Privacy Policy Disclosures required for compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Public Law 106-102 (FTC 16 CFR Part 313) CPAs, like all providers of personal financial services, are now required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. Certified Public Accountants have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. CPAs have always protected your right to privacy. What Types of Nonpublic Information Does the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Cover? As your CPA, I collect nonpublic personal information that is provided by you or obtained by us from third parties with your authorization. This may include discussions, applications, tax organizers, worksheets, information on transactions, consumer reporting agencies and other forms, documents and information I use in the course of providing tax preparation and/or consulting services. Parties to Whom I Disclose Information For current and former clients, I do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as required or permitted by law. 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. Disclosures may be made to other affiliated third parties with your advance notice and consent. In all such situations the confidential nature of information being shared is stressed. Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Current and Former Clients Information I retain records relating to professional services that I provide so that I am better able to assist you with your professional needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. I restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to members of my firm who need to know that information to provide services to you. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, I maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with professional standards. Information stored online is done so on secure servers located in a SAS-70 Type II compliant datacenter. I appreciate the trust and confidence you place in Raymond W. Crump, CPA, PC. to safeguard your personal information. If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, please dont hesitate to call.
