  • Information that is collected automatically when you interact with our websites, services, and communications. It is standard for your web browser to automatically send information to every website you visit, including ours. That information includes your computer’s IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring website addresses. We also, from time to time, collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you; We use certain kinds of technology such as cookies and web beacons to collect information. Among other things, the use of cookies and web beacons enables us to improve our websites and emails by seeing which areas and features are most popular and to count the number of computers accessing our website to improve your experience. A cookie is a small amount of data which is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. You can modify your browser setting to reject our cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie by editing your browser options. However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of the website and services could function improperly. A web beacon is an electronic image, also called a "gif," that would be used on our web pages to deliver cookies, count visits and compile statistics on usage and campaign effectiveness, or in our emails to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon;

OUR SECURITY POLICY: 

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those individuals who need to know that information to provide services to you and perform their respective duties. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural security measures to safeguard personal, nonpublic or confidential client information. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information, we collect from you, including physical, electronic and procedural security measures, no security system is impenetrable. You can tell if your browser is in secure mode by the icons that appear on the top or bottom bar of your browser. In most browsers, a secure connection is indicated by a closed or locked padlock. If the padlock is open, your connection is not secure. If it is closed, you can double-click on the padlock to get more information about the security of the site you are visiting. Although we have implemented various measures designed to manage risks relating to cybersecurity events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, it would be necessary for us to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of our internet-based systems and/or the firm’s disaster recovery plan, for any reason, could cause significant interruptions in our operations and/or failure to maintain the security, confidentiality, or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information. We make every effort to prevent this from happening.

We take reasonable measures to protect your physical and cyberstored personal information, but you also must play a role in ensuring that your personal information is secure and confidential. Here are five steps you can take to help us protect your information. 

  1. Never tell anyone or otherwise share your account login information;
