    • Information captured on our website, including registration information and any information captured via “cookies,” and information that you input to our client portal.

We consider the protection of sensitive information to be a sound business practice, and to that end we employ physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your non-public personal information in our possession or under our control. Additionally, no individual who is not so authorized shall obtain your personal and financial information.

    • With persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of your account;
