Sharing Information with Nonaffiliated Third Parties

If you request or authorize the disclosure of the information;

To provide client account services or account maintenance;

To respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process, law enforcement or regulatory authorities;

Opt Out Provision

If, at any time in the future, it is necessary to disclose any client personal information in a way that is inconsistent with this policy, Scope Wealth Management will give its clients advance notice of the proposed disclosure so that they will have the opportunity to either opt-in or opt-out of such disclosure, as required by applicable law.

Clients are advised that the Firm believes that sharing client private information under the circumstances noted above is either mandated by law or necessary for the Firm to conduct its business and to best service client accounts.
