How We Process Opt-Out Preference Signals

An opt-out preference signal or global privacy control is a signal that is sent by an online platform or web browser that clearly communicates the consumer’s choice to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. Websites that sell or share personal information with third parties are required to recognize opt-out preference signals.

assetmark.com does not sell or share personal information collected from visitors to the website unless the visitor has affirmatively opted into accepting Marketing Cookies and has directed us to share information collected by these cookies with third parties. Therefore, assetmark.com does not recognize opt-out preference signals. If you have opted into Marketing Cookies and wish to withdraw your consent, please refer to the section How You Can Manage Cookies below.
ewealthmanager.com does not sell or share personal information collected from visitors to the website unless the visitor has affirmatively opted into accepting Targeting Cookies and has directed us to share information collected by these cookies with third parties. If you have opted into Targeting Cookies and wish to withdraw your consent, please refer to the section How You Can Manage Cookies below. ewealthmanager.com also recognizes opt-out preference signals and treats them as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. Therefore, if you have affirmatively accepted Targeting Cookies but later detect that you have enabled an opt-out preference signal or global privacy control, we will treat that signal as a request to stop sharing personal information with third parties through Targeting Cookies.

eWealthManager.com processes opt-out preference signals in a frictionless manner. You can implement an opt-out preference signal through the privacy controls available on your web browser or by downloading a browser extension that can be enabled to support your single opt-out preference signal. To learn more about how to implement opt-out preference signals and global privacy controls, please consult your browser’s privacy settings or visit Global Privacy Control.
