Your privacy is important to us.  Maintaining your trust and confidence is one of our highest priorities.  We respect your right to keep your personal financial information confidential and we understand your desire to avoid unwanted solicitations.


A recent law change requires us, as well as banks, brokerage houses and  other financial institutions, to disclose our privacy policy to you.  We hope that by taking a few moments to read it you will have a better understanding of  what we do with the information you provide us and how we keep it private and secure.


We collect certain personal information about you, but only when that information is provided by you, or is obtained by us with your authorization.  We use the information to prepare your financial and bookkeeping records.  We may also use it to provide various tax and planning services to you at your request.


Examples of sources from which we collect information include:


*    Interviews
*    Telephone Calls
*    Correspondence
*    Email/Faxed Documents
*    Financial Records Provided To Us
 

As a general rule, we do not disclose any information  regarding our clients or past clients to anyone.  However, to the extent permitted by law and any applicable state "Code of Professional Conduct" certain information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:


*  To comply with a validly issued and enforceable subpoena or summon


*   In the course of a review of our practices under the authorization of a state or national licensing board or as necessary to properly respond to an inquiry or complaint from such a licensing board or organization in conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale or merger of all or part of our practice provided that we take appropriate precautions (for example through a written confidentiality agreement) so the prospective purchaser does not disclose information obtained in the  course of the review.


*   As a part of any actual or threatened legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings either initiated by or against us, provided we disclose only the information necessary to  file, pursue or defend against the lawsuit and take reasonable precautions to ensure that  the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.


*   To provide information to affiliates of the firm and non affiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed (example:  using an outside service to process tax returns or engage a records retention agency to store prior year records.)


Except as otherwise described in this notice, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to employees of our firm and other parties who must use that information to provide services to you.  Their right to further disclose and use the information is limited by the policies of our firm applicable law, our "Code of Professional Conduct" and non disclosure agreements where appropriate.  We also maintain physical electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations to guard your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration or premature destruction.


Please feel free to call us our branch office at (503)693-7958, or send us an email, should you have any questions regarding our company's privacy disclosure statement.
