Brighton collects and provides access to customer information, including Non-public Personal Information(“NPI”) and Personally Identifiable Financial Information (PIFI), within the firm and to nonaffiliated companies with whom we have entered into agreements so that we may conduct regular business, administer, manage, service, and provide related services for client accounts.

We treat the confidentiality of your personal information as a standard practice; you don’t need to request it. We do not share customer information with affiliates of Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC or with outside companies, except in limited circumstances as permitted or required by law. For example, we may share information to help prevent fraud, respond to regulators or government agencies, or comply with legal obligations such as subpoenas. We may also provide information to trusted service providers who support our business operations, like mailing account statements or to companies whose shares you own so they can maintain accurate shareholder records.
Customer Identity Verification
Under the USA Patriot Act, Brighton is obligated to verify the identity of each customer opening a new account. We will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other NPI that will allow us to identify you, including asking to see your driver’s license or other government-issued identification. Please understand that if we are unable to verify the identity of all the owners of any account within a reasonable time, we may, at any time, at our sole discretion, without providing advance notice, close the account.
Accurate Information
We strive to maintain accurate information about you and your accounts. If you ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information about you, please let us know immediately so that we can correct any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
