TYPES OF NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION I COLLECT

I collect nonpublic personal information about you that is either provided to me by you or obtained by me with your authorization.

PARTIES TO WHOM I DISCLOSE INFORMATION

For current and former clients, I do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of my practice except as required or permitted by law. Permitted disclosures include, for instance, providing information to my employees and, in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need to know that information to assist me in providing services to you. In all such situations, I stress the confidential nature of information being shared.

PROTECTING THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF CURRENT AND FORMER CLIENTS’ INFORMATION

I retain records relating to professional services that I provide so that I am better able to assist you with your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, I maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that
comply with my professional standards.

Please call if you have any questions, because your privacy, my professional ethics, and the ability to provide you with quality financial services are of the utmost importance to me.
