In complying with these laws, it is important that Wiffen Financial Services
Inc. provide you with information so that you may fully understand the
purposes for which your personal information is collected.
Over the course of your relationship with Wiffen Financial Services

collected in order to administer your mutual fund account. This information
typically includes your financial information and investment objectives,
in addition to your current investments, banking information and your

to the buying and selling of mutual funds on your behalf, in addition
to providing you with reporting and the administration of your account
in a compliant and regulatory manner.
At times, Wiffen Financial Services Inc. may be required to provide
this information to mutual fund companies in which you invest, self-regulatory
organizations, securities regulators, law enforcement agencies and to
companies that perform services on our behalf, such as DMR or Mortgage
Intelligence. These organizations, like Wiffen Financial Services Inc.
are bound and must comply with the same federal/provincial privacy act(s).
Wiffen Financial Services Inc. does not disclose your information
to any other organization(s) to use for their own purposes and in particular
