there is nothing to worry about. as has already been pointed out it's just a new standard statement to be used at all IB owned sites. we will not be asked to provide any additional personal information. it will not result in any additional junk emails.

Interesting for sure ...

thanks for the explanations - I was worried that they threw in something new

I got it and read it. I agree with the mod.s, it isn't anything to worry about. Always good to ask those in the 'know' and not spread rumors.
Thanks Mod.s.

I have read that pop-up before and a few weeks later it is sent again. I try to ignore it but it's annoying. If you have read it before why does it still keep popping up?

It comes up on the bottom right every time I log in. Since I don't use my cc with their websites, it is all good....
