ITEM 4 ADVISORYBUSINESS

1. Firm Description

Hyve Invest Inc. (“Hyve” or “Advisor”) is an internet-based investment adviser registered with the SEC. Hyve was founded in June 2022. HYVE Invest Inc. is a whollyowned subsidiary of Hyve Inc., a privately held company headquartered in New York, New York. The Chief Compliance Officer is Jonathan Dane.

1. Types of Advisory Services Investment Advisory Services

Hyve offersan automated investment advisory service that makes it possible for anyone who enters into a Hyve Advisory Client Agreement (the “AdvisoryClient Agreement”), to access state-of-the-art investment advisory and portfolio management services. As provided in the Advisory Client Agreement, advisory clients (“Clients”) grant Hyve discretionary authority to manage Client assets in accounts (“Client Accounts” or “Accounts”) opened and maintained at an unaffiliated broker/dealer or bank.

Hyve’s investment objective is to seek maximumlong-term, risk-adjusted, after-tax, net of fee returns

Each individual Client account has the ability to choose between portfolios we recommend. Our recommended portfolios are designed to maximize returnsfor Clients’ individual risk tolerances and other preferences. Hyve creates an investment plan and manages a Client’s portfolio by identifying: 1) optimal asset classes in which to invest, 2) efficient exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) or other investments to represent each of those asset classes, and 3) an ideal mix of asset classes based on the Client’s specific risk tolerance.

Based on the information that each Client enters on Hyve’s mobile or web-based application during the account opening process, Hyve will utilize its proprietary software algorithm to match each Client with the initial portfolio best suited to meet the individual Client’s investment goals. Each Client, upon being onboarded into Hyve, is asked a set of questions. These questions may include behavioral questions such as how a Client viewsrisk to assesstheir tolerance for risk. The algorithm then balances that analysis with the Client’s expectations for portfolio growth. Combined with additional Client feedback on when the Client expects to reach retirement age, Hyve algorithm then categorizes the Client into an initial portfolio that is suitable for their individual investment time frame.

Hyve manages Client Accounts on a discretionary basis. This means that Hyve is authorized to trade our Clients’ ETFs or other investments to maintain the Client’s target investment allocation, without further approval from the Clients, such as the determination of securities to be purchased or sold without prior permission from the Clients for each transaction. Hyve utilizes software to conduct this trading to invest Client deposits, fund Client withdrawals, perform rebalancing to maintain targetportfolio allocations, and execute tax-loss harvesting strategies Any and all trades are made in the best interest of the Clientsas part of our fiduciary duty. However, risk is inherent to any investing strategy and model. Therefore, Hyve does not guarantee any results or future returns.

1. Services Tailoredto Clients’ Needs

Hyve tailorsits software-based investment advisory service to the individual needs of each of its Clients, in accordance with the portfolio allocation chosen by Clients, and subject to certain account limitations that prospective investors should consider, as described further below and in Item 7. Hyve utilizes the information provided by each Client regarding the Client’s current financial situation, goals, and risk tolerances to determine a Client’s risk tolerance. Hyve asks each prospective Client a series of questions

to evaluateboth the individual’s objective capacity to take risk and subjective willingness to take risk. We ask subjective risk questions to determine both the level of risk an individual is willing to take and the consistency among the answers or example, if an individual is willing to take a lot of risk in one case and very little in another, then the individual is deemed inconsistent and is therefore assigned a lower risk tolerance score than the simple weighted average of their answers.

1. Wrap Fee Program

Hyve does not participate in a wrap fee program.

1. Assets UnderManagement

Hyve is a newly registered investment advisor and therefore, as of February 24, 2022, has $893 of assets under management.

ITEM 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION

1. Advisory Fees for Individually Managed Accounts

Hyve currently does not chargean investment advisoryfee or subscription fee for the use of its investment advisory services.

Hyve reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to negotiate, reduce or waive the advisory fee or subscription fee for certain Client Accounts for any period of time determined solely by Hyve. In addition, Hyve may reduce or waive its fees for the Accounts of some Clients without notice to, or fee adjustment for, other Clients.All fees paid to Advisorfor investment advisoryservices are separateand distinct from the expenses charged by third-party managers and Investment Companies to their shareholder. These fees will generally include third-party management fees, an Investment Company management fee, other fund expenses, and in some situations a possible distribution fee.

Advisor will provideinvestment advisory servicesand portfolio management services but will not provide custodial or other administrative services. At no time will Advisor acceptor maintain custodyof a client’s funds or securities except for authorized fee deduction. The Client may contact the Custodian directly for disbursements, or accountrecord changes, and may also do so in writingto the custodian. Advisor may act at the client’s convenience to facilitate such written communications to the Custodian, provided that such action is not construed to be custody of client assets.

Client is responsible for all custodialand securities executionfees charged by the custodianand executing broker-dealer. Fees paid to Advisor are separate and distinct from the custodian and execution fees.

Clients may request to terminate their advisory contract with Advisor, in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice. Upon termination, any fees paid in advance will be prorated to the date of termination and any excess will be refunded to client through the Custodian. Client’s advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without Client’s written approval.

