To provide financial planning and investment services, we collect nonpublic personal information from our clients. The categories of nonpublic personal information collected from a client depend upon the scope of the client engagement. It may include information about the client’s personal finances, information about transactions between the client and third parties, information from custodians, banks, or other financial institutions, information from the client’s other advisors, and information collected from written or verbal communications with the client. We do not disclose any of our clients’ personal information to anyone except as permitted or required by law. We do not disclose any of our clients’ personal information to affiliated or nonaffiliated third parties (such as our clients’ other professional and/or service providers) without our clients’ authorization and consent and only for the purpose of providing services on our clients’ behalf. Federal law allows you the right to limit the sharing of your NPI by “opting-out” of the following: sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness or sharing with non-affiliates to market to you. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Please notify us immediately at our address or telephone number if you choose to opt out of these types of sharing.
EMPOWERED FUNDS will provide clients with a privacy notice (the “Privacy Notice”) when the client engages EMPOWERED FUNDS for advisory or other services. EMPOWERED FUNDS shall distribute an updated Privacy Notice to all of its clients on or before March 31 of each year, even if the policy has not changed since the previous year. Privacy Notices shall be sent by electronic mail unless otherwise requested by the client, and may be included in a quarterly report, newsletter or other client mailing. The Privacy Notice will also be available via our website. The Compliance Officer is responsible for evaluating EMPOWERED FUNDS’s compliance with this privacy policy. Compliance deficiencies must be addressed by the Compliance Officer and brought to the immediate attention of EMPOWERED FUNDS’s management.
