Federal law requires Samoset Capital Group LLC ("Samoset") and our affiliated companies (“we” or “us”) to disclose our Privacy Policy to our clients (“you”). We respect your right to keep your personal information confidential and understand your desire to avoid unwanted solicitations. We hope that by taking a few moments to read our Privacy Policy, you will have a better understanding of what we do with the information you provide to us.
Except as otherwise described in this notice, within our firm and our service providers, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to our employees and other parties who must use that information to provide services to you.
- We limit the collection, use and retention of client information to what we reasonably believe will help us deliver superior service to you, to administer our business, manage our risks, market our services and products, and to meet applicable laws and regulations. If you decline to provide us with requested personal information, we may not be able to provide certain services to you.
- We provide clients with relevant and appropriate choices regarding the sharing of information with us and others, in accordance with applicable law and their agreements with us.
- To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, we obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account with us. When you open an account with us, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth (for individuals), and certain other information that will allow us to appropriately identify you and confirm your identification. We will also ask to see your driver’s license, passport or other identifying documents. In the future, we may ask for additional information and/or documentation.
- We may disclose certain nonpublic information about you for the following reasons:
· To provide information to affiliates of Samoset and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
· We may disclose information we have about clients as permitted or required by law. For example, we may share information with regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials who have jurisdiction over us or if we are required to do so by applicable law and to protect against fraud.
· As a part of any actual or threatened legal proceedings or arbitration proceedings either initiated by us or against us by anyone, provided that we disclose only the information we deem reasonably necessary to file, pursue, or defend against the proceedings and we take reasonable precautions under the circumstances to ensure that the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.
· To comply with a subpoena or summons.
· In the event of a prospective purchase, sale or merger of Samoset, provided that we take reasonable precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so the prospective purchaser or merger partner agrees not to disclose information obtained in the course of the review.
We can also use the information collected under this Privacy Policy to perform services within the scope of our engagement and to inform you through any communications channel, including phone, fax and electronic mail, about new services and to provide information that we think will be of interest to you such as conferences we hold, changes in the law, or other professional or business developments.
To opt out of receiving such information, send an email to privacy@samosetllc.com advising us of your preference, and we will discontinue sending you information other than in regard to your account.
We also collect information about financial transactions that you have carried out, such as the buying or selling of any securities through us, our affiliates or other parties; we may also receive information from a consumer reporting agency. All collected information is retained in accordance with Federal law.
This Privacy Policy is not intended to create any liability beyond that already existing under applicable law, and may be revised at any time.