Right of Cancellation

In addition to the right to terminate an agreement pursuant to its terms, a client may cancel an agreement with Adviser within five (5) business days of first receiving a copy of this disclosure brochure and supplement without penalty or fee.

C. Third Party Fees

In additionto the advisory fees, Clientsmay also pay other fees or expensesto third parties.For example, custodians or broker/dealers may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of securities. The issuers of certain investments we purchase for Clients (such as ETFs, investment trusts, or other investments) may charge Clients separate product fees. Hyve does not charge these product fees to Clients, nor does it benefit directly or indirectly from any such fees.

Product fees typically include embedded fund expenses that may reduce an investment fund's net asset value, and therefore directly affect the fund's performance and indirectly affect a Client’s portfolio performance or an index benchmark comparison. Fund expenses may include management fees, custodian fees, brokerage commissions, and legal and accounting fees. Fund expenses may change from time to time at the sole discretion of the fund issuer.

ITEM 6 PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT

Hyve does not chargeperformance-based fees thereforethis question is not applicable.

ITEM 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS

Hyve is available to individuals of all income levels, including high-net worth individuals. Hyve does not have any minimum amount required to open and maintain an account with Hyve. Clients are required to open a savings accountwith hyve’s bankingpartner, Synapse Financial Technologies, Inc.’s programbank partners, and execute an Advisory Agreement with Hyve and a Brokerage Agreement with Alpaca Securities.

ITEM 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies

Hyve utilizes a comprehensive investment management process and strategy that involves incorporating a Clients goals, objectives and risk tolerances into an investment portfolio that may include individual stocks, thirdparty managers, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds.

Generally Hyve will recommend to each client an allocation to a portfolio comprised of multiple ETFs designedto provide a tradeoff betweenrisk and long-term, after-tax, net-of-fee return through a diversified set of global asset classes.

Hyve’s general approachto investment portfolio construction is groundedin concepts of Modern Portfolio Theory (“MPT”) and Value at Risk. MPT attempts to maximize a portfolio’s expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return,by selecting the proportions of various asset classes rather than selectingindividual securities. Historically, rigorous MPT- based financial advice has been available primarily through certain high-end financial advisors.

Hyve’s investment philosophy is anchored in the belief that diversifying risk is a key tenet of proper portfolio construction and design, and is required in order to achieve consistent risk-adjusted returns. Therefore, risk must be fullyunderstood and diversified where appropriate acrossasset class, style,sector, and industry. Hyve’s strategic asset allocation process utilizes historical and forward-looking measures of risk, return, and correlation for various asset classes. These inputs and assumptions are then analyzedusing

a combination of tools to develop an ideal mix of asset allocations and asset styles that optimize expected returnfor a given level of risk. A Client’s actualinvestment results will vary, sometimes substantially, from the projections generated from our asset allocation tools and models,and a Client could lose all or a portion of their investment capital.

RISKS

General Risks.Investingin securities alwaysinvolves risk of loss that you shouldbe prepared to bear. We do not represent or guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives can or will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. We also cannot assure that third parties will satisfy their obligations in a timely manner or perform as expected or marketed.

General Market Risk. Investment returns will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of the portfolio securities. Certain securities held may be worth less than the price originally paid for them,or less than they were worth at an earlier time.

Common Stocks.Investmentsin common stocks,both directly and indirectly throughinvestment in shares of ETFs, may fluctuate in value in response to many factors, including, but not limited to, the activities of the individual companies, general market and economic conditions, interest rates, and specific industry changes. Such price fluctuations subjectcertain strategies to potential losses.During temporary or extended bear markets, the value of common stocks will decline, which could also result in losses for each strategy.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. High rates of portfolio turnover could lower performance of an investment strategy due to increased costs and may result in the realization of capital gains. If an investment strategy realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it will increase taxable distributions to you. High rates of portfolio turnover in a given year would likely result in short-term capital gains and under current tax law you would be taxed on short-term capital gains at ordinary income tax rates, if held in a taxable account.

Non-Diversified Strategy Risk. Some investment strategies may be non-diversified (e.g., investing a greater percentage of portfolio assets in a particular issuer and owning fewer securities than a diversified strategy). Accordingly, each such strategyis subject to the risk that a large loss in an individual issuer will cause a greater loss than it would if the strategy held a largernumber of securities or smaller positions sizes.

Model Risk. Financial and economicdata series are subject to regime shifts,meaning past information may lack value under future market conditions. Models are based upon assumptions that may prove invalid or incorrect under many market environments. We may use certain model outputs to help identify market opportunities and/or to make certainasset allocation decisions. There is no guarantee any model will work under all market conditions. For this reason, we include model related results as part of our investment decision process but we often weigh professional judgment more heavily in making trades or asset allocations.

