What we do
How does LNW protect my personal information?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.
How does LNW collect my personal information?
We collect your personal information, for example, when you
- Open an account or seek advice about your trust, investments and/or services with LNW;
- Give us your income information and your contact information; and/or
- Tell us about your trust, investment or retirement portfolio.
We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

State laws and individual companies give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below for more on your rights under state law.
