In some of our email messages or text messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Site. When Users click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We may, now or in the future, track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. You have the option to opt out at any time from any and all marketing materials.

Custodian Statements

Alpha Wealth Funds does not hold client funds. All money managed by AWF is held by approved custodian firms, including but not limited to Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, and GoldStar Trust Company. Clients who opt to have money managed by AWF on these platforms do so by voluntarily creating an account. Once a client is signed up for such an account, they will receive statements and notices from the custodian regarding accounts. An account may require information such as (but not limited to): name, email address, birth date, gender, address, schools, parent or legal guardian contact information, income, and more. Both during the application and account creation process and afterward, a custodian firm may request additional data as needed to complete transactions. We ask that children under 16 do not provide any Data to us without parental consent. Email and text message notifications are sent at various intervals to individuals with accounts to help them navigate their account, learn about important updates and opportunities, and get the most out of the platform. To unsubscribe from all AWF email notifications, contact the AWF team at info@alphawealthfunds.com. Communication from custodians is not managed by AWF and opt-in and opt-out must be taken care of through the custodian firm.

Legal Basis for Processing

Consent

Any Data that is voluntarily given to AWF by a User is given with consent. AWF will ask for explicit consent to process certain types of sensitive data such as financial data. Any consent given for the processing of Data may be revoked at any time, barring a legal obligation or legitimate interest to continue the processing or storage of that Data. In compliance with Federal requirements, we retain client Data given through consent for five years after you terminate your account, unsubscribe, contact us, or until we believe you no longer reasonably expect us to retain the data. In the event that you choose to close or terminate your account, or unsubscribe from our email notifications, we may preserve your data for legal or insurance reasons as necessary for up to five years.

Legitimate Interest and Performance of a Contract

We may process Data about you as described in this Privacy Policy when such processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests typically include: improving our services, maintaining and enhancing our technology and services, ensuring the security of all User’s Data, and ensuring the security of our website. In other cases, we will collect and process Data about you to complete and implement financial and investment plans you have approved; to inform you of upcoming events or new products; or to inform you about new programs that you may be eligible for due to a change in your age range. We retain Data as long as we have an ongoing business relationship with you, a legitimate interest, you remain subscribed or legal need including abiding by federal, state, or local laws and for insurance purposes. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of Data involved but typically lasts for five years. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter or marketing communication by contacting info@alphawealthfunds.com.

Automatic Profiling

AWF may use an automated method to determine the frequency and type of marketing emails you receive. We utilize information such as email open rates, information about how you found out about AWF, and demographic information such as (but not limited to) age, geographic location, and school in this processing.

Data Sharing, Security, Submission, and Additional Policies
