What personal information we collect
When you log in to your Delaware Funds by Macquarie® account online, we may collect certain personal information about the web pages you visit and the products you view, including your name, email address, and associated firm (if applicable).
We also allow users to subscribe to quarterly fact sheets and a few other non-public sections of the website.
We also may collect certain non-personal information about you, such as how long you visited our webpage.
We also allow you to review and request changes to the personal information we collect about you through our website, such as information on a user’s profile page (if applicable). To make a change, please update your information on your profile page when you log in or call the sales desk (877 693-3546) and ask to speak to an internal consultant.
How we use your personal information
The personal information we collect when you visit our website (including small files stored on your device that are commonly referred to as “cookies”) allows us to understand your use of our website and to advise you of any products or services that may be of interest to you. It helps us to improve our services, content and marketing. We also use the personal information we collect from your visits to our website to develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, marketing, and website.
You can change your cookie preferences by changing the setting on your web browser to delete or reject cookies. If you delete or reject cookies, some website pages may not function properly.
Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to our website. There is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.

We do not disclose personal information collected from your visits to our website to third parties other than in accordance with our privacy notice issued to you pursuant to Regulation S-P, 17 CFR Part 248, et seq.
Third party sites and services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. Information collected by third parties, which may include such things as personal information, is governed by the third parties’ privacy practices. You should review the privacy practices of any third party whose website you visit via a link on our website to understand their policies and privacy practices. Personal information we collect based on your visit to our website is not disclosed to any third party sites you link to from our website.
Changes to our privacy policy
From time to time we may update or revise our web privacy policy. To the extent we make any material changes to our policy, we will notify you the next time you visit our site.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of our potential, current, and former customers. To provide the products and services you request, we must collect personal information about you. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We collect your personal information and share it with third parties as necessary to provide you with the products or services you request and to administer your business with us. This notice describes our current privacy practices. While your relationship with us continues, we will update and send our privacy practices notice as required by law. We are committed to continuing to protect your personal information even after that relationship ends. You do not need to take any action because of this notice.
We collect personal information about you to help us identify you as our potential, current, or former customer; to process your requests and transactions; to offer investment services to you; or to tell you about our products or services we believe you may want to use. The type of personal information we collect depends on the products or services you request and may include the following:
We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about our potential, current, and former customers unless allowed or required by law. We may share your personal information within our companies and with certain service providers. They use this information to process transactions you have requested; provide customer service; and inform you of products or services we offer that you may find useful. Our service providers may or may not be affiliated with us. They include financial service providers (for example, third-party administrators; broker/dealers; and other financial services companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements). Our service providers also include nonfinancial companies and individuals (for example, consultants; information services vendors; and companies that perform mailing or marketing services on our behalf). Information obtained from a report prepared by a service provider may be kept by the service provider and shared with other persons; however, we require our service providers to protect your personal information and to use or disclose it only for the work they are performing for us, or as permitted by law.
We also may provide information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement officials, and others to prevent fraud or when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure. In the event of a sale of all or part of our businesses, we may share customer information as part of the sale. We do not sell or share your information with outside marketers who may want to offer you their own products and services.
Keeping your information safe is one of our most important responsibilities. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. Our employees are authorized to access your information only when they need it to provide you with products and services or to maintain your accounts. Employees who have access to your personal information are required to keep it strictly confidential. We provide training to our employees about the importance of protecting the privacy of your information.
