  • Information about transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as participation in our investment programs, ownership of certain types of accounts such as IRAs or other account data.

Any party that receives this information will use it only for the services required and as allowed by applicable law or regulation, and is not permitted to share or use this information for any other purpose.  To protect the personal information of individuals, foundations, retirement plans, etc., we permit access only by authorized employees who need access to that information in order to provide services to our clients.  In order to guard clients' non-public personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with U.S. federal standards.  A client's right to privacy extends to all forms of contact with us, including telephone, written correspondence and electronic media, such as the Internet.
