On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.  Title V of the act sets forth privacy requirements for the use of nonpublic personal financial information by virtually everyone in the financial services industry.  That includes me.  And the law became mandatory on July 1, 2001.  So, I’m required to notify you now, and annually, about the privacy policies that are in place to protect you.

And, while this is annoying to have more paperwork to waste my time on, it’s really pretty simple and straightforward. 

I don’t share your information with anyone unless I’m required to do so by law, or in order to provide you with the products and/or services you have asked for.  I certainly don’t sell your information to anyone.  I maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to comply with state and federal standard to guard your confidential personal information.  And any old or outdated material I have that contains anything personal or financial is shredded.

Obviously, applications that contain information of a financial nature are sent to the appropriate custodians, mutual funds, insurance companies, private money managers, accountants, or attorneys, etc.  I have no control over their treatment of the information.  However, you are undoubtedly receiving these notices from all of them alerting you to their policies.

You have the right to opt of the disclosure of any information I gather about you to other sources.  But, please be aware that by opting out, you could prevent me from providing the product or service you have requested.  You may opt out by calling me at 602-569-6126 and requesting to do so.

This privacy policy statement in provided on behalf of Charles C. Scott, Pelleton Capital Management, Ltd.

And, as such, I remain, obediently compliant.

Yours truly,

Charles C. Scott
