What we do
How does Central Securities protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. We authorize our employees, agents and contractors to get your information only when needed to do their work for us. We require companies working for us to protect your information.
How does Central Securities collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you open an account.
Why can’t I limit all sharing?
Federal law gives you the right to limit only:
sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes
affiliates from using your information to market to you
sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you
Central Securities does not have affiliates, so these items do not apply. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
What happens when I limit sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else?
Your choices will apply to everyone on your account.
