Privacy Policy

The HCM privacy policy applies to consumers who are current or former HCM clients. Throughout the policy, we refer to information that personally identifies you or your accounts as "personal information."

  1. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.


  2. The law allows you to "opt out" of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. HCM does not share personal information about you with any third parties except for specific purposes described below, that triggers this opt out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT. HCM only shares personal information with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

    We disclose personal information to companies that help us process or service your transactions or account(s), including but not limited to, companies that clear and process your transactions, print and mail your account statements, verify your identity, consumer reporting agencies, third party software vendors and other financial institutions that HCM contracts with to service your account. This information may relate to your finances, employment, avocations or other personal characteristics, such as, your first and last name, address, phone number, social security number, and email address, as well as transactions and interactions with or through HCM or with others . HCM may also collect information about what you have entered into, viewed on and/or downloaded from HCM's website.

    Sometimes we enter into contracts with third parties so that they can assist us in servicing your account. The contracts prohibit them from using any of your personal information for their own purposes, and the third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we have provided to them.

    We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required or permitted under law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, resolve consumer disputes, perform credit/authentication checks, or for institutional risk control.

    For regulatory purposes, regulatory organizations including the NFA, CFTC and SROs require access to personal information of current and former clients, employees, agents, directors, officers, partners and others that has been collected or used by Regulated Persons. SROs collect, use or disclose such personal information obtained from Regulated Persons for regulatory purposes, including:
    • Surveillance of trading-related activity,
    • Sales, financial compliance, trade desk review and other regulatory audits,
    • Investigation of potential regulatory and statutory violations,
    • Regulatory databases,
    • Enforcement or disciplinary proceedings,
    • Reporting to securities regulators, and
    • Information-sharing with securities regulatory authorities, regulated marketplaces, other self-regulatory organizations and law enforcement agencies in any jurisdiction in connection with any of the foregoing.


  3. We collect personal information in the normal course of business in order to administer your accounts and serve you better.

    • Application and registration information. We collect information that you provide to us when you open an account. The information we collect may include name, address, phone number, email address, social security number, and information about your interests, investments, and investment experience. We also may collect information from consumer reporting agencies to verify your identity in the account opening process.

    • Anti-Money Laundering. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: When you open an account; we will ask your for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow HCM to identify you. HCM may ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents. HCM may also seek to verify the information you provide by checking various databases.

    • Transaction information. Once you have an account with us, to administer your account and better serve you, we collect and maintain personal information about your transactions, including balances, positions, and history, and may include your name or other data in an internal client list that reflects your activities at HCM.


  4. We use your personal information to help us deliver the best possible service to you.

    To understand your financial needs and to deliver financial products and services that meet them, we may share personal information, such as transaction or experience data, with various service providers, all of which follow similar privacy policies.


  5. We protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information.

    • Companies we hire to provide support services are not allowed to use your personal information for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality. We limit their use of your personal information to the performance of the specific service we have requested.

    • We restrict access to personal information to our employees and agents for business purposes only. All employees are trained and required to safeguard such information.

    • We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information.


  6. We continue to evaluate our efforts to protect personal information and make every effort to keep your personal information accurate and up to date.
