Protecting your privacy is
important to LandOak Securities, LLC
(LOS), our representatives,
and our employees. We want you to
understand what information we collect
and
how we use it. The following policy
serves as a standard for
all
LOS representatives
and
employees for collection, use,
retention,
and
security of nonpublic personal
information.
“Nonpublic personal information” is
nonpublic information about you that we
obtain in connection with providing a
financial product or service to you.
The law allows you to “opt
out” of only certain kinds of
information sharing with third parties.
LOS does not share personal information
about you with any third parties that
triggers this opt-out right. This means
YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED-OUT.
We collect or share nonpublic
personal information about you only in
the following limited circumstances:
§
Information we receive from you on applications or
other forms,
and
§
Information about your transactions with us, our
affiliates, or others,
and
§
Information we
may verify via outside vendors (such as
credit reporting agencies).
We do not disclose any nonpublic
personal information about our customers
to anyone, except as permitted or
required by law. Examples of permitted
disclosures under the law include
sharing with companies that
work for us to provide you with
services, such as a clearing firm,
custodian, mutual fund company,
management company, or life/annuity
company. All such companies act on our
behalf,
are
contractually obligated to keep the
information that we provide to them
confidential,
and
use the information only to provide the
services that we have asked them to
perform for you
and us. We
may also disclose or report personal
information in limited circumstances as
required by government,
law-enforcement,
or regulatory agencies.
We
may share your name
and address among affiliates for
purposes of sending you information
about financial products or services
that we believe
may
be of interest to you.
We restrict access to nonpublic
information about you to those employees
who need to know that information to
provide products or services to you. We
maintain physical, electronic,
and
procedural safeguards to guard your
nonpublic personal information.

LandOak Securities, LLC’s privacy policy
or procedures, please contact us at

Explanation of Cookies
The following is information about
cookies, how they are used, and how you
can control their use.
Q. What is a cookie?
A. A cookie is a small text file
that gets placed on your computer's hard
drive by a web page server. This text
file serves as your identification card.
A cookie is uniquely yours and can only
be read by the same server that placed
it on your computer's hard drive. This
text file cannot be executed as code,
nor can it deliver viruses.
Q. What is the purpose of a cookie?
A. The purpose of a cookie is to
inform the server (that originally
placed it on your computer's hard drive)
that you have returned to that web page.
How does a cookie help you?
A. A cookie saves you time when
returning to our website. Once you have
visited our website and entered your 2
letter state abbreviation, a cookie
helps us remember who you are. The next
time you visit us, we will know who you
are and you will proceed directly to our
main page. This also will prevent you
from having to provide us with
information that you have already given
to us during previous visits to our
site. If you do not register with us,
then our server will only know that a
person with the cookie on your
computer's hard drive has returned to
our website. You are completely in
control of deciding whether we obtain
any personal information about you.
Q. How do you control which cookies you
accept?
A. You can instruct your browser
to accept all cookies or you can
instruct it to alert you each time a
cookie is being offered. Upon being
alerted, you can determine whether you
want to accept that cookie.
Q. How can you see the code in a cookie?
A. You can simply click on a
cookie to open it. You will see a short
string of text and numbers. The numbers
are your identification card, which can
only be seen by the server that gave you
the cookie |
