We will send you service-related announcements on occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you a text or email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

We may track users by IP address, by cookies (e.g., pieces of code or text placed on your computer by us or third parties when you browse our websites), by web beacons and other data collection methods for broad demographic data, as well as to help make sure that we are delivering the information you want. Our website sends cookies to your web browser (if your browser’s preferences allow it) to collect data when you browse our website(s). Cookie settings can be controlled in your Internet browser to automatically reject some forms of cookies. If you view our website without changing your cookie settings, you are indicating your consent to receive all cookies from our website(s). If you do not allow cookies, some features and functionality of our website(s) may not operate as expected. In addition to cookies, we place technological tools (and allow certain third parties to place technological tools) such as tags and beacons (e.g., code scripts that are primarily used to track visitors’ activities on our website(s) by web analytics software), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and other tools, to collect your data for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy. “Do Not Track” signals are options available on your browser to tell operators of websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked.

California Privacy Rights Spam
Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California customers are entitled to request information relating to whether a business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing at the address information below.
Artificial Intelligence Use
We may utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools internally to assist in summarizing and organizing notes from client meetings, research, operational support, and other administrative or analytical functions to enhance record-keeping and efficiency. These AI tools do not replace human judgment oversight, and all notes are reviewed for accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. AI is not used to make investment decisions or communicate directly with clients. We conduct thorough due diligence upfront and ongoing assessments of our AI tools' privacy and cybersecurity protocols to ensure they meet standards of security and confidentiality. If you have any questions or wish to opt out of AI-assisted notetaking, please contact Michole Fields at michole@riaadvisors.com.
Opt-Out Provisions
We have taken steps to assure you that all third-party vendors have confidentiality clauses to protect your information. Should we not have such written agreements in place, then you have the option to “opt-out” of the sharing of this information. If you desire to opt out for those instances that we do not have the confidentiality clause, you should provide us with written instructions forwarded to Chief Compliance Officer at the address set out above. Additionally, the law allows you to "opt out" of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. We do not share personal information about you with any third parties that trigger this opt-out right. This means you are already opted out of these sharing situations.
Modifications to the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy that we believe materially impacts your rights, we will provide you with prominent notice on our website’s home page or by other means of notification. By continuing to use our services after those changes have become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the Page. You are responsible for periodically visiting our Sites and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
