Investment Hunters Group (which shall be referred herein as “Company”) is committed to protecting our customers' personal and billing information. In the course of providing you with Company services, we need to collect and maintain certain nonpublic personal information about you. This Privacy Statement answers some questions about what nonpublic personal information we collect, what we do with it, and how we protect it.
What types of nonpublic personal information about me does Company collect? When you apply for or maintain an account with Company, we may collect personal information. In some cases we will collect information from consumer-reporting agencies.
What types of nonpublic personal information about me does Company disclose? Company discloses the nonpublic personal information about you described above, primarily to provide you with the services you seek from us. We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about former customers, except as required or permitted by law.
What types of companies (other than those companies used to service transactions) does Company disclose my nonpublic personal information to? In some limited circumstances, Company may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to a services company with which we have a marketing program. The information shared is limited to your name and contact information. If you exercise your right to not share this information (opt-out) with these service companies, your information will not be disclosed. You may be notified of product updates and releases, enrolled in newsletter subscriptions, and other informational programs in order to provide you with Company and/or third party affiliate services.
What are my rights to opt-out of disclosure and how can I exercise them? If you prefer that we do not disclose nonpublic personal information about you to the services companies described in the paragraph above, you may opt-out of those disclosures, that is, you may direct us not to make those disclosures (other than those disclosures required by law). If you have communicated with or have been contacted by these marketing programs, and choose to opt-out of information sharing, contact the appropriate company directly and follow their opt-out instructions. Opt-out options can be found under personal settings after sign-in. If you choose to opt-out, please allow six to eight weeks for the change to take affect.
What other types of entities might Company disclose my nonpublic personal information? Company may disclose information we collect from you, such as your contact information, to service providers who perform marketing functions on our behalf. Specifically, your name, address and/or email address are sometimes provided to vendors who send email or regular mail on Company's behalf.
We disclose information to nonaffiliated companies that work for us in providing services to you. For example, we provide information to nonaffiliated companies that prepare and mail statements and transaction confirmations. These companies acting on our behalf are required to keep your personal information confidential.
We may disclose information, as permitted by law, to our affiliated companies. By sharing information about your accounts and relationships with our affiliated companies, we can offer you a broader range of services, improve your experience with us, and serve you more efficiently.
Finally, Company discloses nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties as permitted or required by law. These parties include government/regulatory organizations such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Disclosures for which you have provided your consent are also permitted.
How does Company protect the confidentiality and security of my nonpublic personal information?

We protect your account information by placing it on the secure portion of our website. Our servers have been enabled with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing your nonpublic personal information that you give or access during a secure session.

Company conducts internal audits of its business practices and procedures in order to protect your personal information. However your participation in Company's programs will not affect your status on the Local, State, and Federal Do Not Call Lists.