ETF Risks, including Net Asset Valuations and Tracking Error. An ETF's performance may not exactly match the performance of the index or market benchmark that the ETF is designed to track because 1) the ETF will incur expenses and transaction costs not incurredby any applicable index or market benchmark;

2) certain securities comprising the indexor market benchmarktracked by the ETF may, from time to time, temporarily be unavailable; and 3) supply and demand in the market for either the ETF and/or for the securities held by the ETF may cause the ETF shares to trade at a premium or discount to the actual net asset value of the securities owned by the ETF. Certain ETF strategiesmay from time to time include the

purchase of fixed income, commodities, foreign securities, American Depository Receipts, or other securities for which expenses and commission rates could be higher than normally charged for exchange- traded equitysecurities, and for which marketquotations or valuation may be limitedor inaccurate. Clients should be aware that to the extent they invest in ETF securities they will pay two levels of advisory compensation – advisory fees chargedby Adviser plus any advisoryfees charged by the issuer of the ETF. This scenario may cause a higher advisory cost (and potentially lower investment returns) than if a Client purchasedthe ETF directly.An ETF typically includes embeddedexpenses that may reduce the ETF's net asset value, and therefore directly affect the ETF's performance and indirectly affect a Client’s portfolio performance or an index benchmark comparison. Expenses of the ETF may include investment advisor management fees, custodian fees, brokerage commissions, and legal and accounting fees. ETF expenses may change from time to time at the sole discretion of the ETF issuer. ETF tracking error and expenses may vary.

Inflation, Currency, and Interest Rate Risks. Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response to changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be worth less and may reducethe purchasing power of an investor’s future interest paymentsand principal. Inflation also generally leads to higher interest rates, which in turn may cause the value of many types of fixed income investments to decline. In addition, the relative value of the U.S. dollar-denominated assets primarily managed by Adviser may be affected by the risk that currency devaluations affect Client purchasing power.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to readily convertan investment into cash to prevent a loss, realize an anticipated profit, or otherwise transfer funds out of the particular investment. Generally, investments are more liquid if the investment has an established market of purchasers and sellers, such as a stock or bond listed on a national securities exchange. Conversely, investments that do not have an established market of purchasers and sellers may be considered illiquid. Your investment in illiquid investments may be for an indefinite time, because of the lack of purchasers willing to convert your investment to cash or other assets.

Legislative and Tax Risk. Performance may directly or indirectly be affected by government legislation or regulation, which may include, but is not limited to: changes in investment advisor or securities trading regulation; change in the U.S. government’s guarantee of ultimate payment of principal and interest on certain government securities; and changes in the tax code that could affect interest income, income characterization and/or tax reporting obligations, particularly for options, swaps, master limited partnerships, Real Estate Investment Trust, Exchange Traded Products/Funds/ Securities. We do not engage in tax planning, and in certaincircumstances a Clientmay incur taxableincome on theirinvestments without a cash distribution to pay the tax due. Clients and their personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in their account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority.

Foreign Investing and Emerging MarketsRisk. Foreign investing involvesrisks not typically associated with U.S. investments, and the risks maybe exacerbated further in emerging market countries. These risks may include, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, as well as adverse political, social and economic developments affecting one or more foreign countries. In addition, foreign investing may involve less publicly available information and more volatile or less liquid securities markets, particularly in markets that trade a small number of securities, have unstable governments, or involve limited industry.Investments in foreigncountries could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., such as restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country, foreign tax laws or tax withholding requirements, unique trade clearance or settlement procedures, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations or other legal rules that jeopardize shareholder protection. Foreign accounting may be less transparent than U.S. accounting practices and foreignregulation may be inadequate or irregular.

Information Security Risk. We may be susceptible to risks to the confidentiality and security of its operations and proprietary and customer information. Information risks, including theft or corruption of electronically stored data, denial of service attacks on our website or websites of our third-party service providers, and the unauthorized release of confidential information are a few of the more common risks faced by us and other investment advisers. Data securitybreaches of our electronic data infrastructure could have the effect of disrupting our operations and compromising our customers' confidential and personally identifiable information. Such breaches could result in an inability of us to conduct business, potential losses, including identity theft and theft of investment funds from customers, and other adverse consequences to customers. We have taken and will continue to take steps to detect and limit the risks associated with these threats.

Tax Risks. Tax laws and regulations applicable to an accountwith Adviser may be subjectto change and unanticipated tax liabilities may be incurred by an investor as a result of such changes. In addition, customers may experience adverse tax consequences from the early assignment of options purchasedfor a customer's account.Customers should consulttheir out tax advisers and counsel to determine the potential tax-related consequences of investing.

Advisory Risk. There is no guarantee that our judgment or investment decisions on behalf of particular any accountwill necessarily producethe intended results.Our judgment may prove to be incorrect, and an account might not achieve her investment objectives. In addition, it is possible that we may experience computer equipment failure, loss of internet access, viruses, or other events that may impair access to accounts’ custodians’ software. Adviser and its representatives are not responsible to any account for losses unless caused by Adviser breaching our fiduciary duty.

Software Risk. Hyve delivers its investment advisory services entirely through software. Consequently, Hyve rigorously designs, develops and tests its software extensively before putting such software into production with actual Client Accounts and assets and periodically monitors the behaviors of such software after its deployment. Notwithstanding this rigorousdesign, development, testingand monitoring, it is possible that such software may not always perform exactly as intended or as disclosed on the Site, mobile app, blogs or other Hyve disclosure documents, especially in certain combinations of unusual circumstances. Hyve continuously strives to monitor, detect and correct any software that does not perform as expected or as disclosed.

