Johns & Wilkinson considers client privacy to be fundamental to our relationship with our clients. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of clients’ personal information entrusted to us. Internal policies have been developed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing client needs to be served.
Johns & Wilkinson never discloses information to nonaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law. We use 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:
- • To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires us to obtain and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account Johns & Wilkinson will ask for your name, address, date of birth, social security or tax I.D. number, and driver’s license information.
- • Johns & Wilkinson does not sell client information ‐ whether it is your personal information or the fact that you are a client ‐ to anyone.
- • Johns & Wilkinson maintains a secure office and computer environment to ensure that your information is not placed at unreasonable risk.
- • The categories of nonpublic information that Johns & Wilkinson collects from a client depend upon the scope of the client relationship. It will include information about your personal finances, transactions and accounts with other financial institutions, wills and trusts, tax returns, qualified plan documents, and any other financial documents needed in the financial planning process.
- • For unaffiliated third parties that require access to your personal information, including financial services companies,
- • consultants, and auditors, Johns & Wilkinson also requires strict confidentiality in our agreements with them and expects them to keep this information private. Federal regulators may also review our firm records as permitted by law.
- • Year‐end account information, requested on your behalf (e.g., client accountant, attorney, etc.) will only be released upon receiving your prior approval. At no time, shall such information be released without authorized approval.
- • Personal 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 securities laws. After this required period of record retention, all such information will be destroyed.
