Your information is necessary for us to process secure transactions, issue a new password if you forget or lose your password, protect you against credit card fraud and checking account fraud, and to contact you should the need arise in administering your account.
 
Pursuant to section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission require Parity International to obtain, verify, and record the following information for each investor, sponsor, or donor to Parity International or Parity Foundation.  This information includes:
