Fulcrum Global Partners LLC is committed to safeguarding the privacy of information our clients entrust to us. This is essential to our goal of providing our clients with the best in financial services research and trading capabilities. Protecting the confidentiality and security of client information has always been an integral part of how we conduct our business. This policy explains our use of information we collect through our website.

Information Gathered by Us

Other than Internet cookies (which we explain below under "Our Use of Cookies"), we do not gather nonpublic personal information about our clients or other people visiting our website. "Nonpublic personal information" is information about you that you disclose to us, including:

We do gather and analyze data regarding the usage of our website, such as how many people visit a web page, the number of pages visited, length of user session, etc., to evaluate the usefulness of our website. This information is gathered on an anonymous basis.

Information You Provide to Us

We do collect nonpublic personal information about our website visitors who voluntarily provided us this information. This occurs, for instance, when you access the client area of our website (the area accessible only to our clients by entering their User I.D. and Password) or when you send us an e-mail through the website.

We preserve the content of information you provide us, including, your e-mail communications to us, your e-mail address and our responses, so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Our Use of Cookies

To provide you better service and a more effective website, we use "cookies" as part of our interaction with your browser. A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your hard drive by our website server. Cookies are commonly used on websites and do not harm your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie from us (and any other party) and determine whether to accept or deny the cookie. We use cookies to determine if you have previously visited our website and for a number of administrative purposes. These cookies do not collect personal information about you and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to determine who you are or your e-mail address.

Disclosure and Use of Nonpublic Personal Information

Nonpublic personal information that we collect or that you provide to us through our website is confidential. We do not disclose this information to third parties other than to third parties we have hired to provide our services to you, such as third parties who service our website. We require that our third-party website service providers agree not to provide nonpublic personal information to any other party. We also require any other service provider to give us similar assurances when we are not comfortable that the service provider is already bound by duties of confidentiality (e.g., our attorneys and accountants).

We may also provide third parties with nonpublic personal information as permitted or required under applicable law. For instance, we may provide nonpublic personal information to third parties if we reasonably conclude that you or others are involved in illegal or improper conduct, such as breach of contract, unfair business practices or fraud. We will also disclose nonpublic personal information to third parties at your request.

If we think that you might be interested in a particular account or service that we provide, we may occasionally contact you to inform you of its potential benefits and availability.

Confidentiality and Security

We restrict access to your nonpublic personal information to our employees who need to know that information in order to provide services to you.

Protecting Our Children

We do not knowingly solicit data from children, and we do not knowingly market to children. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.

Linking to Other Websites

Please note that we cannot control information on other Internet sites, including any websites that you may enter from a link on our website. These sites have policies that may differ from ours and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of sites linked to or otherwise accessed from www.fulcrumgp.com.

Amending Our Online Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is subject to change, but no change will be implemented until it is first posted on this website. We will not amend this policy to allow ourselves to provide nonpublic personal information gathered through the website to third parties without first providing you with a notice of this change and giving you the opportunity to opt-out of the disclosure. We will continue to post this policy so that you can know what information we gather and how it is used.

We pledge to continue to ensure that our business practices protect your privacy.
