Privacy Policy
The Olstein Funds has adopted the following privacy policy covering its customers.
The Olstein Funds recognizes and respects your privacy expectations. We are providing our privacy policy to you as notice of the kinds of information we collect about you and the circumstances in which that information may be disclosed.
We collect the following nonpublic personal information about you:
· Information we receive from you on or in applications or other forms, correspondence, or conversations, including, but not limited to, your name, address, phone number, social security number, assets, income and date of birth; and
· Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, including, but not limited to, your account number and balance, payments history, parties to transactions, cost basis information, and other financial information.
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our current or former shareholders to nonaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law –for example, sharing information with those companies essential for us to provide shareholders with necessary or useful services with respect to their accounts. For example, we are permitted by law to disclose all of the information we collect, as described above, to our transfer agent to process your transactions. Furthermore, we restrict access to your nonpublic personal information to those persons who require such information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
In the event that you hold shares of the fund through a financial intermediary, including, but not limited to, a broker-dealer, bank, or trust company, the privacy policy of your financial intermediary would govern how your nonpublic personal information would be shared with nonaffiliated third parties.
As a prospective shareholder, submitting your name and address to receive Fund information does not subject you to this policy but we will only use your name and address to send you the information you have requested. However, this policy does apply to the Fund's current and former shareholders. Therefore, once you submit a completed purchase application and initial investment (in good form), the nonpublic personal information we collect about you by way of an account application or other account forms (as described above) will be subject to this privacy policy.
Any questions concerning the above information can be directed to us by contacting shareholder service at (800) 799–2113, or sending us an email at info@olsteinfunds.com.
