PIA is committed to the confidentiality and privacy of our clients’
non-public personal information.
I. CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION
PIA comes into possession of and/or collects non-public personal
information about our clients (the "information"):
- from applications, correspondence, account contracts, fiduciary
documents and other documents and forms;
- from client transactions with us, account activity and holdings;
and
- from third parties, consultants, custodians, attorneys, from which
clients have authorized us to obtain such information.
II. DISCLOSURES TO UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES
PIA generally does not disclose information to third parties except
as permitted by law. Third party processors or service providers may
have access to information of clients in order to provide or assist PIA
in providing services to PIA clients. In all cases, such third parties
are prohibited from using, disclosing, or releasing information outside
the scope of providing such services and have executed contracts
containing confidentiality provisions.
III. OPT OUT PROVISIONS
In the event that PIA intends to disclose information to a third
party that is not providing services to PIA, then, PIA will notify all
affected clients of such intended disclosure. Each such client will be
advised of the nature of the disclosure and given instructions on how to
opt out. At present, PIA has no intention of disclosing information to
third parties beyond the necessary disclosures to processors and service
providers and as otherwise permitted by law.
IV. SECURITY
PIA restricts access to information about clients to those employees
who need to know that information to provide services to such clients.
PIA maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply
with state and federal regulations to guard client information.
