Like all providers of personal financial services, tax professionals are required by law to inform clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. Our firm continues to adhere to professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. We have always protected the security and privacy of your personal and financial information.
Types of Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect
The only nonpublic personal information we collect is provided to us by you or obtained with your authorization.
Parties to Whom We Disclose Information
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as required or permitted by law. Permitted disclosures may include providing information to our employees, or, in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need that information to assist us in serving you. In all situations, we stress the confidential nature of the information being shared.
Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Clients' Information
We retain records relating to our professional services to better serve your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to protect your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.
This office is committed to using safeguards that protect your information from data theft. To further protect your identity, you can also take steps to stop thieves. IRS Publication 4524
(www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4524.pdf) outlines simple steps that help you keep your computer secure, avoid phishing and malware, and protect your personal information.
In order that we may properly advise you of tax considerations, please keep us informed of any significant changes in your financial affairs or of any correspondence received from taxing authorities.
If you have any questions, or if we can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Bobbi D. Clark, CPA
