How and why we obtain personal information

LegacyWay takes great care to protect personal information about you and when we use it, we do so with respect for your privacy. We may use personal information about you to service, maintain, and protect your account; process transactions in your account; respond to inquiries from you or your representative; develop, offer, and deliver products and services; or to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. LegacyWay may collect public and non-public personal information about you from any of the following sources:

  • You or your representative on applications or forms (e.g., name, address, Social Security number, birth date, assets, and income)
  • Transactional activity in your account
  • Other interactions with LegacyWay (e.g., discussions with our staff, or information you enter into our websites)
  • Information from other third-party data services
  • You or your representative regarding your preferences (e.g., your choice of electronic statement delivery, or the screen layout you specify if you use our Internet sites)
  • To apply or enforce agreements between you and LegacyWay
  • Other sources with your consent or with the consent of your representative (e.g., from other institutions)

Please note that information by which you cannot be identified (e.g., anonymous or aggregated information) is not considered personal information and therefore is not subject to this privacy policy.

How we protect information about you

LegacyWay considers the protection of personal information to be a foundation of customer trust and a sound business practice. We employ physical, electronic and procedural controls and we regularly adapt these controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology. At LegacyWay, we restrict access to personal information to those who require it to develop, support, offer and deliver products and services to you.

How we share information about you with third parties

LegacyWay does not share or sell personal information about our customers with unaffiliated third parties for use in marketing their products and services. We may share personal information with the following entities:

  • Government agencies, other regulatory bodies or law enforcement officials (e.g., for tax purposes)
  • Other organizations as permitted or required by law (e.g., for fraud prevention or to respond to a subpoena)

How we share information about you within LegacyWay

We may share personal information about you with various LegacyWay affiliates including internal service providers which perform, for example, printing, mailing, and data processing services.

Information collected from our customers is not shared with LegacyWay affiliates for marketing purposes, except with your consent and as allowed by law.

Your digital privacy

Privacy, security, and service in LegacyWay’s online operations are just as critical as in the rest of our business.
