What Information About You Do We Collect?
When You visit the Platform, You may provide Us with two (2) types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that You knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as You utilize the Platform. In some cases, if You choose not to provide Us with requested information, You may not be able to access all of the Platform’s content or services.
Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide
We may ask for certain personal information from You for the purpose of providing You with content and/or services that You request. We may retain a record of users who have contacted Us in order to respond properly to questions or concerns and for purposes of future communications.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
Cookies/Web server logs: similar to other websites, the Platform utilizes standard technology called “cookies” and web server logs to collect information about how the Platform is used. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a given website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Platform, and the websites visited just before and just after access or use of the Platform. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with You as an individual.
You can, of course, disable cookies on Your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in Your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of the Platform will not operate correctly if You disable cookies. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if You have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
We use Your personally identifiable information to provide You with the information, services, or content that You have requested and, in some cases, to contact You about Our programs, products, features, or services. If You no longer wish to receive press releases or any other type of information from Us, You may send Us an email through the Platform’s “Contact Us” link or use Our E-mail Alert form to change Your preferences.
We use non-identifying information collected on the Platform in the aggregate to better understand general usage of the Platform and to enhance Your enjoyment and experience. For example, We may use the information to improve the design and content of the Platform or to analyze the programs or services We offer.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on Our behalf. Our employees, agents, and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may provide access to Your personally identifiable information, and that of Parties in Interest, when legally required to do so, to cooperate with investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Platform, to limit Our legal liability and to protect Our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to the Platform or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose.
We will not share Your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated to those described above without providing You with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Additionally, We use services that help Us to understand Our visitors; for example, how visitors find Our website, how long they spend on Our site, which web pages they are most interested in, etc. We use such services to better understand how visitors interact with Our website, troubleshoot software issues, and help Us improve Our site’s content, design, and functionality, resulting in a better online experience for Our visitors. No personally identifiable information is collected in connection with the preceding, and We do not sell the foregoing data.
Cookies and other technologies may be used to collect visit usage data and activity on Our website. This data includes:
Furthermore, a cookie may be placed in Your browser when You visit Our website. You can learn more about cookies from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie and refuse cookies through Your system’s settings.
What Your Information Will Not Be Used For
We will never sell the information You provide to Us, nor shall We make said information available for any other commercial purpose.
Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
Protecting children’s privacy is important to Us. For that reason, We do not collect or maintain information on the Platform from those We actually know are under the age of thirteen (13), nor is any part of the Platform targeted to attract anyone under the age of thirteen (13). Should We discover that a person under the age of thirteen (13) has provided Us with personally identifiable information, We will delete that individual’s personally identifiable information from Our records.
Government Required Customer Identification Program
Government required anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws require all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person creating a trust without exception. As such, Your personal information may be used to verify Your identity and/or the identity of the beneficiary(ies) in accordance with Our Customer Identification Program, and some or all of that information may be shared with third parties, to the extent necessary to perform such tasks, and may be reported to government agencies to fulfill required government reporting.
What Types of Information Will You Need to Provide?
When You open an Account, You are required to provide at a minimum the following information: (i) name; (ii) date of birth; (iii) address; (iv) identification number(s). Identification number(s) means a taxpayer identification number, passport number, alien identification card number, or government issued identification showing nationality, residence, and a photograph of You.
What Happens If You Don’t Provide the Information Requested or Your Identity Can’t Be Verified?
We may not be able to open an account or carry out transactions for You. If We have already opened an Account for You, We may close it.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of personally identifiable information that We collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to Our database servers, as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized access and employing data encryption. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that You transmit to Us, so You do so at Your own risk.
Security
From the moment You access the Portal, all communication between Our servers and Your computer is encrypted using AES-256 (256-bit AES) Secure Socket Layer encryption (“AES”), regularly referred to as the "gold standard" encryption technique.
We enforce password strength policies and only allow for verified secure retrieval of Your user account details should You not remember your password. Once You’ve signed into the system and are running Our application under AES, all the data You enter is stored on a SQL Server running NT Authentication policies. This means that only authenticated registered users can access the data.
Links
The Platform may contain links to third-party sites. Please be aware that We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites. Therefore, We encourage You and all Parties in Interest to read the privacy policy of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Platform.
