FDP WEALTH MANAGEMENT PRIVACY POLICY
IMPORTANT PRIVACY CHOICES FOR CONSUMERS
At FDP Wealth Management (FDP) and its affiliated companies, our customers are our highest priority. As providers of financial products and services that involve the collection of personal information, protecting the confidentiality of that information has been, and will continue to be, a top priority for FDP. Due to the sensitive nature of this personal information, FDP believes that you should know how your information is handled, the measures we have taken to safeguard that information and the situations in which we might share your information with select business partners. Our privacy promise to you is based upon the basic principles of trust, ethics and integrity.
When you deal with FDP, certain personal and financial information is collected from you. FDP uses this information to serve your financial needs and to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. The information gathered for these purposes varies depending on the products or services that you request but may include, for example, your name, address, social security number, net worth, annual income and certain medical information. FDP will not share your nonpublic information with any person or company that does not agree to keep your information confidential.

i) Individuals: Your personal and financial information will be provided to those employees, registered representatives, their assistants and those who process information or the transactions in connection with products/services being provided to you;
ii) To companies with which FDP has selling agreements: FDP will share your personal and financial information with other financial services entities, such as insurance companies and mutual fund companies, in order to effect transactions which you have requested or authorized.
