This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains our data practices, defines your privacy options, and describes how we collect, use, and disclose your information.
Together with our Terms of Use, this Policy governs our use of personal information we collect through our website at mnadvisors.com (“Site”) and social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. Please read this Policy carefully. By using or accessing Site and any services offered via the Site or other online services provided by MarksNelson LLC, you are agreeing to be bound by this Policy in respect of the information collected about you via the Sites.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” is data which identifies, describes, is associated with, or could be linked to an individual, such as a name, birth date, postal address, email address, telephone number, driver’s license, SSN, or government issued identification number, credit card number, or the like.
Personal information does not include anonymous or aggregated data that can no longer be used to identify a specific person, even if combined with other data. Also, many of our clients are businesses, companies, institutions, or other entities rather than individuals. We do not consider business information such as an individual’s title, employer, work email, work phone number, or work address to be personal information.
Information Collected Directly from You
We may collect personal information directly from you. For example, you may voluntarily provide us with personal information when you interact with us as a current, prospective, or former client, subscribe to receive information from us, send us an email, fill out a form, register for an event, apply for a job, or interact with us on social media.
Information Collected Automatically
We collect some information about you automatically through the use of cookies, log files, UTM links, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies. This information includes but may not be limited to:
Information Collected From Third Party Sources.
We may obtain information about you from third-party sources, such as Google or Apple, when applicable. This information may be utilized, analyzed, and/or compared with information that MarksNelson LLC has collected from you or that you have submitted to the Site. If MarksNelson LLC obtains information from third-party sources, you agree that your sole legal remedy for any harm associated with that information is against the third-party that provided the information to us, and that you will not assert any cause of action, claim or demand against us other than requesting we delete any erroneous information.
Collecting Information from Children Under the Age of 16
Our Site and social media platforms are not designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from any person under the age of 16.
We use your personal information for our legitimate business interests, including but not limited to:
We maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for all user information collected. Unfortunately, no transmission or data storage measure can be assured to be completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, by your continued use, you acknowledge and accept that the security, privacy, and integrity of your data cannot always be guaranteed.
We may share your personal information with affiliates and third parties who may help us operate the Site, assist us in providing you with our services, or help us assess your interest or satisfaction. Examples of these third-party services include credit card verification, data tracking, marketing initiatives, employment recruiting, document production, delivery services, and maintaining and improving the Site, social media, or our services. In providing our services, we may disclose personal information to other parties involved in accounting or business matters, including other accounting and business advisory firms, government entities, attorneys, courts, and regulatory bodies.
We may disclose your personal information if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, this Privacy Policy, or to otherwise protect our business, clients, or users.
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share information that reasonably identifies you or your organization with unaffiliated entities for their independent use except as expressly described in this Policy or with your prior permission. We will not share your information with third parties to directly market their products to you.
We may share or sell aggregated and anonymized forms of your information incapable of identifying a particular person, with third parties for any lawful purposes.
As Required by Law
We may share your personal information in response to investigations, subpoenas, court orders, law enforcement requests, or legal processes, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law.
We process data, including personal information, in the United States. We will transfer your personal information outside the United States only with your consent or to perform a contract with you, and consistent with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. The computers on which we maintain your personal information may be located in a jurisdiction whose data protection laws differ from those of your state, province, or country.
We may use various technologies, including “cookies” to collect information, pursuant to your use of the Site, from your electronic device about your activities using the Site. We may collect and store non-personally identifying information through cookies, and third-parties to profile user activity and preferences. Technical and specification information about your device and settings may be collected when you use the Site. This information may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your browser type, operating system, access time(s), the content of previously accepted “cookies” from us, and the website address that referred you to the Site.
A cookie is data stored on your device that tracks non-personal information about you. When using the Site, we may assign your device one or more cookies that enable us to improve the quality of the Site and to personalize your experience.

Clear GIFs
Clear GIFs (also called pixel tags or web beacons) are small files embedded in websites that are often used in combination with cookies. These often-transparent images allow us to count users who have visited certain pages, generate statistics about usage, and make the website more intuitive and user friendly. They are not used to access personal information.
Our System may contain links to other websites. These websites may have privacy policies different than our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your use of those websites and that it is your responsibility to review the applicable terms of use and privacy policies.

You may be able to post content to third-party social networking sites (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) on which we maintain a presence.

We will provide information to the social networking site(s), and receive information from them, in accordance with your elections.
We may store your information from the time of initial submission, as well as automated personal information about you.
We take reasonable security measures to protect users’ information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, anti-malware endpoint protection and industry standard data center security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal information, and the usage of reputable third-party vendors. Despite these reasonable measures, we cannot guarantee our security measures are impenetrable. Therefore, although we take reasonable steps to secure your information, we cannot and do not promise or warrant that your information will always remain secure.
