Privacy Notice for California Residents

Effective Date: January 1, 2020

Last Updated on: January 1, 2020

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy (https://mo.hilltopsecurities.com/hilltop-securities-inc-disclosures/privacy-policy/) and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (”consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.

This Notice does not apply to employment-related personal information collected from California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals. Our privacy practices with respect to our employees and contractors are addressed through internal policies and are outside the scope of this Disclosure.

Introduction

Under the CCPA, ‘Personal Information’ is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly with a particular California resident. The CCPA, however, does not apply to certain information, such as information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”).

The specific Personal Information that we collect, use, and disclose relating to a California resident covered by the CCPA will vary based on our relationship or interaction with that individual. For example, this Disclosure does not apply with respect to information that we collect about California residents who apply for or obtain our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes. For more information about how we collect, disclose, and secure information relating to these customers, please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://mo.hilltopsecurities.com/hilltop-securities-inc-disclosures/privacy-policy/).
