practices. We describe in detail what member information we collect, how we use it, and how we

Information collection from members
Registration:
The basic way that Asset International obtains information about a member is through the
registration process. When you register, you are asked to provide certain personal information. You
also select a GlobalCustodian.com user ID and password. You can opt-out of receiving email from
GlobalCustodian.com that you do not want.
EZ-register:
When using our EZ-register process, your member information may be pre-filled from our Global
Custodian magazine subscriber database. We encourage our members to review this information and to
make any necessary corrections.
Surveys:
Asset International may occasionally ask members and visitors to complete surveys and opinion polls
about their interests, needs, and attitudes. Surveys help us provide better services that meet
member needs. Participation is completely voluntary. We do not use any survey information in
individually identifiable form. Once you complete a survey, any links between your identity and your
answers are broken as quickly as possible. All information provided through surveys is only used in
an aggregate way. Individual survey responses are never used or disclosed in any other way.
Information collection from visitors
If you are just visiting the GlobalCustodian.com website, we do not
normally collect any information about you except through web logs (see below). However, if you fill
out a web form, send us an email, or choose to share information with us in any other way, we will
have the information that you provided and will use it to respond to your inquiry or to fulfill your
request if we can. We do not routinely share any of this information with anyone else unless
appropriate to respond to your request. If you receive email from Asset International that you no
longer want to receive, you can ask us to stop by sending a request to
admin@globalcustodian.com
Weblogs
GlobalCustodian.com maintains standard web logs that automatically record
basic information about everyone who visits our website. These logs contain:
The Internet domain from which you access GlobalCustodian.com (e.g., aol.com, xyz.edu).
Your IP address. Your
computer is automatically assigned an IP address when you surf the Internet. Static IP addresses are
potentially identifiable, but dynamic addresses are usually not identifiable.
The type of browser
(e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use.
The date and time you
visited GlobalCustodian.com.
The pages that you
visited here.
The address of the
website you linked here from.
GlobalCustodian.com uses web log information to help us design our website, to identify popular
features, and for other managerial purposes. We do not normally make any attempt to identify
individuals from web logs. However, web logs may be used if necessary to help identify any person
attempting to break into or damage our website. We may share web log information with law
enforcement agencies if we believe that we have evidence of a violation of computer security or
related laws.
Partner Privacy Standards
Asset International contracts with other companies to assist in
supporting our core features and functions. When necessary for these services to function, we
exchange member information with these companies or those members who have selected those services.
We require that our key partners treat our members' data under the same high privacy and security
standards that Asset International uses. This means that personal information provided to our
partners is not sold, rented, or shared by them except as necessary to accomplish the purpose of the
disclosure. It also means that our partners will not use personal data for marketing to our members.
Advertisers and others
Through advertisers, outside content providers, and marketing affiliates,
Asset International offers members the opportunity to contact other companies to obtain information
or to buy products or services. Asset International never shares any of your individual information
with these companies. It is up to you to decide when and whether to give your personal information
to these companies. If you provide information, its use is governed by the policies and practices of
these companies and not by Asset International's policies and practices. Asset International makes
no representations or warranties about, and has no liability or responsibility toward its members in
connection with, any of these other companies or their privacy policies. Once you click through to
an unaffiliated website, GlobalCustodian.com privacy policies no longer apply. We strongly urge our
members to read the privacy policies of these other companies and their websites. We collect
personal and plan information to facilitate a leading edge service development process, to provide
you with a customized workplace experience, and to provide our advertisers with an efficient means
to reach the appropriate audience. We do not, however, provide your personal information directly to
advertisers. All Asset International employees, affiliates and alliance partners must sign an
agreement guaranteeing their strict adherence to this privacy policy. We select partners who not
only meet our standards for privacy and security, but also embrace them. We will work with members
to obtain a fair and rapid resolution of any complaints or disputes about privacy.
Cookies
GlobalCustodian.com only uses so-called session cookies. These stay in
your computer's memory as long as you are logged on to our site. They are used to facilitate your
personal navigation through the site. These cookies are deleted entirely from your computer when you
log off of our Web site or when you close your Web browser. Your browser probably allows you to
control the use of cookies on your computer. Browsers usually accept cookies unless you choose
otherwise. You can tell your browser to alert you when cookies are used or to disable or refuse
cookies. If you decide not to permit cookies on your computer, our Web site will not function. If
you click through to other websites, you will find that many of these sites set their own cookies.
Asset International does not see or use these cookies, and we do not control how other sites use
cookies.
