Safeguarding your privacy is and will remain our top priority. We want our current and prospective clients to understand what information we collect, why we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your personal information.

We may collect the following types of “nonpublic personal information” about you:

Use of Information
We gather, manage, and retain information associated with you to offer client support, provide new products or services, and deliver our services to you in compliance with regulatory authorities like the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is optional for you to disclose such information to us, but if you choose not to share, you won't be able to enroll as a client.
We may share the information required for client enrollment with our brokerage partner exclusively for enabling our brokerage partner to provide services to you.
We may utilize your personal data to communicate with you about our service or inform you about blog posts or services that we deem would pique your interest. In case you decide to discontinue receiving marketing communications from us, kindly follow the "unsubscribe" guidelines specified in the communications. Please be informed that administrative communications like regulatory, billing, or service notifications cannot be opted-out.
What Information We Disclose
We do not disclose, rent, sell, or trade any nonpublic personal information about our existing or past clients to anyone, except as permitted by law and unless one of the following conditions is met:
-
We receive your prior written consent; or
-
When required during the course of a firm's assessment (i.e., an independent CEFEX assessment or an audit); or
-
We have documentation that the recipient is your authorized representative; or
-
We are required by law to disclose information to the recipient (i.e., periodic regulatory examination, comply with civil, criminal, or regulatory investigations by federal, state, and local authorities)
Under specific circumstances described below, we may share your personal data without additional notification to you. Occasionally, we may contract other companies to carry out specific business and technology functions (such as mailing information, managing databases, and processing payments). When we hire a third-party to perform such a function, we only disclose the bare minimum of information required to execute their specific task. Lestna Retirement has stringent physical, electronic, and procedural protections in place to safeguard your nonpublic personal information.
Any arrangements between Lestna Retirement and other companies and independent contractors will be subject to confidentiality agreements.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
Your privacy is very important to us. To ensure security and confidentiality, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your confidential personal information. Within the firm, we limit access to clients' information only to personnel that need to know that information in order to perform its business functions and duties. Each employee and service provider we may hire is required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement and is instructed not to discuss and share clients' information with anyone unless they are authorized in writing by client to do so.
Other Information

We make every effort to safeguard your Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
