small businesses manage their financial lives. In that effort, we respect and
protect the privacy of those who visit or use our Web sites. We want you to know
how your information is used. To demonstrate our commitment to fair information
practices, we have adopted leading industry privacy guidelines. This
privacy statement defines privacy aspects specific to the AdvisorSquare.com Web

Online Privacy Policy, which represents our general privacy philosophy and
governs all of our Web sites. The AdvisorSquare Web sites' privacy practices are
consistent and compliant with that policy. Because
of the financial nature of our business, our Web sites are not designed to
appeal to children under the age of 13. Therefore, we don't knowingly attempt to
solicit or receive any information from children. Our

we use Web technology: Here
is how and why we use some common Web technologies to help manage our Web sites: Cookies.
A "cookie" is a small piece of information that our Web site may
provide to your browser while you are at our sites. The AdvisorSquare Web sites
supply your browser with cookies that contain a unique identifier used to better
understand Web site usage in the aggregate so that we know what areas of our
site users prefer (e.g., based on the number of visits to those areas). These
cookies are not linked to the personally identifiable information that you
provide us elsewhere on the site. Web
Site Usage Data.
With or without cookies, our Web site keeps track of usage data, such as the
source address that a page request is coming from, your IP address or domain
name, the date and time of the page request, the referring Web site (if any) and
other parameters in the URL. We use this data to better understand Web site
usage in the aggregate so that we know what areas of our Web site users prefer.
This information is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and
statistical reporting. This log information is not linked to personally
identifiable information gathered elsewhere on the site. Co-branded
and Third-Party Sites.
Our co-branded sites are clearly identified by both an LiveOffice and a
partner's logo. The AdvisorSquare Web sites may provide links to third-party Web
sites, such as those of our business partners. On these sites either LiveOffice
or its partners may collect information about you. LiveOffice is not responsible
for the actions of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy
policies to learn more about what, why and how they collect and use personally
identifiable information. If
we plan to make significant changes to any of our privacy policies or practices
with respect to how we use personally identifiable information, we'll post those
changes to this privacy statement 30 days before they take effect. In
some cases we may be required to disclose certain information to comply with a
legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant. We
give you choices about how the personally identifiable information that you
provide us may be used. We
give you the opportunity to keep us from using or sharing the personally
identifiable information that you have provided to us for purposes other than to
fulfill your request. We will provide you the opportunity to opt-out of

identifiable information that you have provided to us from loss, misuse and
unauthorized alteration. Whenever you transmit sensitive information, such as a
credit card number, to us through our Web site, we provide you access to our
server that allows encryption of your data as it travels across the Internet. We

products, such as firewalls, as well as carefully developed security procedures
and practices. All employees must review and sign these practices which include
limiting access to sensitive information only to those employees who require the
information and enforcing strict password protocols for all employees. In
addition, a username and password are required for you to use, view or change
application or interview information. We use both internal and external
resources to review the adequacy of our security measures on a regular basis. We