Volatility and Correlation Risk – Hyve’s securityselection process is based in

part on a careful evaluation of past price performance and volatility to evaluate future probabilities. It is possible that different or unrelated asset classes may exhibit similar price changes in similar directions which may adversely affect a Client’s account and may become more acute in times of market upheavalor high volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections may

not reflectactual future performance.

Dependence on Key Employees. An accountssuccess depends, in part, upon the abilityof our key professionals to achievethe targeted investment goals. The loss of any of thesekey personnel could adversely impact the ability to achieve such investment goals and objectives of the account.

ITEM 11 CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING

A. Fiduciary Status.

According to SEC law, an investment advisor is considered a fiduciary. As a fiduciary, it is an investment advisor’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts. In addition, an investment advisor has a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the best interest of each of its clients. Hyve and its representatives have a fiduciary duty to all clients. Hyve and its representatives’ fiduciaryduty to clients is considered the core underlying principle for Hyve’ Code of Ethics and represents the expected basisfor all representatives’ dealings with clients. Hyve has the responsibility to ensure that the interests of clients are placed ahead of it or its representatives’ own investment interest.All representatives will conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner. All representatives will comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Full disclosure of all material facts and potential conflicts of interest will be provided to clients prior to services being conducted. All representatives have a responsibility to avoid circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect the representatives’ duty of completeloyalty to their clients.

B. Personal Trading.

Advisor and/or its investment advisoryrepresentatives may from time-to-time purchaseor sell productsor investments that they may recommend to clients. Advisor has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the basic policies of ethical conduct for all managers, officers, and employees of the adviser.

In addition, the Code of Ethics governs personal trading by each employee of Advisor deemed to be an Access Person and is intendedto ensure that securities transactions effected by Access Persons of Advisor are conducted in a mannerthat avoids any actual or potential conflictof interest betweensuch persons and clients of the adviser or its affiliates.

Advisor collects and maintains recordsof securities holdingsand securities transactions effected by Access Persons. These records are reviewed to identify and resolve potential conflicts of interest. Advisor’s Code of Ethics is available upon request.

Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities

From time to time, our firm or its “related persons” may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of Hyve to buy or sell securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations they provideto clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest; however,Hyve will never engage in tradingthat operates to the client’sdisadvantage if representatives of Hyve buy or sell securities at or around the same time as clients.

ITEM 12 BROKERAGE PRACTICES

A. Broker-Dealer.

Adviser has an established relationship with Alpaca Securities LLC, who we will recommendto clients for custody or client transactions. Adviser suggests this broker-dealer/custodian be used based on execution and custodial services offered, cost,quality of serviceand industry reputation. Adviser has also considered factors such as commission price, speed and quality of execution, client management tools, and convenience of access for both the Advisor and client in making its suggestion.

As an investment adviser, Adviser has a fiduciary duty to seek best execution for client transactions. While best execution is difficult to define and challenging to measure, there is some consensus that it does not solely mean the achievement of the best price on a given transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective consideration of factorsconcerning the trade in question.Such factors includethe security being traded, the price of the trade, the speed of the execution, apparent conditions in the market, and the specific needs of the client.

Adviser utilizes a custodian that it believes offers a competitive price based upon the custodian’s market access, the transaction confirmation and account statement practices, the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities, and the reasonableness of the commission or its equivalent for the specific transaction. Adviser will monitor the services offered by the custodian and make any changes, as appropriate.

1. Research and OtherSoft Dollar Benefits.

The Firm is independently owned and operatedand not affiliated with any custodian or broker-dealer (“Vendors”). The Firm does not receive commission income from any Vendors. However, Vendors may provide the Firm with access to their institutional trading and custody services that are typically not available to their retail investors. These services include trade execution, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment, reports on or other information about particular companies or industries, economic surveys and analyses, recommendations as to specific securities, financial and industry publications, portfolio evaluation services, financial database software and services, computerized news, pricing and statistical services, analytical softwareand services, quotationservices, and other products or services that may enhance the Firm’s investment decision making. A Vendor may make available other products and services that benefit the Firm but may not benefit its Clients’ accounts. Some of these other products and services assist the Firm in managing and administering Clients’ accounts. These products and services may be provided without cost or at a discount to the Firm and include: hardware, software and other technology that provide access to Client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts); research, pricing information and other market data; facilitation of payment of the Firm’s fees from its Clients’ accounts; and assistance with back-office functions, recordkeeping and Client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial number of the Firm’s accounts, including accounts not serviced by a Vendor. The Vendors may also make availableother services intendedto help the Firm manageand further developits business enterprise. These services may be provided without cost or at a discount to the Firm and include consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, regulatory compliance, marketing and assistance with event sponsorship. In addition, Vendors may make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services rendered to the Firm by independent third- parties. They may discount or waive fees they would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to the Firm. Vendors may from

time to time offer the Firm technology or marketing support payments that serve to reduce costs the Firm might otherwise incur. The recommendation that Clients maintain their assets in accounts serviced by a specific Vendor may be based in part on the fact that the Firm may benefit from the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of services providedby the Vendor, which createsa potential conflictof interest for the Firm. Although acceptance of such services, arrangements and payments could give the Firm an incentive to recommend that Clients use a particular Vendor, such services and amounts are generally not material to the Firm’s operations. Also, there is not a corresponding commitment by the Firm to any Vendor to invest any set amount or percentage of Client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as a result of the above arrangements.

