We maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of your nonpublic personal information. We educate our employees about the terms of this Notice and the importance of customer privacy. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees and others who need to know that information to provide services to you, to maintain your accounts, or conduct our business.
Collecting information from you is essential to our ability to offer quality services. As part of that process, we may collect nonpublic information about you from the following sources:
We do not disclose any information about our clients or former clients to anyone, except as permitted or required by law. We may disclose the types of information listed below to companies that help us conduct our business, that perform administrative or others services on our behalf, or other financial institutions with which we now or may have joint marketing agreements:
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires broker-dealer firms to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
For an individual, when you open an account or establish a relationship, we are required to collect information such as the following from you: Your name, date of birth, address, identification number: U.S. Citizen: taxpayer identification number (social security number or employer identification number) or Non-U.S. Citizen: taxpayer identification number, passport number, and country of issuance, alien identification card number, or government-issued identification showing nationality, residence, and a photograph of you. You may also need to show your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
For an entity, when an account is opened or a relationship is established, we are required to collect information such as the following from the entity: documents showing the existence of the entity, such as certified articles of incorporation, a government-issued business license, a partnership agreement, or a trust instrument.
We may, under the following circumstances, rely on the performance by another financial institution (including an affiliate) of some or all the elements of our customer identification program with respect to any customer that is opening an account or has established an account or similar business relationship with the other financial institution to provide or engage in services, dealings, or other financial transactions:
Such reliance is reasonable under the circumstances, when the other financial institution is subject to a rule implementing the anti-money laundering compliance program requirements and is regulated by a Federal functional regulator and when the other financial institution has entered into a contract with us requiring it to certify annually to us that it has implemented its anti-money laundering program, and that it will perform (or its agent will perform) specified requirements of the customer identification program.

Alternatively, clients may obtain updated summaries by requesting a written copy by mail or fax.
In all of the following scenarios, MHL plans to continue business and our planned recovery time, depending upon the time of occurrence, should not exceed 24 hours from the time of the declaration of the SBD. Staff, telephone calls, and e-mails will return to their original location upon full restoration of service.
