Investment advisers are required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of clients information. Federal law gives customers the right to limit some but not all sharing of personal information. It also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand Sootchy Securities’ privacy policy.

1.1 Everyday Business Purposes.
Sootchy Securities and its Affiliates will share your NPI with Non-affiliated third parties so that we may provide our services, maintain business operations, and comply with legal/regulatory requirements. The purposes for such disclosures may include but are not limited to:

Clients may opt out of sharing information for joint marketing to other financial companies, to Affiliates, and to Non-Affiliates. If you are a new client, we may begin sharing your information on the day you sign our agreement. When you are no longer our customer, we may continue to share your information as described in this notice. You can contact us at help@sootchysecurities.com at any time to limit our sharing.
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, Sootchy Securities uses security measures that comply with federal law such as: restricting access to only employees who required access to your information, implementing computer and software safeguards, deleting information after it is no longer required, and maintaining secured physical storage areas.
Federal law allows you the right to limit the sharing of your NPI by “opting-out” of the following: sharing of information related to your creditworthiness with Non-affiliates for any purposes and sharing of your information for Affiliate and Non-affiliate marketing purposes. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Please notify Sootchy Securities immediately if you choose to opt out of these types of sharing.
