4. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We and our third-party partners and service providers (such as advertisers and analytics providers) may use cookies and similar digital tracking technologies (such as pixels, web beacons, and tags) (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) on our Sites and other online services to gather information when you interact with our Sites. These Tracking Technologies help us operate our Sites, understand your usage, improve functionality, and, depending on your choices and where you live, deliver and measure advertising.
Types of Tracking Technologies.
We may use the following types of tracking technologies on our Sites:
- Strictly Necessary. These Tracking Technologies are required for the operation of Sites. These Tracking Technologies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes.
- Functional. These Tracking Technologies are used to recognize you when you return to our Sites. They remember the choices and changes you make to text size, fonts and other features you can customize. While these Tracking Technologies can be disabled, this may result in less functionality during your use of our Sites.
- Analytics. These Tracking Technologies allow us and our analytics service providers/processors to count visits and traffic sources, or test new features, so that we can measure and improve the performance of our Sites, including as part of our analytics practices to improve the content offered. They help us understand how visitors use our Sites, which site or page Visitors came from, the number of each Visitor’s visits and how long a Visitor stays on our Sites.
- Advertising and Marketing. Targeting Tracking Technologies may be set through our Sites by our advertising partners to deliver content, including ads, that are relevant to your interests across your devices, based on how you interact with our advertisements or content. They may be used by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Tracking Technologies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies.
We may use these Tracking Technologies for the following purposes:
- to enable basic functioning of our Sites or to fix any technical issue through gathering relevant technical data;
- for web analytics to improve our Sites (structure, features, accessibility and usability, content) or to fix any technical issue through gathering relevant technical data;
- to monitor the effectiveness of our online ads and marketing (by recording your interactions with our ads on third-party websites, our social media platforms or our marketing emails);
- to learn more about your preferences and browsing preference to provide you with tailored content.
How to Manage Your Tracking Technologies Preferences.
- Your Privacy Choices. Please refer to Section 9 below for more information about whether you have the right to opt-out of sales and targeted advertising, and if so, how to exercise that right. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out. Your opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Sites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased.
- Global Privacy Control. For Visitors who are residents of states whose consumer privacy laws (as applied to “financial institutions” under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) require support for web browser-based opt-out signals, such as California, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Maryland, and Minnesota, you may also opt-out of having your personal information shared with third parties for targeted advertising or sales via cookies or other similar tracking technologies by using an opt-out preference signal. The Global Privacy Control signal is currently the only opt-out preference signal we recognize. You can visit the Global Privacy Control official site at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#about to learn how to configure your device to send such signals. We will honor and process the opt-out preference signal in a frictionless manner. Your opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Sites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of sharing request on each device and browser you use to visit our Sites to completely opt-out using this method. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out.
- Browser Controls. Alternatively, you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Sites although your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. If you want to understand your browser’s cookie default setting, or learn to modify your browser’s cookie settings, please use the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menu in your browser or review the instructions provided by the following browsers:
- Opting-out of Third-Party Analytics. We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze the use of our online, web-based, and mobile-based Sites, such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics is an analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. To opt out of Google Analytics or to prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, please visit: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Disabling Certain Interest-Based Advertising. Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization’s respective participating companies, visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info.
5. How We Protect Your Personal Information
We maintain advisors, potential transactional partners, or other third parties designed to guard and prevent misuse of your personal information. Our security measures include generally accepted physical, technical and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your personal information, to maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of your personal information, and otherwise safeguard your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share such information, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. In particular, email sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. If you have any questions about the security of your interaction with us (if, for example, you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please reach out immediately via the method listed in the “Contact Us” section below.
6. Retention of Your Personal Information
Our retention periods for personal information are based on business needs and legal requirements. We will keep your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is collected, for other purposes described in the Policy, or as may be required by applicable law. If you wish to terminate your account or request that we no longer use your personal information to provide you our services, we may still retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
7. Access To Third-Party Websites From Our Sites
Our Sites or communications may provide links to other websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us, including links to social media platforms and third-party financial service providers. Links to other websites do not constitute or imply an endorsement of recommendation by use of the linked website and/or content by SEIA. This Policy only applies to personal information collected on our Sites. Please be aware that we do not have any access, control, input, or authorization over any of the materials or content contained on these third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites or social media platforms or the information they may collect. You should refer to such third parties’ privacy policies on their website to determine their privacy practices.
