Privacy Policy
The confidentiality of client information is an
important concern of Lek Securities Corporation ("LSC").
We take precautions to safeguard client personal information at
all times, and we will remain vigilant in protecting that information.
The provisions of this privacy notice will apply to former
clients as well as current clients.
LSC collects personal information about you that is
either required or necessary to provide you with financial products or
services. We may obtain this information from the following sources.
-
Information we receive, from you on account applications, forms and
other information that you provide to us, whether in writing, in
person, by telephone or by any other means.
This information may include your name, address, telephone
number, social security number, occupation, assets and income.
-
Information about your transactions with us or a non-affiliated
third party such as account balances, payment history and account
activity.
-
Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency, such as
your credit bureau reports and other information relating to your
creditworthiness.
LSC will only disclose certain information about
you as permitted by law, under the following circumstances:
-
Where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law
to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities.
-
To consumer reporting agencies.
-
To our service providers to help us process your applications or
service your accounts. These
service providers, in turn, are required to protect the
confidentiality and security of any information we give to them and
may not reuse it for any other purpose.
LSC restricts access to your personal account(s)
and information to those employees who need to know that information to
provide products or services to you.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that
comply with the industry standards to safeguard your nonpublic personal
information. Third parties
who have access to such personal information must agree to follow
appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.
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 for you: We will ask for the business name, business
address, Employer Identification Number, and other information that
allows us to identify the business and signatories. We may also ask to
see other identifying documents showing existence of the business.
We trust that this clarifies LSC’s position on
client confidentiality, and look forward to being of service to you in
the future.
