Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) establishes federal privacy requirements for financial institutions. In addition, applicable regulations require investment advisers and other financial institutions to provide clear and conspicuous notice regarding their privacy policies and practices.

These requirements include explaining how financial institutions collect and use nonpublic personal information, the circumstances under which such information may be disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties, and the safeguards maintained to protect customer information.

Mutual Investment LLC understands that protecting your financial privacy is just as important as protecting your financial assets. We are committed to the responsible collection, use, and protection of your information in order to provide the financial and investment-related services you request and to help you pursue your financial goals.

This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand how Mutual Investment LLC gathers, uses, maintains, and protects your financial information.

This Privacy Policy describes how we treat nonpublic personal information that we may obtain from our customers or from consumers generally.

Collection of Nonpublic Personal Information

We collect information necessary to provide financial planning, investment management, advisory, and related services to you, to protect you from fraud and unauthorized activity, and to provide products and services that may be appropriate for your financial needs.

We may collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

  • Information you provide directly to us. This may include information regarding your financial circumstances, investment objectives, financial goals, income, assets, liabilities, risk tolerance, as well as investment account statements, tax-related documents, estate planning documents, identification documents, applications, forms, and other information you provide to us.

  • Information provided by authorized third parties. You may direct individuals or professionals, such as your accountant, attorney, financial institution, or other authorized representative, to provide information about you to us.

  • Information received through transactions and communications. We may collect information that we receive from you through transactions, correspondence, applications, telephone conversations, electronic communications, meetings, and other communications with us.

  • Information obtained in connection with providing financial products or services. We may collect information that is otherwise obtained in connection with providing, administering, servicing, or maintaining a financial product or service for you.

Information Sharing with Non-Affiliated Third Parties

Mutual Investment LLC does not share nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers with anyone, except as permitted or required by applicable law, as directed or authorized by you, or as otherwise described below.

For example, you may authorize us to provide certain information directly to your accountant, attorney, banker, financial institution, or other professional or service provider.

We may also disclose limited information to companies, organizations, or individuals that assist us in maintaining and servicing your accounts or in providing services to you. These service providers may include custodians, financial institutions, technology providers, compliance professionals, accountants, auditors, legal professionals, and other vendors that support our business operations.

We may disclose information when necessary to:

  • Service or maintain your account;

  • Process transactions or provide requested financial services;

  • Protect against fraud, unauthorized transactions, or other unlawful activity;

  • Comply with legal, regulatory, or governmental requirements;

  • Respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes;

  • Maintain, monitor, and responsibly operate our business; or

  • Perform other activities permitted or required by applicable law.

We limit disclosures of nonpublic personal information to the information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

Security

For your protection, Mutual Investment LLC maintains security standards and procedures designed to safeguard your nonpublic personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.

Access to nonpublic personal information is restricted to those individuals and service providers who have a legitimate business need to access such information in order to provide products or services, operate our business, or comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality and security of your nonpublic personal information.

Mutual Investment LLC emphasizes to its employees and personnel the importance of protecting confidential and nonpublic personal information. Individuals with access to confidential information are expected to maintain the confidentiality of such information and comply with applicable privacy and security procedures.

Electronic Security

In securing electronic records, we use reasonable security measures, which may include password protection, access controls, firewalls, encryption, secure systems, and other technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information.

Client data may be backed up periodically and stored using appropriate secure storage methods. Where appropriate, information may be maintained at secure offsite locations or through secure third-party service providers.

Documents containing client identification information or nonpublic personal information that are no longer required are disposed of using reasonable measures designed to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, which may include shredding or secure electronic destruction.

Where client information is transmitted electronically to authorized service providers or financial institutions, appropriate security measures, including encryption or other secure transmission methods, may be used when reasonably appropriate.

Email and Electronic Communications

Mutual Investment LLC may use email and other electronic communications to communicate with certain consumers and customers.

We do not intentionally share nonpublic personal information contained in email communications except as permitted or described in this Privacy Policy. However, email and other electronic transmissions may not always be completely secure and may potentially be accessed or read by unauthorized third parties, including internet service providers, malicious actors, or other individuals.

Accordingly, you should exercise appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive or confidential information through email or other electronic communication channels.

Former Customers

Our privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy also apply to former customers to the extent required by applicable law.

We continue to protect the confidentiality and security of nonpublic personal information we maintain about former customers and disclose such information only as permitted or required by applicable law.

Mutual Investment LLC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, applicable laws, regulations, technology, or privacy and security procedures.

When appropriate, we will provide notice of material changes as required by applicable law.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how we protect your information.
