For example, Nezu Asia may provide a Client’s Information to its affiliates or related companies and to firms that assist Nezu Asia in servicing Client accounts and have a need for such Information, such as a broker or fund administrator.

Nezu Asia uses reasonable best efforts to ensure that any persons or institutions to which it discloses Information will protect the confidentiality of that Information and only use such Information for the intended purposes for which it was disclosed.

These sharing practices are consistent with applicable privacy and related laws, and in general, Clients may not limit Nezu Asia’s use of Information for these purposes under such laws. The applicable privacy laws only give Clients the right to limit the certain types of information sharing that Nezu Asia does not engage in (e.g., sharing with our affiliates and/or related companies certain information relating to your transaction history or creditworthiness for their use in marketing to you, or sharing any Information with non-affiliates for them to market to you).
