Privacy & Security of Client Information
At Breedlove & Associates, we vigilantly protect the privacy and security of
our clients personal and financial information. First, we utilize 256-bit AES encryption
technology to safeguard all information relating to our clients and their employees.
Additionally, our client service site is verified with a 2048-bit SSL certificate
from VeriSign. These are widely considered the most secure protocols on the market
today. Second, we never sell, loan, trade or share client information with any third
parties. Third, we restrict information access to: (a) our employees who must be
physically onsite and have access to current password protocol, and (b) federal
and state tax entities in adherence with tax reporting requirements. Fourth, we
invest in rigorous document security and on-site document destruction. Finally,
we utilize the most secure electronic payment and funds transfer companies and protocols
available.
Our procedures exceed recommended Best Practices for information security and privacy
and have resulted in zero breaches since we were formed in 1992. As technologies
change, we promise to continually update our protocols in order to maintain the
highest standards of privacy and security – ensuring that every one of our clients
and their employees can continue to have complete peace of mind regarding their
personal and financial information.
