MAP cares about your privacy

MAP considers your privacy to be a fundamental aspect of its relationship with you, and MAP strives to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and security of your non-public personal information (“Personal Information”). To ensure your privacy, MAP has developed policies that are designed to protect your Personal Information while allowing your needs to be served.

Information MAP may collect

In the course of providing you with products and services, MAP may obtain Personal Information about you, which may come from sources such as account application enrollment and other MAP forms, from other written, electronic, or verbal communications, from account transactions, from a Selling Institution, and/or from information you provide on the MAP website.

You are not required to supply any of the Personal Information that MAP may request. However, failure to do so may result in MAP being unable to open and maintain your Account, or to provide services to you.

How your information is shared

MAP does not disclose your Personal Information to anyone for marketing purposes.

This applies to all of the categories of Personal Information that MAP collects about you. The affiliated and non-affiliated service providers who receive your Personal Information also may use it to process your transactions, provide you with materials (including preparing and mailing prospectuses and reports and gathering shareholder proxies), and provide you with account statements. These service providers provide services to MAP, and under their respective service agreements, they are required to keep your Personal Information confidential and to use it only for providing the contractually required services. MAP’s service providers may not use your Personal Information to market products and services to you except in conformance with applicable laws and regulations. MAP also may provide your Personal Information to your respective Selling Institution, custodian, and/or to your Financial Professional.

In addition, MAP reserves the right to disclose or report Personal Information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where MAP believes in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities or pursuant to other legal processes, or to protect MAP’s rights or property, including to enforce this Privacy Policy or other agreements with you. Personal Information collected by MAP also may be transferred as part of a corporate sale, restructuring, bankruptcy, or other transfer of assets.

In maintaining this information, MAP has implemented appropriate procedures that are designed to restrict access to your Personal Information only to those who need to know that information in order to provide products and/or services to you.
