Financial companies, such as Aspiriant, choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal and state law also requires us to tell you how we collect, manage, use, share and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand Aspiriant‘s practices.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it though our compliance with this policy. In this notice, we describe the types of information we may collect from you and our practices for collecting, managing, using, protecting and disclosing that information.
This policy applies to information we collect:
Aspiriant collects information from or regarding clients, prospective clients (“prospects”), employees and candidates for employment (“candidates”). This policy applies to the personal information of all these categories of people.
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly (“personal information”), with you or your household (“consumer”).
Personal information does not include publicly available information from government records, de-identified or aggregated consumer information or records that we have a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by you.
Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) is a special subset of personal information, including:
As described below, we apply further protections to SPI.

Exercising access, data portability, correction, and deletion rights
Note that all such requests must be a “verifiable consumer request” in accordance with the law. Only you or a duly authorized person acting on your behalf, may make a request related to personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. A “duly authorized person” to act on your behalf is your attorney-in-fact, someone holding a general power of attorney, or a person registered with an applicable state authority.
You may only make a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The request must:

We will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Response timing and format
We endeavor to respond to a consumer’s request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days) we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and that should allow you to transfer the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before we process your request.
If you are a new client, we can begin sharing your information 10 days from the date we sent this.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Rights and Policies notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Privacy Rights and Policies notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
