Privacy Policy

Our clients' privacy is of utmost importance

The 1911 Trust Company recognizes that quality relationships with clients are built with quality services and products and sensitivity to our clients' needs and concerns. We believe that part of providing quality service is protecting each person's right to privacy. It is in the best interest of our clients and of The 1911 Trust Company to protect against improper disclosure of personal information. To this end we have formulated this privacy policy.

This policy describes how we protect the confidentiality of the nonpublic personal information you share with us, the types of information we collect and how we use it and, how, on a limited basis, we share it. It is The 1911 Trust Company's policy not to sell client information or client lists to third parties.

It will be helpful to define some terms we use in this policy.

We, our, and us means The 1911 Trust Company.

Nonpublic personal information means personally identifiable financial information about you that we collect and that is not available from public sources, such as telephone directories or government records.

An affiliate is a company we own or control, a company that owns or controls us, or a company that is owned or controlled by the same company that owns or controls us. Ownership does not mean complete ownership, but means owning enough to have control.

A third party is a company that is not an affiliate of ours.

The information we collect is limited to what we believe is necessary or useful to conduct our business; to understand your financial needs so that we can provide you with the services, financial products and opportunities you want; to protect and administer your records, accounts and funds; to comply with certain laws and regulations; to comply with your requests of us; and to help us design or improve our products and services.
We collect this information from the following sources:

Information we receive from you on applications or other forms or in other communications with you, such as your name, address, social security or tax identification number, assets, income and debts, financial needs and goals.

We do not sell client lists or client information to third parties.

We only share information of former clients to the same extent that we share information of existing clients.
