At Dunham Trust Company, protecting the confidentiality and security of clients’ information has always been an important part of our customer service and business practices. We want to assure you that we are committed to safeguarding your privacy while assisting you in achieving your financial goals. Our business has developed its own privacy policy to reinforce this commitment and to address the concerns of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which requires each member of the financial services industry to communicate its privacy policy to consumers and existing clients. This Privacy Policy brochure describes how we safeguard the information of our clients.
Our policy covers all of the Dunham & Associates companies including Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc., Dunham Trust Company, and other related entities. If you have any questions regarding privacy and your account(s), call us toll free at (800) 442-4358.

Dunham Trust Company uses personal information collected about you to provide you with the superior service you have come to expect from us. We may use this information in order to develop, offer, and deliver products and services, to process transactions in your account, to respond to inquiries from you or your representative, or to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. We do not share clients’ personal information with other companies for marketing purposes.
Dunham Trust Company may receive non-public personal information from you, your representative or from any of the following sources:
· From your applications or forms (for example, name, address, Social Security number, birth date, assets, and income)
· From transactional activity in your account (for example, trading history and balances)

Dunham Trust Company considers privacy, security, and service to be just as critical in the online environment as in the rest of our operations. We therefore employ all of the safeguards previously described while conducting business over the Internet.
In addition, Dunham Trust Company uses a variety of protections to maintain the security of your online session. For example, no one has access to your proprietary data online without the use of a personalized password and the corresponding account number.
When we conduct business online, we may collect technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our websites. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues, or it may be analyzed to improve our Web design and functionality. We do not share email addresses with other companies for marketing purposes.
Dunham Trust Company has always considered the protection of sensitive information to be a sound business practice and a foundation of client trust. We maintain information protection controls in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we regularly adapt these physical, electronic, and procedural controls to respond to changing requirements and advances in technology.
Within the Dunham & Associates companies and among our service providers, we restrict access to information to those who require that access in order to provide products and services to you.
We may share the personal information that we receive about our clients, prospects, or former clients with their broker/dealers, with their representatives or with the following types of entities:
· Affiliates, including affiliated service providers (for example, Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. back office, investment advisory and other services for Dunham Trust Company)
· Unaffiliated service providers (for example, accounting firms that prepare tax reporting information and banks that handle wire transfers)
· Government agencies and law enforcement officials (for example, for tax reporting or in response to subpoenas)
· Other organizations, as permitted by the laws that protect your privacy (such as for fraud prevention)
· Other organizations, with your consent or as directed by your representative (for example, if you request personalized performance reporting)
Dunham Trust Company may work with other companies to service your account. You will receive separate information regarding privacy policies from these other companies if they service your account.
We are proud of our privacy and confidentiality practices, and we want you to know how we work with all of our companies in order to protect your information and to use your information to service your account.
