Our Commitment to Privacy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all personal information or data entrusted to us. We value the trust you have in us and are committed to maintaining it. Consistent with this commitment, we have developed Privacy Policies that describe the personal information that eMoney collects about you, how we use such information, and the choices that you can make regarding your information. Our privacy commitment is about more than complying with applicable privacy laws. It’s about doing the right thing and delivering on our purpose to help your Clients achieve financial security.

Our Consumer Privacy Notice applies to information that we collect about individuals who seek, apply for, or obtain our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes.

Our guiding data privacy principles demonstrate our commitment to manage personal information carefully and responsibly at eMoney:

  1. Data Minimization – We focus on business-to-business (“B2B”) data and limit our collection and processing of data to what is relevant and necessary to accomplish our business purposes. The majority of our products and services provide value through data analytics to identify connections and market advantages in high-level business data.
  2. Transparency – We are transparent about how we collect personal information. Our privacy policy explains who we are, how we collect, share disclose and use personal information about you, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. Our values of excellence and integrity guide our decisions, actions, and how we deliver our products and services.
  3. Purpose – Using the personal information we collect to delivering essential intelligence and allowing our stakeholders to make informed decisions.
  4. Legal Compliance – In light of quickly evolving global privacy regulations, at eMoney we recognize privacy laws and privacy compliance is a core consideration that we prioritize.

Who We Are

eMoney is a leading financial services technology company that provides comprehensive, scalable financial planning software, aggregation services and technical solutions to our clients. Our innovative technologies empower our clients to meet a broad range of needs for their customers.

What This Policy Covers

This Policy covers the personal information we collect through the online software applications that we own and operate that link to this Policy. Our websites, www.emoneyadvisor.com, and any subsequent site we may create are collectively referred to as (the “Sites”). Together, our online software applications, technology services, and Sites are referred to as the “Services.”

Information that we collect about individuals who seek, apply for, or obtain our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes is governed by our Consumer Privacy Notice.

Defined Terms

An “Advisor” is a business customer using eMoney’s Wealth Management System (whether a financial advisor, financial institution, broker-dealer, registered investment advisor, third-party administrator, trust company, or family office customer) for the purpose of providing financial planning services to Customers. “Customer” is an individual investor who is a customer of the Advisor, and who is given credentialed access to the Services by the Advisor.

When we use the term “User” in this Policy, we mean both Customers and representatives of the Advisor who have credentialed access the Services.

“Alliance Partners” are businesses or people that the Customer authorizes to view or access their personal information in the eMoney Wealth Management System, such as a banker, accountant, or attorney retained by the Customer.

When we use the term “aggregate,” “aggregated,” or “aggregation,” we mean a process undertaken at the direction of the Customer to gather information from various sources, such as financial institutions and financial accounts, to be consolidated into the eMoney Wealth Management System. “Aggregated Customer Information” is the information that is gathered together into one location through this aggregation process, which still identifies the individual Customer. Note: This policy also refers to “Aggregated Consumer Information.” To avoid confusion, when we use the term, “Aggregated Consumer Information,” we are referring to data which has been ‘aggregated’ as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), meaning the information relates to a group or category of consumers, from which individual consumer identities have been removed, that is not linked or reasonably linkable to any consumer or household, including via a device.

When we use the term “personal information”, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. This may include information such as an address, phone number, email address, a username or other online login information; and a financial account, as well as other information (e.g., employment-related or transactional information) when coupled with a person’s identifying information.

When we use the term “financial institution”, we mean any institution defined as a “financial institution” under applicable law and any company engaged in the business of dealing with financial or monetary transactions, products or services, such as deposits, loans, investments, and currency exchange.

When we use the term “financial professional”, we mean eMoney’s commercial customer such as licensed financial advisors, financial institutions, broker-dealers, home offices, registered investment advisors, third party administrators, trust companies, and family office clients.

When we use the term “process”, we mean access, use, store, convert, format, compile, display and/or distribute. When we refer to “user(s)” or “you” in this Notice, we are referring to individual consumers who receive access credentials to the Services from a financial professional.