Privacy policy changes and updates
Asset International will update this policy from time to time as we add
new services and new features. However, our strong commitment to privacy, security, and fair
information practices will never change. Changes on our website will require additional descriptions
about the flow of data. We will tell our users about changes in this policy by making changes on
this page, which will always contain a version number and date, making it easy to see when changes
have taken place. You can also let us know here whether you want to be notified of any changes to
this policy through
admin@globalcustodian.com
Accuracy, Access
We will tell our users about changes in this policy by making changes on
this page, which will always contain a version number and date, making it easy to see when changes
have taken place. A member can terminate his or her service with Asset International at any time.
When service is terminated, Asset International will make every effort to remove all information
from our system and to stop sending email and newsletters. Like other Internet and computer service
organizations, Asset International maintains several types of backups to its records. The backups
permit us to restore service in the event of a natural disaster, equipment failure, or other
problem. Backups provide important protections for everyone because they lessen the risk of loss of
valuable data. Removing a member from our main files does not remove that member's record from any
of the backup systems. It may take months before backup records are completely recycled and all
traces of a member's registration and related data are completely removed. Of course, backup records
remain subject to the same protections as other Asset International records.
Security
Asset International maintains all personal data with appropriate and
high-level physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to insure the security and
confidentiality of the data against foreseeable risks. Security is designed to prevent unauthorized
use, access, disclosure, destruction, and change of data.
GlobalCustodian.com security mission statement
Asset International recognizes the value of and our dependency on the
data, information, and computer systems used in serving the needs of our members. As a part of
everyday business it is essential that this information and technical infrastructures are secure
from destruction, corruption, unauthorized access and breach of confidentiality whether accidental
or deliberate.
Physical safeguards
Access to Asset International computing facilities, including servers,
telecommunications equipment, the network control center, and other related areas is restricted to
individuals identified by management who need access to perform their jobs. Access by anyone else,
including vendors, contractors, and other Asset International employees must be approved in advance
by management.
Management safeguards
Ultimately, the responsibility for the success of an organization lies
with management. Asset International's senior management team maintains a strong computer security
program with defined program goals, objectives, and priorities. Senior management is committed to
providing adequate resources for security, to making sure that those resources are applied to
security, and to doing whatever is necessary to make sure that security is a successful part of the
Asset International operation. Asset International recognizes that security is an essential part of
its computer system. We also recognize that no one can guarantee complete and perfect security
against every possible hazard. We make every reasonable effort to provide high-level security. This
includes a continual review of security measures and plans, the use of new technology when available
and appropriate, and regular training for our personnel. If you click through to another website
offering products, services, or content, any information that you disclose to that website will be
subject to the security policies of that website and not those of GlobalCustodian.com. Before you
provide personal information to other companies, we encourage you to read their security policies..
Disclosure
Asset International fully describes all sources, uses, and disclosures of
GlobalCustodian.com member data. We do not collect, use, or disclose any information about our
members without their knowledge and approval. We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise disclose our
member lists or member information to third parties. We do not share snail mail or email lists with
anyone. Asset International recognizes that the information you provide is personal and valuable.
Asset International believes the service we provide to our members should make their lives easier,
without the fear that their personal information will end up in the wrong hands. This privacy policy
describes the basic data disclosures that we make with our partners in order to support our core
functions and features. Asset International uses the information collected about you to assist you.
We use personally identifiable information about our members only in defined and responsible ways.
We use your information internally to respond to your requests, provide support, maintain your
account, and for similar purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when
we have informed users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.
We do not share your personal information in individually identifiable form with advertisers. Where
Asset International indicates that a part of our site is presented in cooperation with a third party
or sponsored by a third party, the privacy policy of GlobalCustodian.com remains valid. That third
party does not have access to your individual personal or plan information unless you expressly give
permission to share this information. The providers featuring their information on sponsored pages
do not know who visited these pages unless the visitor volunteered that information. Some personal
information maintained by Asset International may be used on occasion by outside auditors,
consultants, and others hired by Asset International to assist in carrying out financial or
operational activities. We permit these uses or disclosures only when necessary. All recipients must
agree in writing to safeguard personal information, to use it only for an authorized purpose, and to
return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity. In addition, it is possible that Asset
International could be required to disclose personal information in response to valid legal process,
such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. All record keepers face the possibility that
disclosure of their records may be compelled in some civil, criminal, or administrative matters.
Disclosures may also be appropriate to protect Asset International's legal rights or during
emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk. We think that these events are unlikely,
but they are possible. We will take reasonable steps to limit the scope and consequences of any of
these disclosures. If we receive a subpoena demanding disclosure of your records, we will make all
reasonable efforts to notify you of the subpoena when possible.
Accountability
All Asset International employees have to sign an agreement guaranteeing
their adherence to this policy. We will work with members to obtain a fair and rapid resolution of
any complaints or disputes about privacy. Asset International is committed to protecting your
privacy and to making your online experience enjoyable, secure, comfortable, and valuable. If you
