Privacy Policy

Longview Financial Advisors, Inc. (referred to as “LFA”) maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect its clients’ nonpublic personal information (“information”).  Through this policy and its underlying procedures, LFA attempts to secure the confidentiality of customer records and information and protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of customer records and information.

It is the policy of LFA to restrict access to all current and former clients’ information (i.e., information and records pertaining to personal background, investment objectives, financial situation, tax information/returns, investment holdings, account numbers, account balances, etc.) to those employees and affiliated/nonaffiliated entities who need to know that information in order to provide products or services in furtherance of the client’s engagement of LFA.  In that regard, LFA may disclose the client’s information: (1) to individuals and/or entities not affiliated with LFA, including, but not limited to: the client’s other professional advisors and certain service providers that may be recommended or engaged by LFA in furtherance of  the client’s engagement of LFA  (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance agent, broker-dealer, investment adviser, account custodian, record keeper, etc.); (2) required to do so by judicial or regulatory process; or (3) otherwise permitted to do so in accordance with the parameters of applicable federal and/or state privacy regulations.  The disclosure of information contained in any document completed by the client for processing and/or transmittal by LFA to facilitate the commencement/continuation/termination of a business relationship between the client and/or between LFA  and a nonaffiliated third party service provider  (i.e., broker-dealer, investment adviser, account custodian, record keeper,  insurance company, etc.), including, but not limited to,  information contained in any document completed and/or executed by the client in furtherance  of  the client’s engagement of LFA (i.e., advisory agreement, client information form, etc.), shall be deemed as having been automatically authorized by the client with respect to the corresponding nonaffiliated third-party service provider.

Employees violating LFA’s Privacy Policy will be subject to LFA’s disciplinary process.  Additionally, whenever LFA hires other organizations to provide services to LFA’s clients, LFA will either ask them to sign LFA’s confidentiality agreement and/or Privacy Policy or ask for a copy of the other provider’s confidentiality agreement/privacy policy to ensure it is in agreement with LFA’s policies.
