PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: August 15, 2026
ETHAN & JR FINANCIAL GROUP LLC
Private Strategic Office
United States
ETHAN & JR FINANCIAL GROUP LLC (“ETHAN & JR,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) recognizes privacy, confidentiality, information security, and institutional trust as fundamental obligations.
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, protection, retention, disclosure, and handling of information submitted to or obtained through ethanjrfinancialgroup.org and related digital properties operated by ETHAN & JR.
Our website is designed to serve individuals, business owners, executives, institutions, organizations, and other sophisticated stakeholders. Certain engagements may involve commercially sensitive, confidential, financial, operational, strategic, personal, or otherwise sensitive information.
ETHAN & JR therefore applies a heightened standard of confidentiality and information protection to information entrusted to us.
We collect and process information only for legitimate, authorized, and reasonably necessary purposes.
We do not sell personal information.
We do not rent personal information.
We do not trade personal information.
We do not intentionally disclose confidential client information for advertising purposes.
We do not permit unauthorized persons to access, collect, extract, scrape, copy, intercept, use, disclose, reproduce, or otherwise obtain information maintained by or on behalf of ETHAN & JR.
1. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
Depending upon how you interact with our website or services, information may include:
Personal Information
Name, professional title, organization, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and other information voluntarily submitted through forms, inquiries, applications, or communications.
Business and Organizational Information
Information relating to an organization, business, institution, project, operational matter, strategic inquiry, service request, engagement, or other business activity.
Confidential Information
Information voluntarily provided to ETHAN & JR for purposes of evaluating, discussing, preparing, or performing an engagement.
Such information may include commercially sensitive information, operational information, strategic information, financial information, organizational information, documents, communications, or other information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential.
Technical Information
IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring pages, approximate usage information, security logs, and other technical information reasonably necessary for website security, reliability, fraud prevention, and performance.
Payment Information
Where payment functionality is used, payment information may be processed by authorized third-party payment providers. ETHAN & JR does not intentionally retain complete payment-card information when such information can be processed securely through the applicable payment provider.
2. INFORMATION MINIMIZATION
ETHAN & JR follows a principle of collecting only information reasonably necessary for legitimate business, operational, security, legal, or service purposes.
We do not intentionally request sensitive information merely because it is available.
Where information is not reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, ETHAN & JR may decline to collect it, restrict its use, or securely delete or de-identify it when appropriate.
3. PURPOSE OF INFORMATION USE
Information may be used only for legitimate and authorized purposes, including:
• Responding to inquiries and requests.
• Evaluating potential engagements.
• Providing requested services.
• Communicating with clients, prospective clients, vendors, and authorized representatives.
• Processing authorized transactions.
• Maintaining business records.
• Protecting website systems and information.
• Detecting, preventing, and investigating unauthorized activity.
• Maintaining operational integrity.
• Meeting applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, and compliance obligations.
• Establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights.
• Improving website functionality, security, and reliability.
ETHAN & JR does not use confidential information for unrelated purposes without authorization or another lawful basis.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY OF CLIENT AND PROSPECTIVE CLIENT INFORMATION
Information voluntarily submitted in connection with an actual or prospective engagement will be treated with appropriate confidentiality based upon the nature and circumstances of the information.
ETHAN & JR recognizes that a prospective client may disclose sensitive information before an engagement is formally established.
Accordingly, prospective clients should not assume that submission of information through a public website creates an attorney-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, financial-advisor relationship, or other legally protected professional relationship unless a separate written agreement establishes such a relationship.
Where a formal engagement agreement, confidentiality agreement, nondisclosure agreement, data-processing agreement, or other written agreement provides stronger or more specific protections, that agreement will govern to the extent applicable.
5. STRICT PROHIBITION ON UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR COLLECTION
Unauthorized access to ETHAN & JR systems, information, communications, records, accounts, files, databases, digital properties, or client information is strictly prohibited.
Without authorization, no person or organization may:
• Access or attempt to access restricted systems.
• Circumvent authentication or security controls.
• Collect or extract information.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, or systematically retrieve protected information.
• Intercept communications.
• Monitor activity without authorization.
• Use automated tools to obtain restricted information.
• Reverse engineer protected systems for unauthorized purposes.
• Disclose, sell, transfer, publish, or exploit confidential information.
• Attempt to obtain information belonging to a client, prospective client, employee, vendor, or other authorized party.
ETHAN & JR reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law against unauthorized activity.
Where legally appropriate, unauthorized activity may result in suspension or termination of access, preservation of evidence, investigation, notification to affected parties, referral to law enforcement or regulatory authorities, and pursuit of civil or other legal remedies, including injunctive relief and damages where available.
6. ACCESS CONTROL AND INTERNAL CONFIDENTIALITY
Access to information is restricted according to legitimate business necessity.
Personnel, contractors, service providers, and other authorized parties may receive access only to information reasonably necessary for their assigned responsibilities.
Access may be monitored, reviewed, modified, or revoked at any time when reasonably necessary to protect information or systems.
ETHAN & JR does not authorize unrestricted internal access to confidential information merely because a person is associated with the organization.
7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
ETHAN & JR may use carefully selected third-party providers for services such as:
• Website hosting.
• Infrastructure and security.
• Payment processing.
• Email and communications.
• Analytics and performance services.
• Document or operational services.
• Technology and software services.
Third-party providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their authorized functions.
Where appropriate, ETHAN & JR may require contractual confidentiality, security, privacy, access-control, retention, deletion, or incident-notification obligations.
Third-party providers are not authorized to use ETHAN & JR confidential information for independent purposes inconsistent with the applicable engagement, agreement, or lawful instructions.
8. GOVERNMENT AND LEGAL REQUESTS
ETHAN & JR may disclose information when required to do so by applicable law, valid legal process, court order, subpoena, warrant, regulatory requirement, or other legally enforceable obligation.
Where legally permissible and reasonably appropriate, ETHAN & JR may seek to limit, challenge, or narrow an overly broad request.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy prevents ETHAN & JR from complying with lawful governmental, judicial, regulatory, or law-enforcement requirements.
9. SECURITY
ETHAN & JR maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, acquisition, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or other misuse.
Security measures may include, as appropriate:
• Access controls.

