This Privacy Policy Notice (the "Notice") covers the policies and practices of Vega
Capital Group LLC (“Vega Capital Group”).
Protecting Your Privacy
Vega Capital Group recognizes that safeguarding personal and financial information
about our clients is an essential commitment that we make and trust we hold. In this
regard, we have adopted certain policies and procedures concerning the use of personal
and financial information we collect about our clients. These policies and procedures
govern the activities of our officers, directors and employees and strictly limit our ability
to use or distribute personal and financial information about you. This Notice outlines
those policies and procedures.
Collection of Information
We may receive personal and financial information about you from the following
sources:
- Information you provide us on applications or other forms or which may be
publicly available (this includes your name, address, social security number, assets
and income);
- Information you direct or authorize us to obtain from third parties such as advisers
or custodians (including investment, legal, insurance or other financial advisers, or
brokerage houses, banks or asset custodians);
- Information you give us orally; and
- Information about your financial transactions with us (such as your account
balance, payments history) or others.
We do not disclose any personal or financial information about our clients or former
clients without their authorization or direction, except as disclosed below.
Information sharing with unaffiliated Third Parties as Permitted by Law
From time to time, we may provide information to third parties (such as brokers, other
financial, legal, insurance or investment advisers, or custodians) to complete a transaction
you have requested, to help us service your account or as specifically directed by you or
your agent. However, any such disclosure not specifically requested by you will only be
as permitted by law and only as reasonably necessary for Vega Capital Group or such
third parties to provide the agreed services to you. All companies with whom we do
business are contractually obligated to comply with strict standards regarding security
and confidentiality, and the information can be used only for the sole purpose of
providing the service we have requested the company to perform.
Sharing Information in Other Situations
We may also disclose information about you as required by law, such as when we
respond to subpoena or other legal process or reporting to a credit bureau. When
responding to a subpoena or other legal process, we will provide you with any required
notice and, whenever practicable, we will discuss our response with you.
Keeping Information Safe and Accurate
We limit access to information we have about you to those employees who have a
reasonable need to know to provide you with services to help you meet your financial
needs. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural internal safeguards that comply
with federal laws and regulations to guard the information we have about you.
An Ongoing Commitment to Your Privacy
We are just as committed to protecting the privacy of our former clients as we are of our
current clients. If you choose to end your relationship with us, you will continue to be
protected by the privacy policies and principles described in this policy or any future
amendments to this policy.

theft and related crimes. Helpful tips can be found on the Federal Trade Commission’s

liability other than that already found in the law.
