We have always been committed to securing the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information. We are proud of our privacy practices and want our current and prospective customers to understand what information we collect and how we use it.

▪Information about your personal financial profile, such as your risk tolerance levels, goals and objectives, assets, liabilities, savings, and investments.

We collect nonpublic personal information about our clients, such as you, from the following sources:
▪We receive information from you on contracts or other forms, such as risk tolerance questionnaires and/or investment policy statements.
▪Information about your transactions with our affiliates, or others.
▪If you visit our website, we collect information via a web server (often referred to as a “cookie”). Cookies indicate where a site visitor has been online and what has been viewed.

What Information We Disclose
We only share your non-public personal information with your representative within our firm, affiliates, and non-affiliated companies or individuals as permitted by law, such as mutual funds, insurance companies, and other product vendors, or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. With your approval, we may also share information with your advisors, which can include your accountant and/or attorney. Additionally, in the normal course of our business, we may disclose information we collect about you to companies or individuals that contract with us to perform service functions such as:
▪Record keeping.
▪Computer-related services.
▪Good faith disclosure to regulators who have regulatory authority over the company.

Companies we hire to provide support services are not allowed to use your personal information for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to keep it confidential. We restrict their use of your personal information to the specific services we ask them to perform. However, we will not share information about our current or former customers unless we get your prior written permission, we believe the recipient to be you or your authorized representative, or we are legally required to do so.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Regulation S-P Procedures
Information Security and Incident Response. We maintain written policies and procedures designed to protect the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. Our program includes measures to:
▪Identify and assess risks of unauthorized access or use.
▪Implement and monitor safeguards appropriate to our business model.
▪Detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents affecting customer information.

If we determine that nonpublic personal information has been, or is reasonably likely to have been, accessed or used without authorization, we will notify affected individuals as soon as practicable, and no later than 30 days after that determination, except where a delay is requested by law enforcement.

Service Provider Oversight. We require third-party service providers with access to nonpublic personal information to:
▪Maintain appropriate protection.
▪Notify us promptly of any unauthorized access or use.
▪Cooperate in incident response and mitigation efforts.

Additionally, we conduct ongoing due diligence and monitoring of service providers consistent with regulatory requirements.
Scope of Individuals Covered. These protections apply to current and former clients, as well as to individuals who provide information to us in connection with a potential advisory or brokerage relationship, even if no account is opened or no contract is signed.

Privacy Notice Delivery under Regulation S-P. We will provide initial privacy notices consistent with Regulation S-P. Consumers will receive notice before any non-public personal information is shared with third parties, and customers will receive notice before a customer relationship is established. When a relationship is initiated by telephone and providing notice beforehand materially delays a transaction, the notice may be delivered within the Customer Agreement Form, provided you consent. Annual privacy notices will be provided to all active customer accounts unless the privacy policy remains unchanged.

Confidentiality and Security
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information. We also restrict access to your personal and financial data only to our authorized associates who need these records. Furthermore, we will continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described in this notice even after your account is closed or becomes inactive.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We may track users using IP addresses, cookies (such as pieces of code or text placed on your computer by us or third parties when you browse our websites), web beacons, and other data collection methods to gather broad demographic information and ensure we deliver the content you want. Our website sends cookies to your web browser (if your browser’s preferences allow it) to collect data as you browse. Cookie settings can be adjusted in your Internet browser to automatically block certain types of cookies. If you do not change your cookie settings, viewing our website indicates your consent to receive all cookies from our site(s). If you disable cookies, some features and functions may not work as intended. In addition to cookies, we and certain third parties place technological tools like tags and beacons (scripts used to track visitors’ activities via web analytics software), IP addresses, and other tools to collect data for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. “Do Not Track” signals are options on your browser that let you tell websites you do not want your online activity tracked. Our websites behave the same way whether these signals are enabled or disabled.

Opt-Out Provisions
We have taken steps to assure that all third-party vendors have confidentiality clauses to protect your information. Should we not have such written agreements in place, then you have the option to “opt-out” of the sharing of this information. If you desire to opt out for those instances that we do not have the confidentiality clause, you should provide us with written instructions forwarded to Chief Compliance Officer at the address set out above. Additionally, the law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. We do not share personal information about you with any third parties that trigger this opt-out right. This means you are already opted out of these sharing situations.
