Privacy Policy

In the course of client relationships, Oak Springs Wealth Management, LLC (“Oak Springs”) gathers and maintains personal, non-public information regarding its clients’ financial circumstances and investment objectives. Oak Springs is committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of this client information. Accordingly, Oak Springs has adopted a privacy policy in accordance with SEC and FTC privacy regulations which require investment advisers to determine and disclose how they treat nonpublic information about their clients and potential clients.

Oak Springs may collect nonpublic personal information about Oak Springs’ clients and potential clients from the following sources:
Information received from account applications, written questionnaires, interviews/conversations, information forms and other client interactions;
Information about transactions with Oak Springs, any affiliates of Oak Springs, or others; and
Information OAK SPRINGS obtains or receives from a consumer reporting agency.
All client information is to be maintained in Oak Springs’ master client files and/or stored on appropriate electronic media. Information from potential clients may be filed in temporary files, but shall be subject to the same restrictions and limitations as other client files outlined below.

Adviser personnel are prohibited from sharing or disclosing nonpublic information regarding any client or potential client of Oak Springs, except (i) as necessary to service client accounts including, without limitation, the settlement, billing, processing, clearing, or transferring of client transactions; or (ii) as otherwise directed by a client. Access to all client files and information, whether in paper or electronic format, is limited to Adviser personnel for the purposes of servicing client accounts.
Adviser personnel may not remove client files or information from Oak Springs’ premises unless (i) it is necessary to service client accounts; and (ii) prior approval is obtained from the Chief Compliance Officer.
All client files are secured at the end of each business day, and exterior doors always remain locked.
All computers are set up so they ‘lock’ when not in use, requiring a password to gain access.
Traffic flow in the office is restricted, and no individuals, other than employees, are allowed free access to areas where client information is held.
Employees working remotely must utilize passwords to gain access to the Oak Springs system servers.
Oak Springs will provide clients with a privacy notice (the “Privacy Notice”) when the client engages Oak Springs for advisory or other services. The Privacy Notice details the types of nonpublic client information Oak Springs collects, the Oak Springs shares with third parties or with affiliates, the kinds of third parties with which Oak Springs shares information, the policies and practices Oak Springs has in place to protect the confidentiality and security of nonpublic client information; the procedures Oak Springs has in place to permit clients or potential clients to opt out of information sharing arrangements with third parties (inapplicable to Oak Springs so long as Oak Springs only shares information with third parties for purposes of servicing client accounts), and Oak Springs’ disposal policy.
Oak Springs shall deliver an updated Privacy Notice to all of its clients annually, even if the policy has not changed since the previous year. “Delivery” may, to the extent allowed by law, mean notification of the availability of the notice on a website.
Privacy Notices may be included in a quarterly report, newsletter or other client mailing. A copy of Oak Springs’ current Privacy Notice is attached hereto.
Oak Springs has undertaken to protect client information in the course of its disposal as well. Employees either utilize personal desk-side shredders or place material to be shredded in a secure retention container. Here it is held until 3GS (or the document shredding company of record) arrives to shred materials in bulk.
The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for evaluating Oak Springs’ compliance with this privacy policy on an ongoing basis.
