Information We Collect from You

We collect certain nonpublic personal identifying information about you (such as your name, address, social security number, date of birth, etc.) from information that you provide on applications or other forms as well as communications (electronic, telephone, written or in person) with you or your authorized representatives (such as your attorney, accountant, etc.). We also collect information about your bank accounts and transactions (such as bills and invoices paid, account balances, inquiries, etc.), information to process transactions or to conduct online transactions.

Information from Third Parties

Though we do not normally collect information from third parties about our clients, there may be occasions when we have to do so, primarily from your other financial advisors. In those cases, we need to be able to rely on the correctness, accuracy and timeliness of the information provided to us by third parties.

Information We Share

We share information with third parties only in a limited way to conduct business and provide service to customers, or as required by applicable law or court order. In general, the only information that would be shared would be with your financial advisors such as financial planners, investment advisors and tax accountants. Such sharing is authorized in the Engagement Letter which you signed upon retaining our services. The details of such sharing are spelled out in the authorization page where we are given explicit permission to share, and only as specified. These permissions may be rescinded or modified by you, in writing, at any time.

Medical Information

We only collect medical information to the extent that you send us medical bills and invoices for payment. We only share medical information if you have asked us to coordinate medical bill payment and insurance claims processing with a specialist firm you have retained for that purpose via a separate engagement letter with that firm. You may rescind or modify the sharing of this information, in writing, at any time.

What Information We Disclose

We do not disclose the nonpublic personal information we collect about you to anyone except as permitted by law.
