Wessel Investment Counsel (hereafter, “We”, “Us”, “Our”) respects the confidentiality of your personal, non-public information (hereafter, “PNPI”). It is Our intention to ensure that this information is safeguarded to protect against its misuse. To that end, We are providing you with a copy of Our current Privacy Policy to remind you of Our concern for and efforts related to the protection of your PNPI.

Privacy Policy

As part of Our engagement with you, We will collect certain PNPI about you which will generally include information regarding your full name, address, phone number, date of birth, social security number, drivers license number, various account numbers and balances, tax returns, estate planning documents, sources and amounts of income and probable expenditures as well as other sensitive items that may be pertinent to an analysis of your financial situation.

All PNPI gathered by Us and all recommendations and advice furnished by Us to you will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone, except as you and We may so agree in writing or as We may be required to do so by law, or as may be required for Us to render service to you.

We restrict access to your PNPI to those of Our employees who need to use your PNPI in the course of rendering services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to comply with federal standards to safeguard your PNPI.

If you have agreed to accept financial planning, investment management, and/or other advisory services from Us, We may share your PNPI with certain third parties. For example, We may share your PNPI with affiliated or non-affiliated third parties who are engaged by Us to act as the broker-dealer for and/or custodian of those investment assets you have engaged Us to manage for you. We will share only that PNPI from you that is necessary for Us to facilitate and maintain those third-party relationships that are necessary for Us to be able to provide Our services to you.

Should you prefer, We will not disclose PNPI about you to non-affiliated third parties. You may opt out of such disclosures. That is, you may direct Us to not make any disclosures other than those disclosures that are required or permitted by law.