Electronic Transmittal of Information
You, or Parties in Interest may need to electronically transmit confidential information to each other and to other entities engaged by EPG, You, or Parties in Interest. E-mail is a fast and convenient way to communicate. However, e-mail is not necessarily a secure means of communication and thus confidentiality could be compromised. You and all Parties in Interest agree to the use of e-mail and other electronic methods to transmit and receive information, including confidential information, between EPG, You, or any Party in Interest and between EPG and third-party service providers or other entities engaged by either EPG, You, or any Party in Interest and further acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is commercially reasonable and has been fully disclosed to You and all Parties in Interest.
As encrypted emails may be recalled, deleted, or have future access blocked compromising governmental and EPG data creation and data retention requirements, You and the Parties in Interest agree that encrypted emails are not a viable option, that there are more secure alternate methods of transmission, and You and all Parties in Interest do hereby waive any past or future claims at law or in equity arising from the non-use of encrypted emails.
Non-Disclosure
Except to the degree such information regarding a client, trust or account is in the public domain, EPG shall not divulge or indicate directly or indirectly any information regarding its clients or any other information that would confirm or deny the existence of a trust or account to a third party, including but not limited to a court for any matter unrelated to a client, trust or account, without the associated client’s express written authorization except as provided for herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under these terms, EPG may, without additional authorization by the client, divulge, to the extent necessary, such information related to (i) preparation and filing of tax reporting and, but only to the extent such information is directly related to the specific client/account to which the underlying matter is related; (vii) providing information to another financial institution or party to facilitate the payment or receipt of funds; or (viii) providing information to persons authorized as the legal agent of a client, trust or account when said party is acting on behalf of a client. Additionally, EPG may, without additional written authorization, disclose client information to the extent necessary to (i) enable affected persons or appropriate authorities to prevent the client from committing a crime or fraud; or (ii) report to governmental authorities and affected persons a crime or fraud.
Because of EPG’s commitment to client privacy as well as EPG’s duty under applicable laws and regulations, EPG will not provide or release to any other third party, including a third-party Party(ies) in Interest any personal client, account, or trust information requested in a subpoena, discovery process, investigation, or negotiation to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law absent the unanimous written consent of all Beneficiaries or Claimants (as the case may be) and the foregoing heirs prior to providing or releasing such information or documents. Additionally, EPG will not provide or release to anyone outside EPG any information including, but not limited to, EPG’s Foreground IP, business processes, patented materials, trade secrets, business interests, security procedures, discretionary processes or other such proprietary information or otherwise that is not relevant to the specific transaction(s) and/or Account in question. Finally, all costs associated with the production of said information or documents shall be borne by the requesting party and shall not, in any event, be borne by the Account and/or Us or Our Affiliates.
Importantly, the Security Procedures agreed upon within each Account constitute a private operational process for each individual Account. As such, EPG will not disclose, produce documents, or discuss any general Security Procedures or the specific Security Procedures with any third party not related to such Account or any other Account. As such, the Security Procedures of other Accounts are beyond the scope of discovery, subpoenas, investigations, negotiations, or other such evidence-gathering mechanisms or processes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EPG will release such information as necessary to comply with final court orders.
Requests for Public Inspection of Governmental Records and Documents
The Parties in Interest waive all Claims and Agree that the Platform data, applications, Documents, other outputs, Our Trade Secret proprietary systems, including Our Platform and Services, constitute in part Our Trade Secrets and Collective Intellectual Property. Further, said Platform and Services' data, applications and Documents, and other outputs held therein (i) are solely in Our custody and are not in any other Person’s or Entity's custody; (ii) were created by Us and no other Person or Entity; (iii) are the titled property of the underlying Account, Beneficiaries, or Claimants, as the case may be; and (iv) no other Person, Entity, or governmental authority holds the authorship, title, possession, custody or ownership of the foregoing.
Moreover, the Platform and Services functions and outputs generated therein are not a custodial transfer of any Documents on behalf of any other party, and the Documents and information related to the underlying Account, Beneficiaries, or Claimants, as the case may be, are in Our sole safekeeping and were not prepared or owned by, or in the possession of any public body or its officers, employees, or Agents in the transaction of public business.
