Your personal privacy is important. At the TrendStar Funds (the "Funds"), including our subsidiaries and affiliated entities, we recognize that whether you are an existing customer or are considering a relationship with us, you have an interest in how we collect, retain and use information about you and your relationship with us. We are committed to protecting your confidential information. We do this by maintaining standards and procedures designed to prevent the accidental disclosure of such information and/or its misuse. Our Customer Privacy Policy , which outlines how we accomplish the protection of your information, is set forth below.
I. Information Collection
We may collect "non-public personal information" about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on Account Applications and other account forms you provide to us;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, and other entities;
- Information we receive from third parties, such as credit bureaus, the IRS, and others.
"Non-public personal information" is non-public information about you that we obtain in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. For example, non-public personal information includes information regarding your account balance, shares held, which funds you own, your investment history, etc.
II. Information Use & Sharing With Third Parties
We are permitted under law to share information about our experiences or transactions with you or your account (such as your account balance, shares owned, and investment history) with affiliates. We may also share additional information about you or your account (such as information we receive from account applications and other correspondence) with our affiliates. We do not disclose information to our affiliates that does not directly relate to our or our affiliates' experiences or transactions with your account. We are also permitted under law to disclose non-public information about you to "non-affiliated third parties" in certain circumstances. We may share certain kinds of customer information with these third parties solely to facilitate the offering, administration collection and delivery of our services to you, and only under strictly controlled circumstances designed to protect the privacy of your information. We require any non-affiliated third party with whom we share such information to maintain the privacy of that information. Those parties are not allowed to release, use for their own purposes, or sell, transfer or provide any customer information we share with them to any other party.
You should be aware that there may be occasions where we are legally required to disclose information about you, such as in response to governmental or court order.
If you decide to close your account with us, we will continue to adhere to these privacy policies. Lastly, we do not sell customer lists or individual customer information.
III. Security Standards
Access to customer information is authorized for business purposes only and only for our employees who need to now such information. We regularly train our employees on privacy and privacy security, and we have established and continuously maintain standards and procedures to protect the privacy of your information. When you use our on-line (Internet) products and services, we may collect information about you to personalize our services to you, but we do not share any such information or your email information to anyone other than our affiliates, unless compelled to do so under law.
