Each time you provide us with personal data, GPM will let you know how we intend to use it and whether we will pass the information on to a third party.

"Cookies" are small text files that are either used for the duration of a session ('session cookies'), or saved on a user's hard drive in order to identify that user the next time he/she logs on to the Website ('persistent cookies'). GPM may use 'session cookies' to identify registered users logging-in to GPM web services. These cookies are deleted from the component's server soon after the session ends and are not collected or saved. GPM may also use 'persistent cookies' when a registered user clicks on the "save password" check box on login. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that, although if you do disable cookies from your browser you may not be able to access certain sections of the Website.

Security

GPM provides electronic services to the global commodities trading marketplace. The engineering and operations of these services involve the creation, transfer and storage of sensitive client data. We recognize the importance of such data and therefore we dedicate significant resources to information security. Procedures and technical security mechanisms in place to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data include:

Encryption

128-bit or stronger encryption is used to authenticate and encrypt all customer communications involved in GPM systems. Encryption prevents potential malicious third parties from intercepting sensitive data and credentials in transmission.

System Security

GPM systems are hardened and secured via standardized procedures. Monitoring, auditing, and assessment tools and procedures are used to protect systems from new attacks.

Intrusion Detection

Multi-layer intrusion detections systems are used to notify GPM personnel of any attempted network intrusions. These systems monitor the network at multiple points and are regularly updated to be aware of new threats.

Access Control

Application-layer access controls impose strict restrictions on the data available to individual users. Data storage is physically and logically segmented from application servers, and queries can only be formed and executed after access control databases have been queried and credentials fully verified. These processes ensure clients can only retrieve data related to their account.

Although GPM will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information (including credit card information), transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. GPM will have no liability for disclosure of information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Your Security Obligations

You have an obligation to keep your User ID, Password and personally identifiable information secure. As part of maintaining this obligation we recommend that you do the following:

Keep your User ID and Password confidential;

Utilize a unique Password and change it frequently;

Make sure others are not watching you enter your User ID and/or Password on your keyboard when using protected areas of the Website; and

Do not leave your computer unattended while logged onto protected areas of the Website. After you finished accessing your information, exit the protected area.
