Privacy Policy
At Progressive Financial Planning Services, Inc. we are committed to safeguarding the confidential information of our clients. We hold all personal information provided by you to our firm in the strictest of confidence.
These records include all personal information that we collect from you in connection with any of the services provided by Progressive Financial Planning Services, Inc. We have never disclosed information to nonaffiliated third parties and do not anticipate doing so in the future. If we were to anticipate such a change to our policy, we would be prohibited by law to do so without first advising you.
As you know, we use health and financial information that you provide us to help you meet your personal financial goals. However, we do everything possible to guard you from any real or perceived infringements of your rights of privacy. Our policy with respect to personal information about you is as follows:
- The categories of nonpublic information we collect from our clients depends upon the scope of our relationship. It will include information about your personal finances, information about your health to the extent that it is needed for the planning process, information concerning transactions between you and third parties, and information from consumer reporting agencies.
- We limit access to information to only those employees and agents who have business or professional reasons to see it. The only nonaffiliated parties permitted access are those allowed by law and need the information to effect, administer, or enforce a transaction that you request or authorize. This may include allowing limited access to a brokerage firm so that it might execute securities transactions on your behalf, or so that our firm can discuss your financial situation with your accountant or lawyer.
- We also require strict confidentiality from any unaffiliated third parties that require access to your personal information. Examples of such third parties include financial services companies, consultants, auditors, Federal and state regulators. Again, anyone we permit access will be allowed by law, and will have a legitimate business or professional reason to do so.
- Personally identifiable information about you will be maintained during the time you are a client, and for the required time thereafter that such records are required to be maintained by federal and state securities laws, and consistent with the CFP® Board Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibilities. After this required period of record retention, all such information will be destroyed.
- We maintain a secure office and computer environment to ensure that your information is not placed at unreasonable risk. In addition, all paperwork is cross-shredded to ensure your confidentiality.
- We do not provide your personal information to mailing list vendors or solicitors for any purpose.
