privacy policy
Investment advisors are required by law to inform consumers and customers of their policies regarding their handling of non-public personal information (“NPI”). At Evolve Wealth Advisors LP and its Affiliates (collectively, “Evolve Wealth Advisors,” “we,” our,” or “us”), due to the relationships that we have with our clients, we consider ourselves bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law, and it is an objective of the company to protect the privacy of all clients and customers. We understand that keeping your personal information private is an important concern, and we want you to understand how we gather and use NPI to provide services to you.
types of npi we collect
We collect NPI about you that is either provided to us by you or obtained by us with your authorization. This information can include, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address(es), social security number, date of birth, banking information, financial account numbers and/or balances, sources and amounts of income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and, in very limited cases, credit card numbers and/or information.
where we may obtain this information
We may collect information directly from you on applications, website input fields, and other forms that you complete. Additionally, we obtain information about your transactions with us and others such as custodians, broker/dealers, and other companies. With your consent, we may also obtain information from your other advisors and professionals.

​
If you are a new customer, we may begin sharing your information on the day you sign our agreement. When you are no longer our customer, we may continue to share your information as described in this notice; however, you can contact us at any time to limit our sharing, as described below, and provided by law.
parties to whom we disclose
information
Like most modern businesses, we may need to share personal information to run our everyday operations. We do not disclose any NPI about our customers or former customers inconsistently with this policy without express authorization, except where we are compelled to do so by law. We restrict access to NPI internally to those employees and officers who require that information to provide our products and services to you. We want to assure all our clients, past, present, and future, that we safeguard the NPI provided to us and only use it for necessary business purposes and with the utmost of integrity, discretion, and professional judgment. In the section below, we list the reasons that we may share your NPI:
federal law gives you the right to limit sharing - opting out
Federal law allows you the right to limit the sharing of your NPI by “opting-out” of the following: sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes, information about your creditworthiness; or sharing with affiliates or non-affiliates who use your information to market to you. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Please notify us immediately if you choose to opt out of these types of sharing.
other rights and remedies
To the extent permitted by the law of the state where you reside, you may request to have your NPI corrected if, for example, it is incomplete or incorrect. You may also opt out of receiving marketing material at any time, and you may, if you believe that your NPI has been used inappropriately, file a complaint with your local government privacy officer or ombudsperson, if such an office has been established. If you believe that your information has not been used properly, please contact us about the matter so we can speak with you and remedy the situation immediately and directly between us.
PROTECTING CONFIDENTIALITY OF CURRENT AND FORMER CLIENT’S INFORMATION
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we employ security measures that we believe are reasonably designed to protect the security and confidentiality of your information and that comply with federal law. These measures include confidentiality agreements with companies with whom we contract to provide services, password-protected user access to our computer files, training of employees, and strict policies for our employees regarding the use of confidential information.
We require third parties who assist us in providing our services to you to protect the personal information that they receive from us, including our customers’ and clients’ NPI.
Even if you cease to be our client or customer, this Privacy Policy will continue to apply, and we will continue to treat your NPI as confidential information.
changes to our policy
If Evolve Wealth Advisors changes this Privacy Policy so as to allow us to disclose NPI not covered under applicable law, we will allow clients and customers the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure to the extent provided by law.

In addition, Evolve Wealth Advisors has a supplemental disclosure for California residents that will be provided to you, if applicable, when you become a customer or client and at any other time upon your request. The California Supplement is to be read in conjunction with this Privacy Policy, but in the case of conflict between the two, for California residents, the California Supplement shall govern.
