Privacy Policy

Background

As a registered investment advisor, Lake Street must comply with federal Regulation S-P (or other applicable regulations), which requires registered advisors to adopt policies and procedures to protect the “nonpublic personal information” of natural person consumers and customers and to disclose to such persons policies and procedures for protecting that information.

Nonpublic personal information includes nonpublic “personally identifiable financial information” plus any list, description or grouping of customers that is derived from nonpublic personally identifiable financial information. Such information may include personal financial and account information, information relating to services performed for or transactions entered into on behalf of clients, advice provided by Lake Street to clients, and data or analyses derived from such nonpublic personal information.

The purpose of these privacy policies and procedures is to provide administrative, technical and physical safeguards, which assist employees in maintaining the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information collected from the consumers and customers of an investment advisor. All nonpublic information, whether relating to an advisor’s current or former clients, is subject to these privacy policies and procedures. Any doubts about the confidentiality of client information must be resolved in favor of confidentiality.
