Privacy Policy
We value your trust and confidence and we want to assure you
your personal information is kept completely confidential by us.
As a Certified Public Account and member of the AICPA , we
adhere to the highest level of professional ethical responsibility
and obligations to protect the confidentiality of all client
information.
This Privacy Policy is to help you understand what information
we collect about you, the limited time we may share it with
others, and what measures we take to protect your privacy.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
In order to meet your needs in the course of tax return
preparation, tax and financial planning, and tax compliance
engagements for you, we collect various types of personal
information about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you in person, by the
phone, mail or e-mail, through our web site, on tax
preparation worksheets, and on other documents for
forms we use in preparing your tax return or providing
other services for you. Such information includes, for
instance, your name, address, social security number,
income, investment and other assets, and other tax and
financial information about you.
- Information we receive from others about your
transactions or relationships with them. Such
information includes, for instance, investment, loan or
banking activity, balances or account numbers, legal
agreements and documents, and other information we
gather in the course of providing services to you.
- Information we receive from you when your browser
interacts with our website. This could include
information transmitted on an internet “cookie,” such as
your password to our site, your preferences on the site,
and your internet service provider’s address.
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting
agency, such as your credit history and outstanding loan
balances.
Is Personal Information Shared with Others?
We do not share any personal information about you with
anyone without your express consent, except as permitted by
law and as described below.
The law permits or requires disclosure in certain instances,
such as if we must share information to protect against fraud,
in response to a court subpoena, or a part of actual or
threatened legal proceedings for alternate dispute resolution.
We may share any information we collect (except for consumer
reporting agency information, which we do not disclose) to non
affiliated companies which perform support services on our
behalf (such as tax or data processing, transmission of
electronic returns or data, records retention, and mailing
services). We do not sell or otherwise disclose our client list or
any of your information to outside companies for their
marketing or solicitation use.
We may also share your information with other parties who
help assure our compliance with professional accounting
standards (such as per review), or who conduct due diligence
procedures, such as if we consider a sale or merger of our
practice.
How Do We Protect the Confidentiality and Security of Your
Personal Information?
Keeping your information confidential and secure is of utmost
importance to us. We follow standard industry practices to
actively protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of your
personal information. We also maintain physical, electronic,
and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information.
Our employees are bound by internal confidentiality policies
and are subject to disciplinary action for any policy violations.
We take appropriate precautions such as confidentiality
agreements before sharing your information with any outside
parties.
Should you become an inactive client or should our relationship
end, we will continue to protect the confidentiality and security of
your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Our Pledge to You
As a Certified Public Accountant, our professional ethical
obligations and responsibilities have always demanded no
less than the highest regard and duties for the confidentiality of
your personal information and the security of your privacy. We
will protect your personal information, use it only as necessary,
and perform our engagements so as to always maintain your
trust and confidence in us.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service, we truly value our
relationship with you. We hope you view our firm as your most
trusted advisor, and we will work to continue earning that trust.
Please call us anytime you have questions or we may be of
further service.
