BFG will not disclose your personal information to anyone unless it is required by law or at your direction. We will not sell your personal information.

We want our clients to understand what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your personal information.

Why We Collect Your Information

We gather information about you so that we can:

• Help design and implement the investment and financial planning-related services we provide you; and
• Comply with the Federal and State laws and regulations that govern us.

What Information We Collect and Maintain

We may collect the following types of “nonpublic personal information” (“NPI”) about you:

• Information from our initial meeting or subsequent consultations about your identity, such as your name, address, social security number, date of birth, and financial information;
• Information that we generate to service your financial needs; and

Former Clients

Even if we cease to provide you with financial services, our Privacy Policy will continue to apply to you, and we will continue to treat your nonpublic information with strict confidentiality. We maintain all records regarding all former clients for the retention period required by law.

What Information We Disclose

We are permitted by law to disclose nonpublic information about you to unaffiliated third parties in certain circumstances.
