At GWN Securities, Inc. (“GWN”) we understand that the privacy and security of the personal and account information that you have entrusted to us and to our independent associates with whom you have chosen to do business is of utmost importance. We value the opportunity to serve you, and we are obligated to honor that relationship with care. For that reason, GWN and its affiliate company, GWN Marketing, Inc., adhere to confidentiality standards that are designed to protect your personal information. We believe that your privacy should not be compromised. At the same time we want our independent associates to offer you the array of financial products and services you need to accomplish your financial goals. We believe we can do both through the policy outlined below.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

When you establish a relationship with an independent GWN associate and purchase financial and investment products and services through GWN, you are asked to share personal and financial information used to help in the assessment and attainment of your financial goals. In that relationship, independent Global World associates will use the information to assist you in identifying the services and products you may want or need, to meet changing needs, and to identify constantly developing new products and services that may be of interest to you. GWN may also want to contact you to review your current information and status in order to assure that both we and our independent associates can serve you better. The information you share with us is important to you, and you can expect that we will protect the privacy and use of your private personal and financial information. At GWN we are committed to protecting the privacy of the information we collect, use, and share about you.

OUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

So that you may be better served, GWN  and its independent associates may share information about you with non-affiliated financial institutions, such as banks, clearing firms or custodians, who perform services on our behalf or when necessary for the performance of our services. These non-affiliated financial institutions are bound by obligations of confidentiality not to disclose any information provided by GWN or any independent GWN associate about you and may not use such information for any purposes other than the performance of the particular service involved. We also may disclose information about you to non-affiliated third parties as permitted by law, for example to process a financial product or service that you have authorized.

In this way we can also make available new products and services. Our employees have access to your information only when it is necessary for them to assist you or your independent GWN associate in the completion of transactions or in the offer and sale of additional products and services. All of our employees are strictly held to this privacy policy, and each of our independent associates confirms his or her undertaking to be strictly bound by it.

Except as described above, we do not share your information with any non-affiliated third party that may seek to offer you products or services or for any other reason. If in the future we determine that there is a need to disclose your information to any non-affiliated third party, other than as described in this policy or permitted by law, we will provide you with the opportunity, in advance, to direct us not to disclose the information, and to “opt out” of that disclosure.

KEEPING INFORMATION CURRENT

GWN and its independent associates are committed to keeping your non-public personal and financial information secure, accurate and current. You should provide your independent GWN associate with any updates and changes to your personal information.

CHANGES AND UPDATES TO PRIVACY POLICY

By effecting transactions through GWN   you consent to the collection and use of personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This policy reflects GWN’s current business practices, and is subject to change and update. In the event of a change, a revised policy will be sent to you or otherwise made available through your independent GWN associate.
