You may, however, chose to contact us by email, in which case we will collect your name, email address and any other information that you chose to provide to us. Please do not provide personal information that you do not want us to have. We use this information to respond to your inquiries and to communicate with you, and otherwise for the purpose you provided it to us.

 

Information We Collect Automatically
As is true of many digital platforms, we also collect certain information about you automatically when you use our Services, as described below.

  • Usage Information. We collect information about your activity on our Services, which includes device identifiers (like IP address or mobile device identifiers), pages or features you use, time and date of access, and other similar usage information.

  • Location Data. We may collect the GPS location of your mobile device in accordance with your device permissions. You can stop the collection of this precise location information at any time (see the Your Control section below for details). Google uses technologies to approximate your location, including IP address (see Google’s Privacy Policy located at https://policies.google.com/privacy to learn more about how they process this information). We also approximate your location by your IP address.

The information collected through these technologies includes your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, device type, operating system, date and time stamp, a unique device or account ID, usage information and other similar information.

  • Vendors and Business Partners. We collect information about you from companies that we do business with, such as name, contact data, inferences about your preferences and attributes, as well as inferred fraud risk, from identity verification and fraud prevention partners.

  • Connected Services. If you link, connect, or log in to your Metamorphic Account with a third-party service (e.g., Google, Apple), the third-party service may send us information such as your profile information from that service. This information varies and is controlled by that service or as authorized by you via your privacy settings at that service.

  • Publicly Available Data includes contact information, your interactions with our social media platforms, and other information from publicly available sources, such as public websites.

  • Advertising Data. We collect information in connection with our ad campaigns that surfaced on other platforms, such as the ads you clicked on and other interactions with our ads.

  • Data from other users. If you are in another user’s contact list and they choose to share that list with us, then we will collect the contact information and your association with that user.

 

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION.
We use the information we collect for purposes described below or as otherwise described to you at the point of collection:

  • Maintain and provide the Services, including to process account applications, authenticate your identity, repair our Services, and handle billing and account management;

We are committed to maintaining your trust, and we want you to understand when and with whom we share information about you. We share information about you in the instances described below.

  • Service Providers: We share Personal Data with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf.

  • Regulatory or Legal Requirements, Safety and Terms Enforcement: We may disclose Personal Data to governmental regulatory authorities as required by law, including in connection with monitoring, review and approval of our products and services, and adverse event reporting, in response to their requests for such information or to assist in investigations. We may also disclose Personal Data to third parties in connection with claims, disputes or litigation, when otherwise required by law, or if we determine its disclosure is necessary to protect the health and safety of you or us, to protect against fraud or credit risk, or to enforce our legal rights or contractual commitments that you have made.

We may also disclose Personal Data in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.

 

4. THIRD-PARTY TRACKING AND ONLINE ADVERTISING.
We use third-party advertising and analytics services to better understand your online activity and serve you targeted advertisements. For example, we use Google Analytics and you can review the “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” linked here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ for information about how Google processes the information it collects. These companies collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and online services over time through cookies, device identifiers, or other tracking technologies. The information collected includes your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent, links clicked, and conversion information. We and our third-party partners use this information to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of content, and deliver advertisements targeted to your interests on our Services and other platforms, as well as to provide advertising-related services to us such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.
 

For more information about interest-based ads, including to learn about options for opting out of having your web browsing information used for targeted advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices. You should also review your mobile device settings and controls for features that allow you to opt out or opt in to having certain information collected for behavioral advertising purposes. Please note, as a self-directed broker-dealer, we do not advertise on behalf of specific securities or investment options on our Services.
 

5. DO NOT TRACK.
Some web browsers transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
 

6. YOUR CONTROLS.
Account profile. You may update certain account profile information by logging into your account.
Access to your device data. You may disconnect our mobile app’s access to certain stored device information through your device’s settings. For instance, you can withdraw permission for the app to access your contact list or photo gallery.
How to control your communications preferences. You can stop receiving promotional emails from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in those emails. We may still send you service-related or other non-promotional communications, such as account notifications, receipts, security notices and other transactional or relationship messages.
Affiliate sharing opt out. In some cases, you can limit sharing between Metamorphic affiliates. Please see our Financial Consumer Privacy Notice for more details. If you want to exercise this right, please contact us at glba-request@metamorphicpartners.com.
Disabling certain data sharing. You can limit how we share your data with our marketing partners to more effectively market our Services to you across sites and apps. When disabled, we will no longer share personal information with these partners for these purposes.
 

Cookie controls. Many web browsers are set to accept cookies and similar tracking technologies by default. If you prefer, you can set your browser to delete or reject these technologies. If you choose to delete or reject these technologies, this could affect certain features of our Services. Furthermore, if you use a different device, change browsers, or delete the opt-out cookies that contain your preferences, you may need to perform the opt-out task again.
 

7. CHILDREN.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 on these Services. In the event we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@metamorphicpartners.com.
 

8. TRANSFER OF INFORMATION.
Our Services are currently designed for use only in the United States. If you are using our Services from another jurisdiction, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries that may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home jurisdiction.
 

9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY.
This Privacy Policy will evolve with time, and when we update it, we will revise the "Effective Date" above and post the new Policy and, in some cases, we provide additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website or sending you a notification). To stay informed of our privacy practices, we recommend you review the Policy on a regular basis as you continue to use our Services.
