, if you use Investors Trust as a financial reference in applying for credit with another institution); or as permitted or required by law (for example, for fraud prevention). Investors Trust does not share personal data about our customers with unaffiliated third parties for use in marketing their products and services.
