| Information
We May Collect
In
providing you with financial products or services, we collect nonpublic
personal information (personally identifiable financial information
that is not publicly available) about you from information we receive
from you on applications, tax returns, net worth statements, or
other forms, by phone, mail or in person. Such information may include,
but is not limited to, wage and employment information, marital
status, residency and home ownership, tax liabilities and asset
and brokerage information. We may also use information about clients
from their transactions with us, or others.
Depending on the nature of a financial transaction, we may obtain
additional information about clients from third parties, such as
previous accountants, bookkeepers or tax preparers, securities broker-dealers,
bankers or attorneys.
Parties
to Whom We Disclose Information
For
current and former clients, we do not disclose any nonpublic personal
information obtained in the course of this practice except as required
or permitted by law. Under Massachusetts law, if you provide us
with information which you identify as confidential pursuant to
a professional engagement with us, we are not permitted to disclose
that information without your consent, except in response to a court
proceeding, to the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy, or
in the course of quality reviews of this firm.
Protecting
the Confidentiality and Security of Current and Former Clients'
Information
We
retain records relating to professional services that we provide
so that we are better able to assist you with your professional
needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines.
In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we restrict
access to your nonpublic personal information to those employees
who need to know the information to provide products or services
to you. Additionally, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that comply with our professional standards and with
federal regulations.
Former
Clients
Even
if you are no longer a client, this Privacy Policy will continue
to apply to you.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy, and any
of the policies described above, at any time.
If a change is made, you will be notified as soon as possible.
