We regularly review and update our privacy practices to ensure they align with evolving privacy laws and technological advancements, such as those outlined by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Our goal is to provide transparency about our data handling, giving you confidence in how your information is managed.
RBC Wealth Management collects various types of information to provide you with tailored financial services, manage your accounts, and fulfill our legal obligations. This data is gathered through direct interactions, account applications, and your use of our digital platforms.
This information is primarily used to deliver financial advice, execute investment strategies, process transactions, maintain accurate records, and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations. We use your data to personalize your experience and inform you about relevant financial products and services offered by RBC Wealth Management.
The security of your data is paramount at RBC Wealth Management. We employ a multi-layered approach to protect your personal and financial information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

"Safeguarding client data is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a foundational element of trust in wealth management."
Our security measures include encryption for data in transit and at rest, secure network architectures, access controls that restrict data access to authorized personnel only, and regular security audits. All employees at RBC Wealth Management receive training on privacy and data security protocols to ensure adherence to our strict policies.
RBC Wealth Management will only share your information under specific, limited circumstances. This may include sharing with affiliates within the RBC group of companies to provide you with a broader range of financial services, or with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operations (e.g., statement processing, IT support) and are contractually bound to protect your data. We may also disclose information when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or regulatory inquiry, or to protect our rights and property. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
