Northeast Investors Trust
Privacy Policy Statement
Northeast Investors Trust recognizes and respects the privacy of its
shareholders and to that end is committed to the following:
The Trust collects, retains and uses shareholder information for the purpose of
administering its operations, providing shareholder service, and complying
with legal and regulatory requirements. We do not sell, exchange or share
shareholder information with outside organizations unless the third party is
essential in administering our operations. For example, we work with our
custodian bank, State Street Bank & Trust Company, to assist in providing
payments to shareholders.
The Trust makes every effort to maintain the most up to date, complete and accurate shareholder and account information. If you believe any information is inaccurate please call us at 800-225- 6704. We will investigate the problem, and if it is determined that the information is incorrect, we will take appropriate action quickly and according to industry practices and applicable law. Shareholder information is accessible only by authorized employees or as set forth below. Our employees are responsible to protect the confidentiality of shareholder information and are subject to appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce that responsibility.
The Trust maintains appropriate safeguards regarding shareholders information.
This includes use of security procedures to prevent revealing shareholder
information to inappropriate or unauthorized sources.
The Trust does not reveal specific information about shareholders or their
accounts to unaffiliated third parties with the following exceptions:
