privacy policy

Effective April 15, 2025

In the course of doing business with Anderson Hoagland, our clients share nonpublic personal information with us.  It is the policy of our firm to treat this information as confidential, and we have adopted internal policies and procedures intended to limit and protect access to it. A client provides nonpublic personal information when entering into an investment management agreement with our firm; when discussing financial objectives and circumstances with our employees; when completing an account application with a custodian; and when requesting advice or assistance with a transaction involving assets managed by our firm.  This information may include a clientor family member’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, social security or taxpayer identification number, schedules of assets and liabilities, income, account balances, investment activity and (or) information provided by a client about accounts at other institutions.  

When a client enters into an investment management agreement with Anderson Hoagland, the client consents to receive electronic communication via telephone, email, or text.  Our firm does not disclose any mobile opt-in data (such as phone numbers collected for SMS communications) for marketing purposes. Our firm does not rent or sell information about current or former clients or their accounts with third parties.

Anderson Hoagland maintains a website: www.ahco.com.  When clients or visitors use the website, they agree to our website privacy policy.  We do not collect, store or process any personal information from any user of our website.  This includes names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers or other personal information.  Our website does not use cookies or tracking technologies to monitor user activity.  We do not use third-party tools, plugins or services that collect or process user data.  Our website contains links to external websites.  We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or policies of those websites.  

Assets we manage on behalf of clients are held in custody by unaffiliated banks or brokerage firms, and security transactions we initiate are effected through unaffiliated broker dealers and clearing brokers.  We manage client data on systems provided by third party software providers.  It is necessary for us, therefore, to provide certain identifying information to these third parties (including third parties who provide technical support to us for our systems as well as our legal and accounting advisors) in the course of providing our services to clients.  We limit the information we provide to these third parties to such information necessary for the third party to fulfill its contracted responsibilities.  We will release specific nonpublic information when directed by a client (e.g., to assist a client’s accountant in tax preparation) or if compelled by law to do so.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the nonpublic personal information of clients.  We restrict access to such information to those employees of our firm who require the information to provide our services to clients.  Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of clients’ nonpublic personal information and requires that it be held in confidence.

We seek to maintain the privacy of our clients’ nonpublic personal information at all times, including when transmitting information electronically or when disposing of information that we are no longer required to retain.  For example, we shred paper documents and records prior to disposal, and we erase or obliterate any data contained on electronic media in such a manner that the information can no longer be read or reconstructed.

As required by federal law, we must provide a notice of our Privacy Policy at the inception of each relationship, and it is our policy to send a notice annually.  We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time.  Should we amend this policy, we will provide an updated notice to our clients promptly.  Finally, we note that the provisions of this notice apply to both current and former clients.
