What does Vining Financial Services, Inc. (“VFS”) do with your personal information?

 

 

Why?

 

 

 

 

Financial companies choose how they share your personal information.  Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing.  Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information.  Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

 

 

 

What?

 

 

 

 

The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the service that we provide to you.  This information can include, but would not be limited to:

  • your social security number and income;

  • your account balances and transactions.

 

 

 

How?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Financial companies typically need to share customers’ personal information internally in order to run their everyday business – to process transactions, maintain or service customer accounts, and report to credit bureaus.  In the section below, we list the reasons many financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons VFS chooses to share your information; and whether you can limit this sharing.

What Does VFS Do With Your Personal Information?

 

Sharing practices

 

How often does VFS notify me about their practices?

We must notify you about our sharing practices when you engage our services and each year while you are a customer.

 

How does VFS protect my personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law.  These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and offices.

 

How does VFS collect my personal information?

We collect certain personal information from you, for example, when you open an account.

 

Why can’t I limit all sharing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Federal law gives you the right to limit sharing only for

  • affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness;
  • affiliates to market to you; and
  • non-affiliates to market to you.

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.

How does VFS treat my personal information once I am no longer a customer?

The firm will provide nonpublic information about former customers only if required to do so by law or regulation or to those parties who need such information in order for the firm to carry out any continued obligation with respect to the services covered by the former adviser/customer relationship.
