California Privacy Policy

For AssetMark, Inc., AssetMark Trust Company, AssetMark Retirement Services, Inc. and AssetMark Brokerage, LLC

Information for California Residents

AssetMark, Inc., AssetMark Trust Company, AssetMark Retirement Services, Inc. and AssetMark Brokerage, LLC (collectively, “AssetMark,” also referred to as “we” and “us”) collect personal information (“PI”) for a variety of reasons, as detailed in this Policy.

As a California resident, you have additional rights over the PI that we collect about you that is not already protected by existing federal privacy laws. This is your “California Personal Information”. This California Privacy Policy describes the PI, including the California Personal Information, that AssetMark collects about you, the rights you may have with respect to the California Personal Information, and how you can exercise those rights.

Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose what California Personal Information we collect, use, disclose and sell. PLEASE NOTE: AssetMark does not sell your personal information.

The following table lists the categories of PI we may have collected about you in the last 12 months and other important information. Some of this PI may be deemed California Personal Information, to which you have additional rights.

Right to Request Deletion of California Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete California Personal Information that we have collected from you.

Instructions for Submitting a Request to Know or a Request to Delete

You may submit a request to know or delete California Personal Information by calling (833) 620-0416 (toll free), or by completing the interactive web form.

Before we can grant your request to know or delete California Personal Information, we are required to verify your identity. Our verification process depends on whether you maintain a password-protected account with us, and what type of request you are making.

If you maintain a password-protected account with us:

We will verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account. We also will require you to re-authenticate yourself before we will disclose or delete your California Personal Information. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity on or from your password-protected account, we may use additional procedures to verify your identity.

If you do not maintain a password-protected account with us:

If you submit a request to know categories of California Personal Information that we have collected about you, we will match at least two pieces of personal information provided by you with personal information maintained by us, which we have determined are reliable for the purpose of verifying your identity. In some instances, there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the consumer to the degree required. This is the case, for example, if you visit our website but do not log into your account. In that circumstance, we collect your IP address and may also collect a unique identifier for your device, but we do not associate this information with any named actual person or account.
If you submit a request to know specific pieces of California Personal Information that we have collected about you, we will match at least three pieces of personal information provided by you with personal information maintained by us, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury from you stating that you are the individual whose personal information is the subject of the request.
If you submit a request to delete California Personal Information, the manner in which we will verify your identity will depend on the sensitivity of the California Personal Information and the risk of harm to the individual by its unauthorized deletion. If the California Personal Information is not sensitive, we will match at least two pieces of personal information provided by you with personal information maintained by us, which we have determined are reliable. If the California Personal Information is sensitive, we will match at least three pieces of personal information provided by you with personal information maintained by us, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose California Personal Information is the subject of the request.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. You have the right to authorize another person to submit a request to know your personal information or to delete your personal information. To have another person submit a request on your behalf, you or they may call us at (833) 620-0416 (toll free) or complete the interactive web form. You will need to provide us with written permission authorizing the other person to submit a request to know or delete on your behalf. We will give you instructions on how to send the written authorization to us. We will still verify your identity and will verify that you have given your authority to another person.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Your PI

Where a business sells your PI, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of that information. PLEASE NOTE: AssetMark has not sold and does not sell your PI. Additionally, AssetMark does not have actual knowledge that it sells the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Right

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment from us because you have exercised your privacy rights. This means that you have the right not to be denied goods or services, or charged different prices, just because you have exercised your privacy rights.