• Least-privilege principles.
• Encryption or other appropriate safeguards.
• Secure transmission practices.
• System monitoring and logging.
• Vendor security requirements.
• Device and account security controls.
• Data-retention controls.
• Secure deletion or destruction.
• Incident-response procedures.
• Periodic review of security practices.
No system connected to the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
However, ETHAN & JR treats information security as an ongoing operational responsibility rather than a one-time technical implementation.
10. SECURITY INCIDENTS AND DATA BREACHES
If ETHAN & JR determines that a security incident has occurred involving protected information, we will evaluate the incident and take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances.
Such measures may include:
• Containing the incident.

• Investigating the scope and nature of the incident.
• Preserving relevant evidence.
• Assessing affected information.
• Remediating vulnerabilities.
• Engaging appropriate security or legal professionals.
• Providing notifications when required by applicable law or contractual obligation.

11. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
The website may use limited cookies, technical technologies, analytics, or similar mechanisms for legitimate purposes such as:

• Improving user experience.
ETHAN & JR does not authorize analytics or advertising technologies to use confidential client information for unrelated purposes.
Users may be able to control certain cookies through their browser or applicable website settings.
12. DATA RETENTION
ETHAN & JR retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate business requirements, contractual obligations, security requirements, dispute resolution, legal obligations, regulatory requirements, or other lawful purposes.
When information is no longer reasonably required, ETHAN & JR may securely delete, destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to applicable retention obligations.
13. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The website and services are not directed toward children under 18.
ETHAN & JR does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 through this website.
If we become aware that personal information has been submitted by a child in circumstances where collection is not legally permitted, we may take reasonable steps to delete the information.
14. INTERNATIONAL USERS
ETHAN & JR is based in the United States.
Individuals accessing the website from outside the United States acknowledge that information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where ETHAN & JR or its authorized service providers operate, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Where applicable law provides additional privacy rights, ETHAN & JR will process such requests consistent with those requirements.
15. PRIVACY RIGHTS AND REQUESTS
Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning their personal information, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or other legally recognized forms of control.
Requests should be submitted through the official contact information provided below.
ETHAN & JR may need to verify the identity and authority of a requester before responding to a privacy or information request.
This verification process exists to protect the individual whose information is involved and to prevent unauthorized disclosure.
16. NO SALE OR UNAUTHORIZED COMMERCIALIZATION OF INFORMATION
ETHAN & JR does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
We do not authorize the commercialization of confidential client information.
We do not intentionally permit third parties to use confidential client information for their own advertising, solicitation, profiling, or unrelated commercial purposes.
17. PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT-RELATED INFORMATION
Where a client, prospective client, institution, enterprise, government organization, public official, executive, or authorized representative voluntarily provides information concerning sensitive organizational, operational, governmental, commercial, or strategic matters, ETHAN & JR will handle that information according to its applicable confidentiality, security, contractual, and legal obligations.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy authorizes ETHAN & JR to disclose classified information, controlled information, protected government information, or information subject to special handling requirements unless such disclosure is legally authorized.
Individuals and organizations should not submit classified, export-controlled, privileged, or otherwise specially protected information through a general website form unless ETHAN & JR has expressly instructed them to do so through an appropriate secure channel.
18. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
This website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
ETHAN & JR is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of independent third-party websites.
Users should review the privacy policies and security practices of third-party services before submitting information to them.
19. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
ETHAN & JR may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, business operations, security practices, or services.
The updated version will be posted on this website with a revised effective date.
Material changes may be communicated through additional means when required by applicable law.
20. GOVERNING PRINCIPLE
ETHAN & JR operates on the principle that information entrusted to an organization creates responsibility.
Privacy is not treated as a marketing statement.
Confidentiality is not treated as a convenience.
Security is not treated as an optional feature.
Information entrusted to ETHAN & JR is handled with disciplined consideration of necessity, authorization, access, purpose, security, retention, and lawful use.