Consistent with the terms of said Accounts and the applicable state and federal privacy laws, The Parties in Interest waive all Claims, and Agree that it is Commercially Reasonable and a necessary duty under these terms to safeguard information from abusive, frivolous and malicious actions and prevent access by third parties with no standing (i) to preserve and protect the privacy of the underlying Beneficiaries or Claimants and any other related Person; (ii) to safeguard Account information, Documents and design from financial or other misuse from parties with no beneficial or legal standing; (iii) to protect and prevent the misappropriation of Our Trade Secrets and Collective Intellectual Property; (iv) the general nature, construction, provisions and proprietary design are such that redaction of limited items is not viable to fully protect the underlying Beneficiaries or Claimants and another related person, or Us from misuse; (v) to protect and prevent the misappropriation of tax information and related financial information from misuse; and (vi) such request of parties with no standing constitutes a frivolous action solely designed to harass and is in breach of the Quiet Enjoyment provision. Thus, the Parties in Interest waive all Claims and Agree that safeguarding access to Account Documents, data, and Our Trade Secrets and Collective Intellectual Property is Commercially Reasonable and necessary.
This provision is consistent with the Freedom of Information Act (and all applicable equivalent state statutes) and the applicable Trust Codes' privacy intentions and exclusion provisions to protect proprietary Trade Secrets and Collective Intellectual Property, Account structure details, beneficial design information, and financial and personal information of underlying Beneficiaries or Claimants from potential misuse by third parties.
Furthermore, the Parties in Interest expressly Agree to the following exclusions and waive all associated rights and claims to any inspection demands by private and/or public third parties promulgated under statute, rule, or doctrine providing for the public inspection or production of governmental records and Documents and the following shall be exempt from such production and public inspection from any public entity: (i) Our Collective Intellectual Property, including but not limited to Our Trade Secrets; (ii) Any other Trade Secrets, Account information, client or Account financial records, Documents, or information created by us, owned by Us, or an Account, in Our sole possession or for which We are the titled owner; (iii) Account Documents and Account information in Our custody; and (iv) Beneficiary or Claimant information or Accounts in Our custody. We reserve all Our rights to defend and protect the privacy and proprietorship of Our Collective Intellectual Property and other Trade Secrets.

Upon Our request, whether by written notice or by subpoena as a request for the production of Documents, the Parties in Interest shall deliver to Us, without objection or delay, a copy of all Documents requested, directly or indirectly, relating to any Claim arising from the Platform and Services or Accounts, as well as Documents produced and collected relating to the same within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the request.In accordance with the preceding, and to reduce costs and disputes, the Parties in Interest, to the extent allowable by law, waive any: (i) objections, including those based on service, privacy, attorney-client work product, common-interest privilege, joint privilege, confidentiality protections of attorney-client privilege, subject matter privilege, and any other asserted or alleged claim of privilege in connection with requested Documents; (ii) motions to quash or object; or (iii) demands for production costs.
Further, the Parties in Interest Agree that a breach of the preceding shall be deemed an act of Bad Faith and an abuse of process. Further, the Parties in Interest Agree that all legal fees and costs, including Our internal costs to enforce the preceding, shall be awarded to Us in addition to any other relief deemed necessary and proper, including injunctive relief.

You and all Parties in Interest acknowledge and agree that in any construction of the terms of this Privacy Policy, the same shall not be construed against any party on the basis of that party being the drafter of such terms. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Privacy Policy against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.
Survivability and Enforceability
Any clause, provision, or section of this Privacy Policy, or any amendment hereto, shall be void if it violates applicable law. If, pursuant to the terms herein, a court of competent jurisdiction over the matter rules that any clause, provision, or section of this Privacy Policy, or any amendment hereto, is illegal or invalid, then such clause, provision, section, power, or obligation shall be deemed to be written only to the extent permitted by law, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. The provisions of this Privacy Policy shall survive any termination of Your use of the Platform, related services, or information We supply.
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
Our failure or delay in exercising any of Our rights, remedies, powers, or privileges hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of Our rights, remedies, powers, or privileges hereunder, except if so established by an executed written instrument approved by the Board of Directors. Further, any failure or delay in exercising any of Our rights, remedies, powers, or privileges hereunder shall not be deemed as Our (i) acquiescence to any default or event of default or (ii) breach of any of the terms herein. Likewise, no past or future failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on Our part of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder or under the other applicable documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges herein are cumulative, may be exercised singularly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, and privileges provided by law or by this Agreement or other agreement. For clarity, a properly executed waiver or partial waiver by Us pursuant to the terms of this Section of any right or remedy hereunder shall not be construed as a bar or waiver to any right or remedy We would otherwise have on any future occasion. Moreover, in all circumstances, We shall retain the unfettered right to enforce such rights at any time and take any and all such action(s) as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either in law or equity, including barring the actions of others based on a claim or theory of waiver, breach, or default. Finally, We reserve the right to rescind Our waiver and pursue enforcement of the previously-waived rights, remedies, powers, or privileges hereunder.
