Information Collected
In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you are or revealing
any information about yourself. Our web servers do not collect the domain names,
not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. However, there are portions of this Web site
where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose,
such as to provide you with certain information you request. The information collected
from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address.
For electronic access to your investment account with Open Asset, we collect your
tax identification number to verify your account status.
This Web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly
solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly
market our products or services to children.

Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and
instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the
site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site
and to improve the content of our site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address,
we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal
information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond
to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive electronic annual
reports or to be added to our supplier diversity database). This information may
be shared with other Open Asset businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your
request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired
to provide services for us. These companies - our vendors - are contractually bound
to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have
hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about
you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about
you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally
limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If you register with one of Open Asset’s business units online, they may use this
information to provide you with custom information about Open Asset's offerings
in support of your business needs. You should review the privacy policy associated
with that Open Asset’s business' Web site for further information about that Open
Asset business' privacy practices. For example, a technology called cookies may
be used to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is a tiny element of
data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your
hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. You may set your browser to
notify you when you receive a cookie.
Links to Other Sites
Open Asset's Web site may contain links to other sites such as Open Asset distributors
and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards
and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy
practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
we maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect
your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict
access to information about you to those Open Asset’s investment advisors and support
staffs who need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers
who misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.
