This is the privacy notice that applies to your IRA and ESA accounts and services with Vestwell.

For individuals who open an ESA with Vestwell, we will be sharing your personal information with the Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank’) for account opening and verification purposes. The Bank’s privacy policies are located here. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Bank or its affiliates may contact you to provide information on products and services that they believe will be of interest to you. If you wish to formally confirm your desire to opt-in or opt-out of receiving such communications or confirm or correct information, you can do so by contacting the Bank at Global_Privacy_Compliance@bnymellon.com.
