Our firm has always protected our client's right to privacy in accordance with the law and with our own professional standards of confidentiality, and we will continue to do so.

We collect nonpublic personal information about you that is either provided to us by you or obtained by us with your express authorization. "Nonpublic personal information" means any personal information that is generally not known to the public, such as bank account numbers or passport numbers.

It is the policy of our firm to never disclose nonpublic personal information, or any other information, about our former or current clients except either as required or permitted by law or with your authorization. Permitted disclosures include, for instance, providing information to our employees, and in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need to know that information to assist us in providing services to you. In all circumstances, however, we stress the confidential nature of the information being shared.

We retain records relating to the professional services that we provide to you so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and to also ensure that we are in compliance with our professional guidelines. In addition, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with government regulations to guard our client's nonpublic personal information and to ensure that our client's privacy is consistently maintained.

Basic information collected by us may be used for general marketing and advertising purposes. Users who provide information may receive email announcements or advertisements.
