(For individuals residing in California, we are required to notify you of any unauthorized access to your NPI which we keep in an unencrypted format on our computers.)

(hereinafter referred to as “CCM”), does not sell user information to any Third Party, nor do we bear any responsibility for the collection or use of information by any Third Party linked on our website.

We do not share NPI we collect about our clients, former clients or perspective clients with any unaffiliated Third Parties, except as required for the purpose of serving your investment needs or required by law. This means we may disclose the information we collect to our affiliates and to the unaffiliated Third Parties that help us maintain and service your account. For example, we may share information with a transfer agent or clearing broker to process your securities transactions and update your account, or with an external service provider so that your account statements can be printed and mailed. These unaffiliated Third Parties are only permitted to use this information for the services for which we hired them, and are not permitted to use or share this information for any other purpose. We may also disclose NPI when the firm 1) receives your prior written consent or instructions; 2) we reasonably believe that the recipient is your representative who has been authorized by you to receive such information; or 3) is required by law to disclose such information to government agencies and regulatory organizations.

If your portfolio is held through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer, bank or trust company, the privacy policy of your financial intermediary will govern how the intermediary will handle your NPI and whether it will be shared with other parties. Please review the Privacy Notices that these intermediaries are required to provide you.