8. How We Handle Children’s Information
Our Sites are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information contrary to our instruction, we will take steps to delete such information from our filesystems, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law where you reside, you may be able to assert certain rights identified below with respect to your personal information. If any of the rights listed below are not provided to you under the law that governs the processing of your personal information, we have absolute discretion in providing you with those rights. Please refer to the “What Rights Apply” section to determine the rights applicable to you.
Please note, your rights in relation to your personal information are not absolute. Depending on the applicable law, access to your rights under the applicable law may be denied: (a) where denial of access is required or authorized by law; (b) when granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy; (c) to protect our rights and properties; or (d) where the request is frivolous or unrealistic.
Your privacy rights may include the following:
- Right to Know/Access. You may have the right to obtain a copy, or a list of categories of the personal information that we hold about you, as well as other supplementary information, such as the purposes of processing, and the entities to whom we disclose your personal information.
- Right to Correct. You may have the right to correct any of your personal information in our records and systems. You may request us to rectify, correct or update any of your personal information held by us that is inaccurate. In addition to the methods described below, you can correct your personal information through your account settings.
- Right to Delete. Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we hold about you. This right is not absolute, and we may refuse such a request if there are compelling legitimate grounds for keeping your personal information, for legitimate purposes, or as required by law. In addition, in the event your deletion request is honored, we may retain a record of your deletion request as required under applicable law.
- Right to Portability. You may have the right to receive a copy of the personal information we have collected about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Right to Opt-Out Sale / Right to Opt-Out of Sharing for Targeted Advertising. You may have the right to opt out of: (i) the sale of your personal information; and (ii) the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising or profiling, as defined under applicable law. We use Tracking Technologies (as described in the “Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies” Section above) and may disclose certain personal information to advertising partners.

- Right to Opt-Out of Automated Decision-making or Profiling. In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing (i.e., where a decision is taken about you using an electronic system without human involvement) that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
- Right Against Discrimination. We do not discriminate against any customers who exercise any of their rights described in this Policy.
- Right to Appeal. In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right to appeal if we refuse to take action on your rights request. Instructions on how to appeal will be provided to you upon such a denial, but in any event, such instructions will be substantially similar to those provided below for submitting requests.
- Right to Obtain Third-Party List. You may have the right to request a list of specific third parties to which we have disclosed personal information.
What Rights Apply
As mentioned above, depending on where you reside or are located, you may be able to assert certain rights with respect to your personal information. To determine which rights you have, please refer to the table below that references the rights as described above in the Privacy Rights Section. Please note, however, that most state consumer privacy laws exempt from their scope entities like SEIA that are considered “financial institutions” under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). For states that do not provide entity-level exemptions under GLBA, the state privacy rights apply only to information other than “non-public personal information” as defined under GLBA. This is, generally speaking, personal information collected by SEIA prior to your request for products or services from us.
| State of Residence | Applicable Rights |
| California | (a-g) |
| Connecticut, Montana, and Oregon | (a-h) |
| Maryland and Minnesota | (a-i) |
Submitting a Rights Request
If you are a resident in a state that provides the rights noted above, you can assert your privacy rights by emailing us at operations@seia.com with the subject line “Privacy Rights Request” advising us which privacy rights you would like to exercise. Depending on your state of residency, applicable law may limit how many times per year you may submit a Right to Know/Access. We may charge a reasonable fee for multiple requests in the same 12-month period, as permitted by law.
To protect your privacy, we must be able to verify your identity to confirm that the rights request came from you. We may contact you by phone or e-mail to verify your request before we can process your request to exercise certain privacy rights. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, address, e-mail address or a phone number you have used with us. For certain requests, we may also ask you to provide details about your most recent purchases.
Where permitted by applicable law, you may use an authorized agent to submit a rights request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, we will require you to verify your identity with us, or have you confirm the authorized agent is authorized to act on your behalf.
Opting-out of Tracking Technologies based Sales and Targeted Advertising
You may exercise your right to opt out of sales and targeted advertising via Tracking Technologies at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the website footer and following the directions in the Preferences pop-up screen regarding how to opt-out of sales and targeted advertising.
Where required by applicable law, we will also honor browser-based opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Please note that your opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Sites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of targeted advertising request on each device and browser you use to visit our Sites to completely opt-out using this method. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out.
