Privacy Policy Notice
Angel Oak firmly believes that our clients are entitled to the very best service we can offer – and that includes the right to feel comfortable about the personal nonpublic information you share with us. We respect every individual’s right to privacy. We understand the importance you place on the privacy and security of information that personally identifies you or your account information.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has implemented Regulation S-P, which relates to the privacy of consumer financial information, and has established rules in response to Section 504 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Regulation S-P and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act limit investment companies, broker-dealers, and registered investment advisers in their disclosure of consumers’ and customers’ nonpublic personal information. Regulation S-P also requires that financial institutions provide privacy notices in various instances and to adopt policies and procedures to protect the personal information of its customers. This statement describes our firm’s privacy policy and how we handle your personal information. This policy applies to former, current, and prospective customers, as well as business partners and website visitors.
This notice is intended to tell you where we obtain information about you, how we use that information and who has access to the information. This notice applies to and includes all subsidiaries, parent or sister companies, limited liability companies, partnerships, or other entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Angel Oak.
Why and How We Collect Personal Information
We are required by guidelines of our industry to obtain personal information about you while providing investment solutions to you. We use this information to manage your account, direct transactions, and provide you with valuable information. We collect this information mainly from documents you provide to us through forms, personal interaction, and contract negotiations. Angel Oak will never collect more of your personal nonpublic information than intended to manage, support, and service your account. The information includes your name, address, telephone number, internet or network activity when visiting our website, social security number, transactional and financial information, as well as other personal nonpublic information we need to service your account.

How We Protect the Confidentiality of Your Personal Information
The security of your personal information is important to us. Angel Oak has developed and implemented technical, organizational and administrative security measures to protect your personal nonpublic information. Angel Oak does not provide, for sale or otherwise, personal information about you to outside firms, organizations, or individuals except as required by law or as requested by you.

There are times when we distribute information about your account to regulators, financial institutions, and service providers electronically which could include transmitting information via email or by other means over unsecure networks.
We use your personal information in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which we originally requested it. For example, we will use the information you give us to process your requests for transactions, to meet regulatory requirements, to provide you with additional information about products and services, or to share information with you about your account. We may also be required to share information by law due to a subpoena, court order, or regulatory requirements. At all times, we will limit the collection and use of personal information to that which is necessary to administer our business and to deliver the best possible service to you. We will retain your personal information for as long as it is necessary to deliver the best possible service to you, unless regulatory requirements require us to retain it for a longer period of time.
