This information enables us to provide you with responsive, personalized service and allows us to help you achieve your goals.

- Information regarding securities transactions effected by us; and
- Client financial information such as net worth, assets, income, bank account information, and account balances.
HOW WE MANAGE AND PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
FSA is an independent, privately-owned firm. Therefore we do not have any affiliates with whom we share your personal and financial information. We do not sell information about current or former clients to third parties, nor is it our practice to disclose such information to third parties unless requested to do so by a client or authorized client representative or, if necessary, in order to process a transaction or service an account. As permitted by law, we may share your information without your permission to our third-party service providers in order to help administrate our business, such as brokerage and custodial firms, legal counsel, accountants, consultants and technology companies. Companies we hire for services of this kind are not allowed to use your personal information for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality.
At FSA, we understand how important it is to protect your personal and financial information. That’s why we have in place physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Our staff is educated regarding the importance of confidentiality and privacy related to our related policies and procedures which restrict the use of client information and require that it be held in strict confidence.
