Responsibility to Protect Nonpublic, Personal
Information
Emerald employees are informed of their responsibility to protect client confidential information and are bound by this Privacy Policy. We restrict access to clients’ nonpublic, personal information to those employees who need to know that information to provide Emerald’s products or services. Nonpublic, personal information is defined to include all information a client provides to obtain a financial product or service, or information resulting from any transaction or information otherwise obtained in providing a financial product or service. In addition, we maintain physical, procedural and electronic safeguards in an effort to protect the information from access by unauthorized parties.
Privacy On The Internet
Emerald is firmly committed to maintaining our clients’ privacy in the Internet world. If clients choose to contact Emerald via e-mail, we will use e-mail information only for the specific purpose of responding to requests or comments. E-mail addresses will not be sold, nor will they be shared with others outside of Emerald, unless we are compelled to do so by law.