1. Brokerage for Client Referrals.

Hyve does not receiveclient referrals from any broker-dealer or third party as a result of the firm selecting or recommending that broker-dealer to clients.

1. a. DirectedBrokerage.

Adviser requires that all clients use Alpaca Securities LLC for execution and/or custodial services. The broker-dealer is recommended based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions chargedto the client, tools and services made available to the client and the Advisor, and convenience of access to the accounttrading and reporting. The client will provide authorityto Adviser to directall transactions throughthat broker-dealer in the investment advisory agreement. Pleasealso see the response to Item 12A above.

C. Order Aggregation

Advisor does not combine ordersinto block trades.

D. Bank Accounts

Advisor requires that all clients open a savings account through Synapse Financial Technologies, Inc.’s program bank partners, prior to utilizing Advisor’s investment advisory services. The banking partner is recommend based on criteria such as, but not limitedto, reasonableness of fees chargedto the client, tools and services made available to the client and the Advisor, connectivity of the account to other financial institutions, and convenience of access to the account.

ITEM 13 REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS

Hyve regularly reviews and evaluates Client accounts for compliance with each Client’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Firm analyzes rates of return and allocation of assets to determinemodel strategy effectiveness. Such reviews are conducted by the ChiefCompliance Officer of Hyve, or their designee, and shall occur at least once per calendar year.

Intermittent reviews may be triggered by substantial market fluctuation, economic or political events, or changes in the Client’s financial status (such as retirement, termination of employment, relocation, inheritance, etc.). Clients are advised to notify Hyve promptly if there are any material changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or in the event they wish to placerestrictions on theirAccount.

Confirmations and statements are prepared and delivered by the qualified custodian. Hyve Accountstatements are providedto Clients via the websiteon a quarterly basis. We urge Clients to compare these reports against the account statements they receive from their custodian.

ITEM 14 CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

We do not receive any economic benefit,directly or indirectly, from any third party for advice renderedto our Clients. Nor do we, directly or indirectly, compensate any person who is not advisory personnel for Client referrals.

hyve maintains a referral program pursuant to which existing clients are compensated for referring new clients and supporting other client’s Goals. As part of the referral program, once the referring client and the referred client have met the eligibility criteria under the terms and conditions for the applicable referral promotion, hyve will provide the client with a reward, in a dollar amount specified by the applicable promotion, invested into one of the client’s Goals. Terms and conditions will vary by promotion. The referral program is governed by an agreement between the client and hyve.

ITEM 15 CUSTODY

All Clients’ accounts are held in custody by unaffiliated broker/dealers or banks, but the Firm can access many Clients’ accounts through its ability to debit investment advisory fees. For this reason, the Firm is considered to have limited custody of certain Client assets.

Account custodians send statements directly to the account owners on at least a quarterly basis. Clients should carefully reviewthese statements and should comparethese statements to any accountinformation provided by the Firm. While Hyve reconciles trading information on a regular basis, a Client may experience differences in the information displayed on the Hyve website, app, or electronic communication as compared to the Account documentation due to pending transactions, dividends, corporate actions, cash movements or withdrawals, or other activity. Only the broker/dealer or banks trading confirmations and statements represent the official records of a Client’s Account.

ITEM 16 INVESTMENT DISCRETION

Advisor generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the client and agreed to by Adviser in an investment policy statement.

Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the client. The granting of such authoritywill be evidenced by the client’sexecution of an Investment AdvisoryAgreement containing all

applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Adviser will be in accordance with each client’s investment objectives and goals and consistent with the Investment Policy statement.

The Client must understand that gains and losses are realized by discretionary activity and that these are taxable events, and that the client has authorized such activity in granting discretion. While some sensitivity to taxation is possiblewith discretion, if the client requires controlof the taxable events, a non-discretionary approach is needed and thereforerecommended, and this would requirethat the client’sinvestment contract indicate the account is non-discretionary.

ITEM 17 VOTING CLIENTSECURITIES

We do not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) voting proxies, and (2) acting on corporate actionspertaining to the Client’s investment assets. The Clientshall instruct the Client’s qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the Client’s investment assets.

You may not select as your Hyve user ID a name that you do not have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your Hyve Account to anyone else without our prior written permission. You will only use the Services for your own internal, personal, non-commercial use. We may deny your application, suspend provision of the Services to You, or close your Hyve Account if any information is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate. Your application might also be denied at our discretion or at the Banking Provider’s discretion, in which case, neither the Banking Provider nor we will have to justify the denial.

By using the Services you agree to create and use only one Hyve account. Attempting to, or registering, more than one Hyve Account is strictly prohibited. If we approve your registration, you will be authorized to use the Services, subject to these Terms. We have sole direction to determine if you are eligible to use our Services.

When you register for the Services and from time to time thereafter, we may require you to provide and/or confirm information and documentation that will allow us to identify you.

