Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: May 2026

1. Who We Are

WealthGate Advisors ("WealthGate," "we," "us") is a registered investment adviser. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information submitted through this website. This site is operated as part of the Ascend Web Platform drill program and is for demonstration and development purposes.

2. Information We Collect

Inquiry Form Submissions

When you submit a planning inquiry, we collect: your name, email, phone (optional), employer/organization (optional), self-identified client profile, approximate asset range (if provided), retirement horizon, current adviser relationships, stated planning need, preferred contact time, and the narrative description you provide.

Automatically Collected Data

We collect standard server logs and page-level analytics events (page views, form submission attempts). We do not use behavioral advertising, third-party tracking pixels, or device fingerprinting.

3. How We Use Your Information

No investment decisions are made by AI. All advisory recommendations are made by licensed human advisers.

4. Regulated Content Screening

All submissions are scanned for content that triggers regulatory routing concerns — including requests for investment advice with guaranteed returns, securities transaction solicitations, insurance claim language, and legal matters. Flagged submissions are routed to a specialist team, not acted on automatically. This is a compliance safety control.

5. Financial Data Handling

We do not request, accept, or store specific account numbers, social security numbers, portfolio holdings, or tax return data through this web form. If an adviser engagement is established, data sharing is governed by a separate engagement letter and privacy notice compliant with applicable regulations including Regulation S-P.

6. Data Retention

Inquiry submissions are retained under a short retention / human review label. Data is not retained beyond the inquiry follow-up cycle unless an advisory relationship is established, in which case retention is governed by applicable regulatory requirements.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share inquiry data with: (a) credentialed advisers affiliated with WealthGate for follow-up purposes; (b) the Ascend Nexus platform for intake routing and audit logging; (c) regulators or law enforcement when required by law. We do not share data with financial product vendors, insurance companies, or marketing platforms without your explicit consent.

8. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your inquiry data by contacting us. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA. For clients subject to Regulation S-P, additional privacy rights apply as described in the engagement letter.

9. Security

This site is served over HTTPS with Cloudflare security headers. All submissions are transmitted over TLS. Regulated content patterns are screened at intake before storage. We do not accept account numbers or government ID numbers through this form.

10. Regulatory Disclosures

WealthGate Advisors is a registered investment adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. This website does not constitute investment advice, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell securities. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Form ADV and our fee schedule are available upon request.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be noted with an updated effective date.
