Financial Privacy Notice
Financial companies choose how they share your nonpublic personal information. Federal law gives our clients the right to limit some but not all sharing, and it requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.
It is our policy not to disclose nonpublic personal information about our clients or former clients to third parties other than as described below.
Personal information we collect. We collect personal information about you in connection with our providing advisory services to you. This information may include your social security number, date of birth and residential address, and may also include other information such as your:
- Assets and income;
- Financial account information and balances;
- Investment experience;
- Transaction history; and
- Wire transfer instructions.
How we collect this information. We collect this information from you through various means, including, but not limited to, when you give us your contact information and you complete our client questionnaire and other forms you give to us, enter into an investment advisory contract with us, tell us where to send money, or make a wire transfer.
How we use this information. All financial companies need to share clients’ personal information to run their everyday business and we use the personal information we collect from you for our everyday business purposes. These purposes may include for example:
- To provide advisory services to you.
- To open an account for you.
- To process a transaction for your account.
- To market products and services to you.
- To respond to court orders and legal investigations.
Disclosure to others. We may provide your personal information to firms that assist us in servicing your account and have a need for such information, such as brokers, custodians, our client relationship management (CRM) and other software vendors and data storage providers, and otherwise as required or permitted by law. We may also disclose such information to any service providers and financial institutions with whom we may have joint marketing arrangements (i.e., a formal agreement between nonaffiliated financial companies that together market financial products or services to you, such as solicitors). We require any such third-party service providers and financial institutions with which we may have joint marketing arrangements to protect the confidentiality of your information and to use the information only for the purposes for which we disclose the information to them. These sharing practices are consistent with Federal privacy and related laws, and you may not limit our use of your personal information for these purposes under such laws. Federal privacy laws only give you the right to limit the certain types of information sharing that we do not engage in (e.g., sharing with our affiliates certain information relating to your transaction history or creditworthiness for their use in marketing to you, or sharing any personal information with nonaffiliates for them to market to you).
How we protect your personal information. To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with Federal law.
These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and premises.
In addition, we restrict access to non-public personal information about clients to our employees who need to know that information to provide services to clients.
