Our commitment to Your Privacy:
NWT
Financial Group, LLC (“NWTF”) has a longstanding policy of
protecting the confidentiality and security of information
we collect about customers. We will not share nonpublic
information about you (“Information”) without your consent,
except for specific purposes described below. This notice
describes the Information we may gather and the
circumstances under which we may share it.
Why We
Collect and How We Use Information:
We
limit the collection and use of Information to the minimum
we require to deliver superior service to you. Such service
includes maintaining your accounts with us, processing
transactions requested by you and administering our
business.
How We Gather Information:
We get most
Information directly from you, when you apply for, access
and use financial products and services offered by our
firm. We may verify this information or get additional
information from consumer reporting agencies or public
sources. This Information may relate to your finances,
employment, as well as transactions and interactions with
our firm or others.
How We Protect Information:
Our
employees are required to protect the confidentiality of
Information and to comply with our established policies.
They may access Information only when there is an
appropriate reason to do so, such as to administer our
products or services. We also maintain physical, electronic
and procedural safeguards to protect Information, which
comply with all applicable laws. Employees who violate our
Privacy Policy are subject to disciplinary process.
Disclosure of Information:
We may
disclose any Information to or when we believe it necessary
for the conduct of our business, or where law requires
disclosure. For example, Information may be disclosed for
audit or research purposes, to attorneys or other
professionals, or to law enforcement and regulatory
agencies, for example, to help prevent fraud. In addition,
we may disclose Information to third party services
providers (i) to enable them to provide business services
for our firm, such as performing computer related data
maintenance or processing services for our firm, (ii) to
facilitate the processing of transactions requested by you,
(iii), to assist us in offering products and services to
you, or (iv) for credit review and reporting purposes.
Except in those specific, limited situations, without your
consent, we will not make any disclosures of Information to
other companies who may want to sell their products or
services to you. For example, we do not sell customer lists
and we will not sell your name to a catalogue company. It
is NWTF’s policy to require all third parties that are to
receive any Information to sign strict confidentiality
agreements.
Former Customers:
Even if you
are no longer a customer of our firm, our Privacy Policy
will continue to apply.
Access to and Correction of Information:
If
you desire to review any file we may maintain for your
personal Information, please contact us. If you notify us
that any Information is incorrect, we will review it. If we
agree, we will correct our records. If we do not agree, you
may submit a short statement of dispute, which we will
include in future disclosures of disputed Information.
Information collected in connection with, or in anticipation
of, any claim or legal proceeding will not be made
available.
Further Information:
We reserve
the right to change this Privacy Policy. The examples
contained within this Privacy Policy are illustrations and
they are not intended to be exclusive. This notice complies
with a recently enacted Federal Law and new SEC regulations
regarding privacy. You may have additional rights under
other foreign or domestic laws that may apply to you. |
