Appraisers, along with all providers of financial services, are
now required by federal law to inform their clients of the
policies of the firm with regard to the privacy of client
nonpublic personal information. As professionals, we understand
that your privacy is very important to you and we are pleased to
provide you with this information.
Types of Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect
In the course of performing appraisals, we may collect what is
known as “nonpublic personal information” about you. This
information is used to facilitate the services that we provide
to you and may include the information provided to us by you
directly, or received by us from others with your authorization.
Parties to Whom We Disclose Information
We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained
in the course of our engagement with our clients to
nonaffiliated third parties except as necessary or as required
by law. By way of example, a necessary disclosure would be to
our employees, and in certain situations, to unrelated third
party consultants who need to know that information to assist us
in providing appraisal services to you. All of our employees and
any third party consultants we employ are informed that any
information they see as part of an appraisal assignment is to be
maintained in strict confidence within the firm.
A disclosure required by law would be a disclosure by us that is
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction with regard to a
legal action to which you are a party.
Confidentiality and Security
We will retain records relating to professional services that we
have provided to you for a reasonable time so that we are better
able to assist you with your needs. In order to protect your
nonpublic personal information from unauthorized access by third
parties, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards that comply with our professional standards to insure
the security and integrity of your information.
Please feel free to call us at any time if you have any
questions about the confidentiality of the information that you
provide to us.
