Our Approach Towards Your Personal Information

Information Security

We’re dedicated to protecting your information, and working with you to make it even more secure.

Our multi-pronged approach to protect your information:

To ensure your information is as safe as it can be, security has to be a partnership. We list key best practices you can adapt.

Please read through them completely. If you have any questions, reach out to us through the RINO Lounge.

Check your email and account statements regularly for suspicious activity.
Don't post personally indentifiable information or contact details on social media.
Don't open or accept communications from an unfamiliar source, including phone calls, emails, or texts. Instead, reach out to the individual or company using the contact information from their official website.
Do not verbally disclose or enter confidential information on a laptop or mobile device in public areas where someone could potentially see, hear, or access your information.

Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software on all computers and mobile devices
Enable the security settings on your applications and web browser.
Do not use free or found USB thumb drives— they could be infected with viruses or malware.
Turn off Bluetooth when it’s not needed, to protect against individuals gaining access to your devices using Bluetooth connections.
Safely and securely dispose of old hardware.

Do not accept software updates if you are connected to public Wi-Fi.
Use your personal Wi-Fi hotspot instead of public Wi-Fi.
Only use wireless networks you trust or that are protected with a secure password.
Avoid using public computers. If you must use one, go to the browser settings and clear the browser history (cache) and cookies when you’re finished.

Do not use personal information such as your Social Security number or birthday as part of your login ID.
Do not share your passwords.
Use two-step verification whenever possible.
Create a unique password for each financial institution you do business with and change it every six months. Consider using a password manager to create, manage, and store passwords that are unique and secure.

Check the URL to see if it’s a secure connection. Secure sites begin with https rather than http, and are generally considered safer.
Check the address bar for site validity indicators whenever you log in to a Schwab website. Some browsers use green text or security symbols to indicate a secure and verified site.
Download apps only from the Google Play™ Store or the Apple App Store®.
Do not visit websites you don’t know—for example, websites advertised on pop-up ads and banners.