VERIFICATION. For our compliance purposes, and in order to provide the Services to you, you hereby authorize us to obtain, verify, and record information and documentation that helps us verify the information related to the banking account held by your bank, identity and risk profile (“Particular Bank Account Information” or “Particular Bank Account”). We will never ask you for your login credentials by phone or through email.

As part of this authorization, we may at registration and from time to time as part of our ongoing compliance requirements, import certain information from financial institutions and other third-party providers to verify your Particular Bank Account information. In some cases, we will directly access this information. We may also integrate third party service providers to facilitate this Service solely for the purpose of importing and verifying your information. To the extent needed to provide you relevant services and access to financial products, you further authorize us and/or any entity directed by Hyve, affiliates and independent service providers to obtain a credit and background investigation report about you. Furthermore, hyve may conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. You understand that a “consumer credit report” includes any information regarding your credit worthiness, credit standing and credit capacity. You further understand and agree that a credit report and/or a background investigation report may be obtained at any time, and any number of times, Hyve, affiliates and independent service providers in its sole discretion, determine is necessary before, during or after your involvement with Hyve.

ACCOUNT. When creating your Hyve Account, you must provide accurate and complete information, including payment related information, and your online credentials for your Hyve Savings Account (“User Information”). You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Hyve Account, and you must keep your Hyve Account login credentials. You must notify Hyve immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Hyve Account. We are not liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Hyve Account.

You agree to promptly notify us of changes to your Account information. You are the only person authorized to use your Hyve Account and password and for maintaining the confidentiality of your Hyve Account and password. You shall not permit or allow other persons to have access to or use your Hyve Account and password. You are responsible for the use of the Services under your Hyve Account. You are responsible for protecting the information on your computer and any mobile devices such as by installing anti-virus software, updating your software, password protecting your files, and not permitting third party physical or electronic access to your computer. 

CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND PRIVACY. You understand that by using the Services you agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information and aggregate information as set forth in our Privacy Policy.

SERVICES. By opening a Hyve Account, you may have access to the following Services:

BANKING SERVICES.

1. General. We offer you access to a Cash Management account in the US. You understand that by opening a Hyve Account through the Services you authorize Synapse to accept all instructions provided to Synapse by Hyve. The relationship between You and Synapse is that of debtor and creditor, and Synapse owes no fiduciary duty to You.
2. Your Funds and the Account. Your funds will remain in your Hyve Account until you instruct us to transfer any or all of your funds from your Hyve Account by indicating a withdrawal within the Mobile Application. The use of the Hyve Account is unique and exclusive for personal purposes, and use for commercial purposes is not allowed. We will generally transfer the requested funds from your Hyve Account to your Particular Banking Account within six (6) Business Days of when we receive your request. We may transfer funds from your Hyve Account to your Particular Banking Account without notice to you upon the closure of your Hyve Account and at any time if required by applicable law or if we, in our sole discretion, suspect the Services are being used for illicit purposes or otherwise in violation of these Terms.
3. Account Use Prohibitions. You are solely responsible for determining whether the funds debited from your Particular Bank Account and the funds maintained in your Hyve Account are acceptable to you, provided that the use of the Hyve Account is for personal and not commercial purposes. We are not responsible for any third-party fees that may be incurred as a result of using the Services, including, but not limited to, third-party fees incurred as a result of maintaining insufficient funds in your Particular Bank Account.
4. Synapse Account. You may obtain information about the balance of funds in your Account. You have the right to receive an account statement showing your account activity. The Deposit Account Agreement governs the deposit account made available to you by Synapse. The cash balance maintained in a Synapse Brokerage LLC Cash Management Program is held at one or more Program Banks. The deposit at Program Banks is not covered by Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The deposit is eligible for FDIC insurance subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits. All assets of the account holder at the depository institution will generally be counted toward the aggregate limit. For more information about FDIC insurance coverage, please visit the FDIC website at www.FDIC.gov or call 877-ASK-FDIC. As referenced in the Synapse Brokerage LLC Customer Agreement, customers are responsible for monitoring their total assets at the Program Bank to determine the extent of available FDIC insurance. All FDIC insurance coverage is in accordance with FDIC rules. See your applicable account agreements and the Synapse Terms of Service for further details. The Program Bank(s) participating in a Synapse cash management program can be found in the List of Program Banks. Synapse Brokerage LLC is an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Additional information about Synapse Brokerage can be found on FINRA’s BrokerCheck.”
5. Banking Services Account Earnings. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL ONLY RETAIN A PORTION OF THE INTEREST OR OTHER EARNINGS ON THE FUNDS IN YOUR BANKING SERVICES. You irrevocably transfer and assign to Hyve any and all rights that you may have to one half (50%) of any interest that may accrue on funds held in your Banking Services. This assignment shall be considered a fee for the Services and applies only to interest earned on the funds held in your Hyve Account, and nothing in these Terms grants Hyve any rights to the principal of the funds held in your Banking Services.
6. Account Closure, Freeze or Suspension. Upon the closure of your Hyve Account for any reason, we will transfer the funds in your Hyve Account, if any, to an account of your choosing or, at our discretion, we may send you a check for the amount of the funds to you at your street address in our records. You agree that if we suspect that any irregular, unauthorized, or unlawful activity may be occurring in connection with your Hyve Account, we may “freeze” or close your Account.
7. E-SIGN. You agree with all documents and information regarding electronic submission and that the adaptation process takes place via the Hyve Site and/or the Application. All communications are carried out electronically and with your consent pursuant to the Hyve Consent to Electronic Communications accepted by you at the outset of the Services. The Hyve Services ensure that You will receive all documents, contracts, terms, account statements, account disclosures and policies electronically in accordance with applicable laws. You acknowledge and agree to the receipt electronically. You acknowledge and agree that Hyve maintains records of your consent to the documents made available, accurately, and that are made available to You for the period required by applicable law.

