Privacy Policy

Protecting the privacy of your personal information is a priority for Stockade Wealth Management, LLC ("Stockade Wealth," "we," "us," or "our"). Our relationships with current and prospective clients are built on trust, and we work hard to preserve that trust by handling your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and how we protect it — both in the course of providing financial planning and investment advisory services and through your use of this website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us directly, such as during an introductory meeting, ongoing consultations, or through account and engagement paperwork, may include:

Identifying information — name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and contact details
Financial information — income, assets, liabilities, tax information, and account details
Information related to equity compensation — stock plan, RSU, ISO/NSO, or ESPP details relevant to your financial and tax planning
Health-related information, to the extent it is relevant to your financial or insurance planning (for example, long-term care planning)
Family and beneficiary information relevant to your financial plan

Information we collect automatically through our website, such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and referring website, gathered through standard web analytics tools and cookies. This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and does not, by itself, identify you personally.

Information we receive from third parties, such as account data from our custodian (LPL Financial), data from financial planning or portfolio reporting software we use to service your account, or information from an employer stock plan administrator relevant to your equity compensation planning.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Design, implement, and monitor the financial planning and investment advisory services we provide you
Communicate with you and service your accounts
Comply with the federal and state laws and regulations that govern our business
Operate, maintain, and improve this website
Respond to inquiries submitted through our website (including our fee calculator or contact forms)
Send you materials, updates, or administrative communications you may be interested in

3. How We Share Your Information

We are permitted by law to disclose nonpublic personal information about you to unaffiliated third parties in certain limited circumstances. We may share your information with:

Our custodian, LPL Financial, and other service providers that help us maintain and service your account (such as portfolio reporting, financial planning, client relationship management, or document management systems)
Your CPA, attorney, or other professionals, but only with your prior authorization or at your direction
Regulators, such as the SEC or state securities regulators, as required by law or in connection with a regulatory examination
A successor firm, in the event of a proposed or actual sale, merger, or transfer of all or part of our business
Anyone else, only with your prior consent or as otherwise required by law

Any company or independent contractor we engage that may have access to your information is bound by confidentiality obligations. We do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in data with third parties for marketing purposes.

If we ever change our policy in a way that would allow disclosure of nonpublic information not covered by this policy, we will give you the opportunity to opt out before doing so.

4. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to measure visits, understand how pages are used, and improve the site experience. Cookies do not reveal your name or email address to us on their own. You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is offered or to block cookies entirely, though doing so may limit some site functionality. We do not sell website visitor data or share it with ad networks or data brokers.

5. How We Protect Your Information

We restrict access to your personal information to those who need it to perform their job functions, and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. While we make good-faith efforts to maintain strong security practices, no system can guarantee complete protection against unauthorized access.

6. Data Breach Notification

In the event your personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of our security, we will notify you in accordance with applicable state law.

7. Retention of Information and Former Clients

If our relationship ends, this Privacy Policy continues to apply, and we will continue to treat your nonpublic information with the same degree of confidentiality. We retain client records for the period required under applicable federal and state securities laws, after which records may be securely destroyed.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will post the updated policy on this website. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
