Millikin Mandt Associates, Inc, an independent recordkeeping, administration and
planning firm, is committed to
safeguarding the confidential information of its clients. We hold all personal information
provided to our firm in the strictest confidence. These records include all personal
information that we collect from you in connection with any of the services provided
by Millikin Mandt Associates,
Inc. We have never disclosed information to nonaffiliated
third parties, except as permitted by law, and do not anticipate doing so in the
future. If we were to anticipate such a change in firm policy, we would be prohibited
under the law from doing so without advising you first. As you know, we use health
and financial information that you provide to us to help you meet your personal
financial goals while guarding against any real or perceived infringements of your
rights of privacy. Our policy with respect to personal information about you is
listed below.
- We limit employee and agent access to information only to those who
have a business or professional reason for knowing, and only to nonaffiliated parties
as permitted by law. (For example, federal regulations permit us to share a limited
amount of information about you with a brokerage firm in order to execute securities
transactions on your behalf, or when you have authorized our firm to discuss your
financial situation with your accountant or lawyer.)
- We maintain a secure office
and computer environment to ensure that your information is not placed at unreasonable
risk.
- The categories of nonpublic personal information that we collect from a client
depend upon the scope of the client engagement. It will include information about
your personal finances, information about your health to the extent that it is needed
for the planning process, information about transactions between you and third parties,
and information about transactions between you and third parties.
- For unaffiliated third parties
that require access to your personal information, including financial service companies,
consultants, and auditors, we also require strict confidentiality in our agreements
with them and expect them to keep this information private. Federal and state regulators
also may review firm records as permitted by law.
- We do not provide your personally
identifiable information to mailing list vendors or solicitors for any purpose.
-
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 Responsibility. After this required period
of record retention, all such information will be destroyed.
