Privacy Policy

Effective March 27, 2024

Monograph Wealth Advisors, LLC (“Monograph”) is committed to safeguarding the use of clients’ personal information that is made available to us as their investment adviser. Monograph and its affiliates (referred to as "we", "our" and "us" throughout this notice) protect the security and confidentiality of the personal information we have and make efforts to ensure that such information is used for proper business purposes in connection with the management or servicing of client accounts.

Our relationship with clients is our most important asset. We understand that clients have entrusted us with their private information, and we do everything we can to maintain that trust. Monograph does not sell their non-public personal information to anyone, nor do we provide such information to others except for discrete and proper business purposes in connection with the servicing and management of clients’ account as discussed below. Our approach to privacy and the collection and use of clients’ personal non-public information are set forth in this privacy policy.

PRIVACY POLICY BACKGROUND

Monograph Wealth Advisors, LLC is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registered investment advisor and has developed this policy as required by SEC Regulation S-P and the U.S. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Regulation S-P and the U.S. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 require Monograph to implement policies and procedures to protect the non-public personal information of clients that Monograph collects in the normal course of conducting its business, and that Monograph shall provide a notice to such persons that describes our privacy policy.

Regulation S-ID requires our firm to have an Identity Theft Protection Program (ITPP) that controls reasonably foreseeable risks to clients or to the safety and soundness of our firm from identity theft. We have developed an ITPP to adequately identify and detect potential red flags to prevent and mitigate identity theft.

In addition, clients’ non-public personal information may also be disclosed to persons we believe to be their authorized agent(s), representative(s), or regulators in order to satisfy Monograph’s regulatory obligation, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. Lastly, we may disclose clients’ non-public personal information to companies we hire to help administer our business. Companies we hire to provide services of this kind are not allowed to use clients’ personal information for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality. We limit their use of clients’ personal information to the performance of the specific service we have requested. Clients have the right to opt out of the sharing of their non-public personal information to non-affiliated parties and may do so via their designated support channels or by contacting Monograph’s Chief Compliance Officer at 310.496.7377.
