To render services that you have requested (as in completing a wire transfer or other withdrawal from your account) or any other services provided to you on our behalf. To government entities or other third parties in response to subpoenas or other legal processes as required by law.

Security Policy: We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural security measures that comply with applicable state and federal regulations to safeguard confidential client information. Access to confidential client information is authorized only for those Spectrum employees who require information to perform their job functions.

Closed or Inactive Accounts: If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described in this notice.

Changes to this Privacy Notice: If we make any substantial changes in the way we use or disseminate confidential information, we will notify you.
