How does TIH interact with me online?

Online Advertising on third-party websites and applications

TIH may advertise its products and services on websites and applications not affiliated with TIH. The third-party companies we hire to display these ads use their own tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of these ads and to understand your interests. Many of our third-party partners have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review these policies carefully.

Social media

TIH provides experiences on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or “X” that enable online sharing and collaboration. We use social media to facilitate social engagement and sharing when such sharing is appropriate and safe. Please note, any content you post, such as pictures, information, opinions, or any personal information that you make available to other participants on these social platforms, is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of those platforms. Please refer to them to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to such content.

Given the very public nature of social media, it is critical that we all safeguard confidential financial information. If you post information on a TIH site that we feel should be shielded from public view, we will remove it. This includes not only specific details about your private, confidential information (such as your Social Security number), but details of information relayed in private conversations between you and TIH representatives. Please know that in taking down or editing your posts, we are focusing our experience and best judgment to keep your personal information safe.

Email

Email transmitted across the internet is normally not protected and may be intercepted and viewed by others. Therefore, you should refrain from sending any confidential or private information via unsecured email to this TIH website. We'll never ask you to send confidential information to us via email.

Occasionally, we will retain the content of your email—and our replies—to confirm proper responses to your questions and requests, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and to ensure that we consistently deliver an enjoyable client experience to you.

TIH may provide links to non-TIH companies and will notify you when leaving the TIH site.
