Effective Date: October 30, 2026
Introduction and Scope
This Website Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy") applies to the F/m Investments LLC ("FMI" or "we" or "us" or "our") website at www.fminvest.com (the "Site"), any registration-based portal available through the Site (the "Portal"), and any tools or other interactive items made available by FMI via the Site or the Portal (the “Tools”). Together the Site, Portal and Tools are referred to as the “Website” in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies to any user of the Website or any part of it, including the Portal and/or the Tools (each a “User” and together, the “Users”). Users may also be referred to in this Privacy Policy as “you” or “your” for context.
This Privacy Policy works alongside our Website Terms of Use, which explains the terms and conditions that each User accepts when using any part of the Website. This Privacy Policy is separate from, and does not amend, replace, or supersede, FMI's Annual Privacy Notice provided to advisory clients under Regulation S-P and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"), which governs FMI's collection, use, and sharing of nonpublic personal information (“NPI”) of FMI's advisory clients (the “Annual Privacy Notice to Clients”). See Relationship to FMI's Annual Privacy Notice to Clients below.

Additional Information Collected Through Registration
If you register for and/or use certain areas of the Website and create a User account (each an “Account”), we collect only your name and email address. We do not require any other information to register for an Account, and the Website and Portal do not accept or process personal financial information of any kind, including information about your accounts, holdings, or investments, or those of any other person. Once registered, we (or our service providers, on our behalf) may also collect:
Login credentials (username and password, or single sign-on credentials) and authentication data.

For financial professionals, additional registration and account information, such as your business email address, firm/employer name, job title and professional license or registration information (e.g., CRD number), where applicable.
Communications you send us through your Account, such as support requests.
The Website displays historical data from public government sources, including, but not limited to, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), the Federal Reserve Economic Data ("FRED") published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS"), the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), the Federal Open Market Committee (the "FOMC"), the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (the "BEA") and TreasuryDirect. We don't create or control this data, and we can't guarantee it's accurate, complete, or current.

How We Share Information
We may share the information described in this Privacy Policy as follows:
Service Providers. With third-party vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email/newsletter delivery, customer relationship management (CRM), analytics, and IT security services. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
Affiliates. With FMI's affiliates for internal administrative and business purposes.

Business Transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our business, subject to applicable confidentiality protections.
We do not sell personal information collected through the Website for monetary consideration. However, the Website uses advertising pixels, retargeting tags, and/or similar advertising technologies provided by third-party advertising partners. Depending on how these technologies are configured, this activity may constitute a "share" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), and/or "targeted advertising" under other applicable state privacy laws. See Your Choices below for information about opt-out rights that may apply.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) for purposes that may include:
Enabling core functionality, such as maintaining your login session on the Website or maintaining your Account;
Remembering preferences;
Measuring and analyzing traffic and usage patterns through analytics providers (such as Google Analytics); and
Supporting security and fraud prevention; and
Supporting advertising and remarketing through third-party advertising partners, which may use pixels or tags to recognize your device and show you or others relevant advertising on other websites.
The Site displays a cookie consent banner, provided by a third-party consent-management vendor, Cookiebot™, that allows you to manage certain cookie preferences when you first visit the Website. You can also control cookies at any time through your browser settings, including by blocking or deleting cookies; however, disabling certain cookies may prevent you from logging into your Account and/or using the Website.
Data Retention
We retain information collected through the Website for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In general, this means we retain contact-form and newsletter information for as long as you remain subscribed or until you ask us to delete it, and we retain User Account and usage information for as long as your access remains active and for a limited period afterward. We may retain information for a longer period where necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, or recordkeeping obligations (including under federal and state securities laws, where applicable), to resolve disputes, or to enforce our agreements.
Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the Website from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These safeguards may include access controls, encryption of certain data in transit, and periodic review of our security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Each User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its Account login credentials and for promptly notifying FMI of any suspected unauthorized access to its Account.

International Visitors
The Website is directed to Users in the United States and is intended for use by U.S. financial professionals and institutions. It is not directed to individuals located outside the United States, and FMI does not and will not knowingly collect personal information from individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions whose laws may impose additional requirements on FMI.
Relationship to the Annual Privacy Notice to Clients
FMI separately provides an Annual Privacy Notice to Clients to each of its advisory clients pursuant to Regulation S-P and the GLBA, describing how FMI collects, uses, and shares a client’s NPI, including information such as Social Security Numbers, client account balances, and investment experience, in connection with the advisory relationship. The Annual Privacy Notice to Clients is included in FMI's Form ADV Part 2A Brochure.
This Privacy Policy governs the Website only and does not apply to, amend, or replace the Annual Privacy Notice to Clients. If you are an FMI advisory client, the Annual Privacy Notice to Clients governs FMI's treatment of your NPI as an advisory client, and this Privacy Policy governs only your separate use of the Website (if any). In the event of any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and the Annual Privacy Notice to Clients, this Privacy Notice controls with respect your use of the Website.
Registering for and using Website, on its own, does not create an advisory or customer relationship with FMI. Website registration requires only a name and email address, and we do not collect or using any individual's financial information.
Privacy for Minors
The Website is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, individuals under the age of 18. Minors are prohibited from registering for an Account. We do not and will not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

When we make material changes, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy and, where required by applicable law, provide additional notice, which may include a notice on this page, a banner on the Site or Portal, or via a direct communication to Account Users. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Website and/or your Account after a revised Privacy Policy is posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
