Privacy Pledge


Our Pledge to you
At First American Funds, trust has always been the foundation of our relationship with customers. Because you trust us with your financial and other personal information, we're committed to respect your privacy and safeguard that information. In order to preserve that trust, we pledge to protect your privacy by adhering to the practices described below.

We want you to understand what information we collect and how it's used.
"Nonpublic personal information" is nonpublic information that we obtain while providing financial products or services to you.


Why we collect your information
We gather nonpublic personal information about you and your accounts so that we can:
know who you are and prevent unauthorized access to your information;
design and improve the products we offer; and
comply with the laws and regulations that govern us.

The types of information we collect
We may collect the following nonpublic personal information about you:
Information about your identity, such as your name, address, and social security number;
Information about your transactions with us; and
Information you provide on applications, such as your beneficiaries.

Confidentiality and security
We operate through service providers.
We require our service providers to restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need that information in order to provide products or services to you. We also require them to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable federal standards and regulations to guard your information.

What information we disclose
We may share all of the nonpublic personal information that we collect about you with our affiliated providers of financial services, including our family of funds and their advisor, and with companies that perform marketing services on our behalf.

We're permitted by law to disclose nonpublic personal information about you to other third parties in certain circumstances. For example, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to affiliated and nonaffiliated third parties to assist us in servicing your account (e.g., mailing of fund related materials) and to government entities (e.g., IRS for tax purposes).

We'll continue to adhere to the privacy policies and practices described here even after your account is closed or becomes inactive.


Additional rights and protections
You may have other privacy protections under applicable state laws, such as California and Vermont. To the extent that these state laws apply, we will comply with them when we share information about you. This privacy policy does not apply to your relationship with other financial service providers, such as broker-dealers. We may amend this privacy notice at any time, and we will inform you of changes as required by law.
