(c) Zelos shall only collect client information by lawful means and only to the extent required to satisfy the purpose for which the information is being collected was identified.

Consent
The form of consent sought by the Firm may vary, depending upon the circumstances and the type o finformation. In determining the form of consent to use, Zelos shall take into account the sensitivity of the information.
Zelos should generally seek express consent when the information is likely to be considered sensitive.

(b) Zelos shall make available to clients copies of the policies and practices that apply to the management of investor information by Zelos.
(c) Upon request and unless prohibited by law, securities regulation, or the regulations of a self-regulatory organization, clients will be given access to their information and shall be informed of any use made of the information or disclosure of the information to any third parties.

Protecting Personal Information
(a) All client information under the control of Zelos shall be kept confidential except where disclosure is required by law, securities regulation, or the regulations of a self-regulatory organization.
(b) Zelos shall only retain the information collected for so long as is required to satisfy the purpose identified or as required by law, securities regulation, or the regulations of a self-regulatory organization.
