The short version
We collect only what we need to give you financial advice and run our business. We do not sell your information. We do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. We share it only with the firms that help us serve you, such as the custodian that holds your accounts, and when the law requires it.
Questions about this policy can go to Chris Pappe directly at [email address].
Who this covers
This policy explains how Autorotate Wealth Management LLC (“Autorotate,” “we,” “us”) handles personal information. It applies to visitors to autorotatewealth.com, to people who contact us about our services, and to current and former clients.
If you become a client, you will also receive our formal privacy notice when our relationship begins and whenever our practices change in a way that requires a new notice. That notice is part of this policy.
What we collect
When you visit or contact us
- Information you choose to send us through our contact form, by email, or when you schedule a call, such as your name, email, phone number, and anything you write in your message.
- Basic technical information collected automatically when you browse, such as your browser type, device, approximate location based on IP address, and the pages you visit. See Cookies and analytics.
When you become a client
To provide advice that fits your situation, and to meet our legal obligations, we collect nonpublic personal information, which may include:
- Identifying information, such as your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and government ID.
- Financial information, such as income, assets, account balances, holdings, tax returns, and transaction history.
- Planning information, such as your goals, risk tolerance, family and beneficiary details, and information about employment, military service, pensions, and benefits.
- Information from third parties you authorize, such as your custodian, employer plans, or other financial professionals.
How we use it
- To respond to your questions and decide together whether we are a good fit.
- To build and carry out your financial plan, manage your accounts, and bill our fees.
- To open and maintain accounts with your custodian and process transactions you approve.
- To meet our legal, regulatory, recordkeeping, and compliance obligations.
- To keep our website working, secure, and useful.
We do not use client information to market products from other firms, and we do not receive commissions or referral fees.
How we share it
Financial companies choose how they share personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Here is how we handle each type:
| Reason we might share | Do we share? | Can you limit it? |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday business purposes, such as processing your transactions, maintaining your accounts, or responding to court orders and regulatory requests | Yes | No |
| Our own marketing to offer you our services | No | We don’t share |
| Joint marketing with other financial companies | No | We don’t share |
| Affiliates’ everyday business purposes | No | We have no affiliates |
| Nonaffiliates to market to you | No | We don’t share |
The outside parties we work with include:
- Your account custodian, [custodian name], which holds your assets and executes trades.
- Service providers that support our work, such as financial planning software, client relationship management, secure document storage, email, scheduling, billing, and compliance consultants. They may use your information only to perform services for us and must protect it.
- Regulators, auditors, and legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or examination.
- Other professionals, such as your accountant or attorney, only when you direct us to.
- A successor firm, if our business is sold, merged, or transferred. You would be notified first.
We never sell personal information.
Cookies and analytics
Our site uses a small number of cookies so that it works properly. We use [Google Analytics / Jetpack Stats / no analytics] to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, such as which pages are viewed most. We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites for advertising.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though some features such as scheduling may not.
Our scheduling tool, [Calendly / other], and any other embedded services operate under their own privacy policies.
How we protect it
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect client information. These include encrypted storage and transmission, multi-factor authentication on our systems, restricted access, and written security policies. We require our service providers to safeguard your information as well.
Email is not a secure way to send sensitive information. Please do not email Social Security numbers, account numbers, or tax documents. We will give you a secure way to send them.
If a breach affecting your information occurs, we will notify you as required by law.
How long we keep it
Investment advisers must keep certain records for at least five years, and sometimes longer. We keep client information for as long as the law requires and as long as needed to serve you. After that, we securely dispose of it. Inquiries that don’t lead to a client relationship are deleted within [24 months].
These rules apply to former clients too. If you end our relationship, we continue to protect your information as this policy describes.
Your choices and rights
- Access and correction. You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and to correct anything that is inaccurate.
- Deletion. You can ask us to delete your information. We will do so except where the law requires us to keep it.
- Communications. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter or general updates at any time. As a client, you will still receive required account and regulatory communications.
Some states give residents additional privacy rights. Much of the information we hold as a financial institution is governed by federal financial privacy law instead of those state laws. Even so, we will consider any request you send and answer within 45 days.
Other things to know
Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information online. Information about minor children that clients share as part of planning is protected as client information.
Links to other sites
Our site may link to other websites, such as regulatory resources. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. We will post the new version here with a new effective date, and notify clients directly when required.