INVESTMENT SERVICES. You may only use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party.

You can determine which Services are best suited for your needs. For instance, you can establish an investment strategy using our Investment Services service. Based on the information we have about you, we will provide recommendations for a financial strategy that is intended to fit your financial and risk profile. You will be the one deciding how much you wish to set aside.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future success, and, in fact, volatility means that returns in any period may be far above or below those of a previous period. Some customers may have investment results that materially differ from those we might indicate by our investment tools and projections. Investments at Hyve may lose value. Hyve is unable to predict or forecast market fluctuations or other uncertainties that may affect the value of any investment. Model predictions are inherently limited in that they do not represent actual trading nor material economic or market factors that might have had an impact on Hyves’s advice. Portfolio performance projections are based on Hyve’s current recommended portfolios, and, for periods that pre-date the issuance of funds in our current recommended portfolios, broad market indexes. Portfolio performance projected account for the reinvestment of dividends as well as investment fund fees, but they do not take into account management fees earned by Hyve. While the features within the Investment Services are designed to provide helpful investing guidance, as an individual, you must carefully consider the appropriateness of the proposed portfolios in light of your own personal financial circumstances, including cash flow needs, tax circumstances, or other complex or subjective concerns. Hyve does not offer to give legal or tax advice. For specific legal or tax matters, you should consult with your own legal and/or tax advisors. You are urged to use all available resources to educate yourself about investing in general, as well as the investments and overall composition of your portfolio and Investment Services. Additionally, market conditions and your personal financial circumstances may change - perhaps suddenly or maybe gradually over time. Monitoring and adjusting your Investment Services to suit changing circumstances is your responsibility, and it is recommended that you reassess any investing program on a regular basis to ensure that it remains consistent with your current financial resources and investment objectives.

Hyve is a financial adviser only in regard to the product provided and Services used by you pursuant to these Terms. For other benefits and plans, Hyve is not providing financial advice in the Services. Your financial situation is unique. We do not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees of any kind that the Services are appropriate for you. Before using the Services, you should consider obtaining additional information and advice from a financial adviser.

PROHIBITED USE.  Hyve may in its sole and absolute discretion refuse to process any transaction or service using its services or the services of its third-party service providers that Hyve suspects would violate, or assist in violation of, any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation, sanctions programs administered in the countries where Hyve conducts business, including the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or which would involve proceeds of any unlawful activity.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. Please read carefully.  This Arbitration Agreement is part of the Terms of Use.

BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Unless prohibited by federal law, you and Hyve agree to arbitrate all Claims through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, as explained below. The term "Claim" means any action, dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind arising out of, in connection with or in any way related to the Terms of Use or the Services, including without limitation any aspect whatsoever of the past, present, or future relationship or conduct of the Parties. The term "Claim" includes, without limitation: claims under federal or state consumer protection laws; claims in tort or contract; claims under statutes or common law; claims at law or in equity; or other past, present, or future claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third party claims, interpleaders or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Parties agree that any claim relating to the applicability of this arbitration agreement or arbitrability of any Claim shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction rather than the arbitrator, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void, voidable, or unconscionable.

Background and Scope.

What is binding arbitration?

An alternative to court. In binding arbitration, a neutral third party (an “Arbitrator”) resolves Claims in a hearing. In any arbitration, neither you nor Hyve will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration.

Is it different from court and jury trials?

Yes. The hearing is private and less formal than court. Other rights that either Party would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding.

Who does the Arbitration Agreement cover?

Me, Hyve, and Others. This Arbitration Agreement covers all parties involved in any Claims, such as heirs, successors, assigns, employees, agents, vendors, and other third parties.

What types of disputes are covered? 

All Claims. Hyve and you agree to arbitrate any and all Claims. The Parties each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so.

Are you waiving rights? 

Yes. You waive your rights to:

1. Have a jury resolve Claims.
2. Have a court resolve Claims.
3. Serve as a private attorney general or in a representative capacity.
4. Be in a class action.

Are you waiving class action rights?

Yes. Hyve and you each understand and agree that by requiring each other to resolve all disputes through individual arbitration, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties unless all parties, including Hyve, agree in writing.
Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity, scope, and effect of this Arbitration Agreement.

What law applies?

The Federal Arbitration Act. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce. It shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”). The Arbitrator may decide all issues relating to the merits of Claims, including among other things whether the governing law provisions in the Terms of Use are enforceable.

What is the first step in trying to resolve Claims?

