KCG believes that the responsible use of personal information collected on its Web site is critical to its business objectives and reputation. As part of our commitment to privacy, we have adopted this Online Privacy Statement. The extent and type of information we receive from you on our external Web site depends on the information you provide to us through our contact mailboxes and/or through the registration processes on our sites.


We only use your personally identifiable information to respond to your requests and to provide you with information about KCG’s services unless we obtain your permission to use your personal information for other purposes. For example, if you send us an e-mail message requesting information about KCG, we will use your e-mail address and other information you supply to respond to your request. If we intend to use your personal information to inform you about other KCG services, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to decline to receive such communications. If you send us a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) to apply online for a position with KCG, we will use the information provided to match you with available opportunities.


The personal information you provide to us will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected or as required by law. We do not share personal information with third parties except as necessary to carry out our business or as required by law or other legal processes, and we never sell your personal information.


In addition, KCG has technological and operational security policies and procedures in place to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or unintentional destruction. Our personnel who have access to the data have been trained to maintain the confidentiality of such information.


KCG recognises its responsibility for protecting the online privacy of your personal information.
