Privacy at Northern Trust - Keeping Your Finances a Private Matter
When it comes to your financial affairs, you expect a relationship built on privacy and integrity. That’s why Northern Trust does not sell client lists or any other client information to outside companies.

This notice outlines what we do to protect your personal information and describes how you can limit the sharing of this information. If you already have instructed us to limit our marketing use or to not share your information, you do not need to do anything. We will continue to honor your request.

Keeping Your Information Secure
To keep information confidential and appropriately protected, we have policies that limit access to your personal information to only those employees who need it to perform their jobs and provide services to you. We also maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your personal information.

Collecting Information
We collect information you provide us on applications, forms, through our web sites, and in conversation; from third parties with your permission; from your transactions with us, our affiliates and our joint marketing partners; and from consumer reporting agencies.

Sharing Information
Only under certain circumstances will we disclose any of this information about our clients and former clients to unaffiliated third parties (1) for our everyday purposes, such as to process transactions, maintain accounts, respond to court orders and legal investigations or report to credit bureaus or (2) as permitted by law.

In addition, we may share information we collect about our clients and former clients with our affiliated financial institutions, such as a Northern Trust Bank in another state. And we may share information with other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements, such as Northern Funds.

Your Privacy Preferences
Northern Trust respects your right to restrict the information we disclose to our affiliates and joint marketing partners for marketing purposes. This information includes account balances and account history. You may limit our use or sharing of information about you for marketing purposes by:

  • Calling 1-866-260-9550, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Central Time and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central Time.
  • Writing to us at Northern Trust, P.O. Box 92929, Chicago, IL 60603
  • Or stopping in one of our locations

If you have a joint account or have a guarantor of your account at Northern, we will assume your request applies only to your information, unless you tell us otherwise.

Please note that even if you ask us not to share information for marketing purposes, we still may share that information for other reasons, such as to service your existing accounts. In addition, the Northern Trust affiliate that originally collected the information still may use it for its own marketing decisions.