Please write to Hyve. Hyve wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before either Party is allowed to file a Claim, we each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. you may do this by emailing or writing to Hyve. You understand that you need to describe the details of your Claim and how you would like Hyve to resolve it. Hyve will try to resolve the dispute informally. If a dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice, either you or Hyve may start arbitration. To start arbitration, either Party may contact one of the arbitration groups listed below. Settlement offers are confidential. Neither you nor Hyve are allowed to disclose settlement offers to the arbitrator during arbitration.

How should you contact Hyve?

By mail or telephone. Send mail to Hyve at support@letshyve.com. Call Hyve at 1-877–566-6420.

Will this Arbitration Agreement continue to govern?

Yes, unless the class action waiver and class arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid or not enforceable.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the Terms of Use. It will survive your fulfillment or default of your obligations. It will survive either Party’s bankruptcy or insolvency to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Terms of Use, if the class action waiver or class arbitration waiver is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void. If any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the rest of this Arbitration Agreement. 

Process.

How does arbitration start?

Mailing a notice. After trying to resolve Claims informally, either Party may mail the other a request to arbitrate. The notice should describe the Claims and relief sought. The receiving Party must mail a response within thirty (30) days. If you mail the request to arbitrate, you may choose between the arbitration providers listed below. If related third parties or Hyve mails the request to arbitrate, you must respond in thirty (30) days. My response must choose between the arbitration providers listed below. If it does not, Hyve may choose the arbitration provider.

Who arbitrates?

AAA, JAMS, or an arbitrator we both agree to.
Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS pursuant to the applicable AAA or JAMS consumer rules in effect when the arbitration is initiated. You may obtain information about arbitration and fees from AAA by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org or from JAMS by calling 800-352-5267 or visiting www.jamsadr.com. If AAA and JAMS are unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the Parties agree upon in writing. If the Parties cannot agree on another arbitration organization or arbitrator, then an arbitrator may be appointed by a court pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA.

Will the hearing be held nearby?

Yes. For your convenience, the arbitration hearing will take place remotely via the applicable virtual hearing processes of the AAA or JAMS. If for some reason a virtual hearing is unavailable through either AAA or JAMS, the arbitration hearing will be held in the state of New York.

Will Hyve advance arbitration fees?

No. The Party filing the arbitration is expected to cover the filing fee, and the Parties will split all other arbitration fees and costs (e.g., the hearing fee and the fees charged by the arbitrator). Each Party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Are damages and attorney fees possible?

Yes, if allowed. The arbitrator may award the same damages as a court. This includes statutory, punitive, or treble damages if allowed by state or federal law. Arbitrators may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses if allowed by state or federal law. A Party may not recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator decides that the other Party’s Claim is frivolous and the arbitration rules allow it.

Is injunctive relief possible?

Yes, but only between the Parties. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief in favor of the individual Party seeking relief, but not in favor of others. The arbitrator may not award class, representative, or public injunctive relief.

If a court decides that these limits on public injunctive relief are not enforceable, then after any and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, the Claim for public injunctive relief must be severed from the arbitration. The Claim for public injunctive relief may then be brought in court after arbitration of the remaining Claims is completed.

Can an award be explained?

Yes. Either Party may request that the arbitrator explain his or her decision in writing, if such a request is made within fourteen (14) days of the decision. The Party requesting a written explanation is responsible for paying any additional fees required due to such request.

Can an award be enforced?

Yes. Either Party may seek to confirm, vacate, modify, or correct an arbitration award, in accordance with Sections 9-11 of the FAA, in the United States District Court for the federal judicial district where you live.

Other Options.

If you don’t want to arbitrate, can you participate in the Services?

Yes. You can get Hyve’s services and decide not to arbitrate.
Consider these choices:

1. Informal Dispute Resolution. Contact Hyve if an issue arises with respect to the Services and attempt to settle any Claims.
2. Opt-Out of Arbitration. Agree to the Terms of Use and then opt out of the Arbitration Agreement within sixty (60) days, as explained below.
3. Court. Seek to resolve Claims in court, within the limits of applicable law.

Can you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement?

Yes. Within 60 days. YOU MAY REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, BUT YOU MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY. If you do not wish to arbitrate Claims, you must notify Hyve in writing within sixty (60) days after you agree to the Terms of Use. You must send your request to Hyve via email, at arbitration@letshyve.com. The request must include your full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Agreement contained in the Terms of Use.” If you reject arbitration, the other terms of this Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect as if you had not rejected arbitration.

International disclosure of personal information: We are an international company, with offices in several countries. In some circumstances and for the purposes set out herein, we may disclose personal information to parties internationally, including our own offices located in other countries. The laws governing personal data protection vary and the country where your personal information is transferred may have different laws than those in the country in which you reside. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the arrangements we have in place with overseas parties impose appropriate privacy and confidentiality obligations on those parties to ensure that the personal information shared is kept secure and used only for the purposes noted herein.

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

When you enter sensitive information, such as a credit card number or financial information, on our forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at support@letshyve.com.

In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

Log in to your account settings and update your user account.

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.

Opting out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by contacting us using the details provided below. You will then be removed from the marketing email list — however, we may still communicate with you, for example to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

Your request to know or delete must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer 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 completing your request.

Verification process

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g. phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
