PRIVACY & IDENTITY VERIFICATION POLICES
_________________________________________________________________________
June 2009,
Johnston, Lemon & Co. Incorporated has been providing service for over 88 years and is committed to your financial well being, and protecting the privacy and security of the information you share with us is included in that commitment. You trust us with your personal and financial information, and we honor that trust by handling your information carefully and sensibly. The benefits derived from these protections apply to all of our customers.
While we do not sell or trade any information to third parties, we do collect nonpublic, personal information about you from the following sources:
· Information we receive from you on applications or other forms.
· Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates and others.
· Information gathered from organizations used to verify our client's identities in accordance with the U.S. Patriot Act.
We do not disclose any nonpublic, personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as required by law. To improve our efficiency, we outsource some of our functions to unaffiliated service providors (for example, mutual fund groups and securities clearing houses). That means that we select service companies to perform business operations for us to work on our behalf to provide services. We are highly selective in choosing these companies, and we restrict the information we provide them to only what they need to do their job. We require them to comply with strict standards of security and confidentiality, and they are not permitted to release, use or transfer any customer information to any other party for their own purposes. We also exchange certain information about our customers when it's legally required (such as in response to a subpoena) and to prevent fraud or to comply with a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency or regulator. We reserve the right to make changes to our privacy policy at any time.
We restrict access to any nonpublic, personal information about you to those employees and agents who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your nonpublic, personal information.
If you would like to learn more or have any questions, please call us at 800-424-5158 ext. 5618.
