Black Swan Financial, Inc. Privacy Policy - Business

Confidentiality includes the identity of clients. There should not be any disclosure of either the identity of clients or the nature of their business with the firm, or of any information regarding their assets, liabilities, income, or estate planning details.

Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, personally identifiable information, such as: names of clients or prospects and their family members, social security numbers, dates of birth, drivers license numbers, passport numbers, custodians, account numbers, names of securities that they hold, numbers of shares of securities, gains or losses on securities, custodian statements, tax return information, insurance policies, cash flow statements, retirement plan statements, estate planning documents, stock option statements, and similar highly-sensitive personal information.
