Our Commitment to Your Privacy: III Offshore Advisors ("III") has a longstanding
policy of protecting the confidentiality and security of information we collect
about our clients. We do not share nonpublic information about you ("Information")
outside of III without your consent except for specific purposes described below,
in accordance with all applicable laws. This notice describes the Information we
may gather and the circumstances under which we may share it.
Why We Collect and How We Use Information: We limit the collection and use
of Information to the minimum we require to deliver superior service to you. Such
service includes advising you about our products, services and other opportunities,
maintaining your account(s) with us, processing transactions requested by you or
other persons authorized by you and administering our business.
How We Gather Information: We get most information directly from you, when
you apply for, access and use our resources, applications or services – whether
in person, by telephone or electronically. We may verify this information or get
additional information from consumer reporting agencies or public sources. This
Information may relate to your finances, employment, avocations or other personal
characteristics, as well as transactions and interactions with or through us or
with others.
How We Protect Information: Our employees, registered representatives and
investment advisor representatives acting on our behalf are required to protect
the confidentiality of Information and to comply with our established policies.
They may access Information only when there is an appropriate reason to do so, such
as to administer your account or offer products or services. We may also maintain
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect Information, which comply
with all applicable laws. Employees who violate our Privacy Policy will be subject
to disciplinary process.
Disclosure of Information: We may disclose any Information when we believe
it necessary for the conduct of our business, or where disclosure is required by
law. For example, Information may be disclosed for audit or research purposes, to
attorneys or other professionals, or to law enforcement and regulatory agencies
to help, among other things, prevent fraud or money laundering. In addition, we
may disclose Information to third party service providers (i) to enable them to
provide business services for us, such as performing computer-related or data maintenance
providers, (ii) to facilitate the processing of transactions requested by you, (iii)
to assist us in offering our products and services to you, or (iv) for credit review
or reporting purposes. Except in those specific, limited situations, without your
consent, we will not make any disclosures of Information to other companies who
may want to sell their products or services to you. For example, we do not sell
customer lists and we will not sell your name to a catalogue company or telemarketer.
Moreover, it is III's policy to require all third parties that are to receive any
Information to sign strict confidentiality agreements.
Our Former Clients: Even if you are no longer a III client, our Privacy Policy
will continue to apply to you.
Access to and Correction of Information: Upon your written request, we will
make available for your review any file we may maintain for your personal Information;
provided, however, that any Information collected in connection with, or in anticipation
of, any claim or legal proceeding will not be made available. If you notify us that
any Information is incorrect, we will review it. If we agree, we will correct our
records. If we don't agree, you may submit a short statement of dispute, which we
will include in any future disclosure of the disputed Information.
Further Information: We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at
any time. The examples contained within this Privacy Policy are illustrations and
are not intended to be exclusive. This notice complies with a recent Federal law
and regulations relating to privacy. You may have additional rights under foreign
or domestic laws that may apply to you.
