Collection Purposes, Limitations on Collection, Use, Disclosure and Retention – Any and all personal, corporate, financial and related information is collected and kept solely for the purpose of providing advice and to ensure that any products or services you purchase through me are provided quickly and correctly. In order to obtain products for you, I am required to share your personal information with insurers through intermediary brokerage firms. I only collect and keep information that helps me formulate advice including personal, financial and healthy information.

3. Consent – The nature of my work means I and my staff must collect and retain personal information about your financial needs and to identify possible solutions to problems you might have.

You also allow me to share your information with client relationship management software vendors and financial analysis software vendors for the sole purpose of managing, organizing and analyzing your data to that I can provide better service and solutions to you.

However, you have the right to choose a different agent at that time if you wish. You may withdraw your consent at any time (subject to legal or contractual obligations) and on providing me with reasonable notice by contacting me. Withdrawing your consent may prevent me from providing you with requested products or services and may end our business relationship.

4. Information Accuracy – I rely on receiving accurate information in order to make appropriate recommendations. You may review the personal information I retain about you upon request.
