Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy – Introduction
Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act generally prohibits any financial institution, directly or through its affiliates, from sharing nonpublic personal financial information (“Personal Information”) about you with a non-affiliated third party unless the institution provides you with a notice of its privacy policies and practices, such as the type of information that it collects about you and the categories of persons or entities to whom it may be disclosed. In compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, we are providing you with this Privacy Policy Notice, which sets out the privacy policies and practices of Burd Raulston, PLLC.
We believe that, in making you aware of how we use your Personal Information, and to whom it is disclosed, this will form the basis for a relationship of trust between us and the public whom we serve.
Our Policies Regarding the Protection of the Confidentiality and Security of Your Personal Information
In the course of our business, we may collect Personal Information about you from the following sources:
Information we receive from you or your authorized representative on applications or other forms;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others;
- Information we receive from our internet web sites;
- Information we receive from the public records maintained by governmental entities that we either obtain directly from those entities or from our affiliates or others; and
- Information we receive from consumers or other reporting agencies.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access or intrusion. We limit access to your nonpublic personal financial information only to those employees who need such access in connection with providing products or services to you or for other legitimate business purposes.
Unless it is specifically stated otherwise in an amended Privacy Policy Notice, no additional Personal Information will be collected about you.
Disclosure of nonpublic personal information
We may disclose your Personal Information with our underwriters and other real estate settlement service providers. We also may disclose your Personal Information to:
- agents, brokers, or representatives to provide you with services you have requested; and
- affiliated contractors or service providers who provide services in the course of our business, but only to the extent necessary for these providers to perform their services and to provide these services to you as may be required by your transaction.
- In addition, we will disclose your Personal Information when you direct or give us permission, when we are required by law to do so, or when we suspect fraudulent or criminal activities. We also may disclose your Personal Information when otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws such as, for example, when disclosure is needed to enforce our rights arising out of any agreement, transaction, or relationship with you.
WE DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO ANYONE FOR ANY PURPOSE THAT IS NOT STATED ABOVE OR SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED BY LAW.
Former Customers
Even if you are no longer our customer, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply. We may store your information indefinitely, including the period after which any customer relationship ceased.
