We may share certain client information with third parties as necessary to provide the client with requested services and to administer client business. Confidentiality is maintained with these third parties and no other information is exchanged with any third party unless specifically authorized by the client or required by law. Client contact information such as name, physical address and email address along with prior services utilized may be maintained by the company for reasons such as to enable future communication or to inform the client of new services they may be interested in. Any financial data gathered is used strictly for the purpose of processing or completing the financial transaction for the client order.
