We do not sell or disclose any Client Information to any third parties for their independent use. The sections that follow will describe our information collection and sharing practices and the safeguards we use to help protect your non-public personal information.

We collect non-public personal information from and about you, which may include the following information (collectively, “Client Information”):

In addition to Client Information, we and our service providers may collect information about you and your online activities through our website and the various social networking platforms that we use, such as your IP address, clickstream data pertaining to your online activities and the device and browser you are using. We and our service providers may deploy various tracking technologies, such as cookies, on our website to collect additional information about your visits.

WE COMPLY WITH U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS WITH REGARD TO THOSE PAGES OF OUR WEBSITE USED TO FURNISH ELECTRONIC PROXY MATERIALS. WE DO NOT USE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES ON THESE PAGES.

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” (DNT) signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not change our tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser, and we do not obligate our third party partners to change their tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser.

We use and share any of the information we collect, including Client Information, to provide quality investment products and services to our customers. For example, this information enables us to serve and administer your accounts and our website with efficiency and accuracy, to respond to your requests, questions and concerns, and to develop and improve our products and services.

Client Information About Former Customers

If you terminate your relationship with us, this privacy notice (as it may be modified in the future) will continue to apply to your Client Information after that time, and we will retain Client Information in accordance with federal law and our records retention policies.

Security

We have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your Client Information.

We restrict internal access to Client Information to those who need that information in order for us to provide our products and services to you.

However, while we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive Client Information, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. If you correspond with us by email or using web forms, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view the information you send in transit by such means. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.

If you create an account on our website, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any activity that occurs using your account credentials, whether or not you authorized such activity. Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

If at any time during or after our relationship we believe that the security of your Client Information in our care may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your email address, we may notify you by email to the most recent email address you have provided us in your account profile. Please keep your email address in your account up to date. You can change that email address anytime in your account profile. If you receive a notice from us, you can print it to retain a copy of it. To receive these notices, you must check your email account using your computer or mobile device and email application software. You consent to our use of email as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use the U.S. Postal Service to notify you in this situation, please contact us using our contact information below. You can make this election any time, and it will apply to notifications we make after a reasonable time thereafter for us to process your request. You may also use this email address to request a print copy, at no charge, of an electronic notice we have sent to you regarding a compromise of your Client Information.

Additional Policies and Practices

We value the trust of our customers and will continue to recognize the importance of holding your Client Information as confidential.

We will endeavor to respond promptly to your requests to review and correct your Client Information when you contact us using the contact information below. Your right to review and correct your non-public personal information is subject to our records retention policies.
