This privacy policy explains the manner in which Private Wealth Group, LLC (hereinafter “PWG”) collects, utilizes and maintains nonpublic personal information about its clients, as required under recently enacted federal legislation. This privacy policy only applies to nonpublic information belonging to individuals (not entities).

Subscription forms, investor questionnaires and other information provided by the investor in writing, in person, by telephone, electronically or by any other means. This information includes name, address, nationality, tax identification number, and financial and investment qualifications; and
Transactions related to the investment activities of PWG, including account balances, investments and withdrawals.
Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information
PWG does not sell or rent investor information. PWG does not disclose nonpublic personal information about individuals to nonaffiliated third parties or to affiliated entities, except in connection with the conduct of the investment activities of PWG or as required by law. For example, PWG may share nonpublic personal information in the following situations:
To service providers in connection with the administration and servicing of PWG, to include attorneys, accountants, auditors and other professionals. PWG may also share information in connection with the servicing or processing of PWG transactions;

Upon consent of a client to release such information, including authorization to disclose such information to persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of the investor.
Protection of Client and Investor Information
PWG’s policy is to require that all employees, financial professionals and companies providing services on its behalf keep information of clients and investors confidential. PWG maintains safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect information of the clients and investors. PWG restricts access to the personal and account information of clients and investors to those employees who need to know that information in the course of their job responsibilities. Third parties with whom PWG shares the clients or investors information must agree to follow appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.
PWG’s privacy policy applies to both current and former clients and investors. PWG may disclose nonpublic personal information about former clients and investors to the same extent as for current clients and investors.
