Annual Privacy Disclosure Statement - Third-Party Disclosures

Dear Client:

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, financial institutions must provide their customers with a "clear and conspicuous" notice about their privacy policies and practices; the conditions under which they disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties; and how consumers can prevent the disclosure of their information. You already may have received such notices from the banks and brokerage firms with which you do business. 

Following the passage of this legislation, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued detailed rules on these privacy notices, including to whom they should apply. In those rules, the FTC defined "financial institutions" to include all those who provide "financial or investment advisory services." In turn, the FTC rules chose to broadly interpret "financial or investment advisory activities" to cover "tax planning and tax preparation." 

In compliance with the FTC rules, printed below is our firm's current Privacy Disclosure Statement. Be assured that this firm has always considered our professional relationship with you to be one requiring the utmost trust and confidence. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions about this notice.
