Protecting Your Privacy
First Nation Eagle recognizes that safeguarding personal and financial information about our clients is an essential commitment we make and trust we hold. In this regard, we have adopted certain policies and procedures concerning the use of personal and financial information 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 Privacy Policy Notice outlines those policies and procedures.
Collection of Information
First Nation Eagle 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 to verify the information you provide us at the time you open an account;
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, usage or loan history) or others.
First Nation Eagle will not disclose any personal or financial information about our clients or former clients without their authorization or direction, except as disclosed below.
Important Information About Procedures For Opening A New Account: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. First Nation Eagle may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
Information Sharing with Unaffiliated Third Parties Is Permitted By Law
First Nation Eagle may provide information to unaffiliated third parties (such as Vanguard®, 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 authorized or requested by you or your agent. However, any such disclosure not specifically authorized or requested by you will only be as permitted by law and only as reasonably necessary for First Nation Eagle 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 for the sole purpose of providing the service we have requested the company to perform.
Sharing Information in Other Situations
First Nation Eagle may also disclose information about you as required by law, or regulatory or government authorities, such as when we respond to a subpoena or other legal process. 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
First Nation Eagle maintains 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
First Nation Eagle is just as committed to protecting the privacy of our former clients as we are 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.
