MF Global is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the security
of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains the manner in which
MF Global collects, utilizes and maintains nonpublic personal information about
its investors (“Investors”), as required under federal law enacted in 2000. “MF
Global” collectively refers to MF Global Ltd., MF Global Inc., and the private
investment funds for which they serve as managing member, general partner,
trading member and/or investment manager (each, a “Fund”). As noted above, this
Privacy Policy only applies to products and services provided by MF Global to
individuals (including regarding investments in a Fund) and which are used for
personal, family, or household purposes (not business purposes).
Collection of Investor Information
MF Global collects personal information about its Investors from the following
sources:
- Subscription forms, investor questionnaires, account forms, and other
information provided by the Investors in writing, in person, by telephone,
electronically or by any other means. This information includes name, address,
nationality, employment information, and financial and investment
qualifications;
- Transactions within each Fund, including account balances, investments,
withdrawals and fees; and
- Other interactions with MF Global (for example, discussions with our staff).
Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information
MF Global may share nonpublic personal information about its Investors or
potential Investors with affiliates as permitted by law. MF Global does not
disclose nonpublic personal information about its Investors or potential
Investors to non-affiliated third parties, except as permitted by law (for
example, to service providers who provide services to the Investor, the
Investor’s account or a Fund).
MF Global may share nonpublic personal information, without an Investor’s
consent, with affiliated and nonaffiliated parties in the following situations,
among others:
- To respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process or regulatory
inquiry;
- In connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger, or transfer of
all or a portion of its business;
- To protect or defend against fraud, unauthorized transactions (such as
money laundering), law suits, claims or other liabilities;
- To service providers of MF Global in connection with the
administration and operations of the Partnership and other MF
Global-affiliated products and services, which may include brokers,
attorneys, accountants, auditors, administrators or other professionals;
- To assist MF Global in offering MF Global-affiliated products and
services to its Investors; and
- To process or complete transactions requested by an Investor.
Former Investors
The same Privacy Policy applies to former Investors.
Protection of Investor Information
MF Global maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply
with federal standards to protect customer information. MF Global restricts
access to the personal and account information of Investors to those employees
who need to know that information in the course of their job responsibilities.
Further Information
MF Global reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time. The
examples contained within this policy are illustrations and are not intended to
be exclusive. This policy complies with recently enacted federal law regarding
privacy. You may have additional rights under other foreign or domestic laws
that may apply to you.
