to limit some but not all information sharing.

behalf of Topaz Garden Trust. It describes the general policy of Topaz Garden
Trust regarding the personal information of customers and former customers.

How
Information Is Collected. All financial companies need to share
customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons
financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the
reasons Topaz Garden Trust chooses to share; and whether you can limit this
sharing. We collect your personal information, for example, when you: make a
payment, make a wire transfer, give us your contact information; pay us by
check; pay your account by wire transfer; and, provide
employment information. We also collect
your personal information from others, such as consumer reporting agencies
(credit bureaus).

Sharing Collected

Why
Can’t I Limit All Sharing? Federal law gives you the right to limit
only: sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about
your credit worthiness; affiliates from using your information to market to
