Such information may include personal financial and account information, information relating to services performed for or transactions entered into on behalf of clients, advice provided by the Firm to clients, and data or analyses derived from such NPI.
SEC Regulation S-AM requires SEC investment advisers and other SEC regulated entities, to the extent relevant, to implement limitations on the Firm’s use of certain consumer information received from an affiliated entity to solicit that consumer for marketing purposes. Regulation S-AM also provides for notice and opt-out procedures, among other things.

Safeguards
The Firm maintains safeguards in order to comply with federal and state standards to guard each client’s non-public personal information(“NPI”), and the Firm does not share NPI with any non-affiliated third parties, except in the following circumstances:
1. As necessary to provide the service that the client has requested or authorized and to maintain and service the client’s account;
2. As required by regulatory authorities or law enforcement officials who have jurisdiction over the Firm or as otherwise required by law; and
3. To the extent reasonably necessary to prevent fraud or unauthorized transactions.
Employees
Employees, both during and after the termination of their employment with the Firm, are prohibited, from disclosing NPI to any person or entity outside of the Firm, including family members, except under the circumstances described above. An employee is permitted to disclose NPI only to other employees who need access to such information in order for the Firm to service the client.
Any Tao Private Wealth, LLC employee who is authorized to have access to NPI is required to secure all such information. To this end, all electronic or computer files containing NPI shall be password secured and firewall protected from access by unauthorized persons. Any conversations in which NPI must be discussed must be conducted by employees in private, and care must be taken to avoid any unauthorized person from overhearing or intercepting such conversations.
Safeguarding standards encompass all aspects of the Firm that affect security. This includes not just computer security standards but also such areas as physical security and personnel procedures. Examples of important safeguarding standards that the Firm has adopted include the following:
1. Access controls for client information systems, including controls to authenticate and permit access only to authorized individuals and controls to prevent employees from providing client information to unauthorized individuals who may seek to obtain this information through fraudulent means (for example, requiring employee use of User ID numbers and passwords.)
2. Access restrictions and intruder detection devices at physical locations containing client information, such as branch offices, computer and record storage facilities.
3. Encryption or password protection of electronic client information, including while in transit or while stored on networks or systems to which unauthorized individuals may have access;
4. Monitoring systems and procedures to detect actual or attempted attacks or intrusions into client information systems (for example, monitoring of data for detection of loss, accidental or intentional manipulation);
5. Response programs that specify actions to be taken when the firm suspects or detects that unauthorized individuals have gained access to client information systems, including appropriate reports to regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
6. Measures to protect against destruction, loss, or damage to client information due to potential environmental hazards, such as fire and water damage, or technological failures (for example, making use of fire resistant storage facilities and vaults; backing-up and storing key data offsite to ensure proper recovery);
Any employee who is authorized to possess “consumer report information” for a business purpose is required to take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to the information.
The Firm has determined that when NPI or other confidential client information is to be disposed of, a professional document destruction company will be utilized. Physical documents will be securely shredded, and electronic information will be destroyed using whatever methods are currently industry standard.
