Disclosure of Personal Information – Walls & Associates currently does not sell or rent any personally identifiable information to third parties. We may, however, use your personally identifiable information for internal purposes or for marketing purposes. If you do not wish to have your personal information disclosed, or if you wish to opt out of any future contact from the Walls & Associates, please let us know by calling us at the number provided above, emailing us at the above address, or writing to us at the above address. We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

• Information we receive from you on applications, tax organizers, worksheets, and/or other forms;
• Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others; and,
• Information we may receive from a consumer reporting agency.

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone, except as permitted by law or authorized by you. If you request your tax return(s) to be electronically filed, we do use a third party to transmit your returns to the Internal Revenue Service, West Virginia State Tax Department, Kentucky Department of Revenue, Ohio Department of Taxation and other state taxing agencies, and by so requesting, you are authorizing us to release information to those agencies and third-party processors. If you authorize us as a Third-Party Designee, you are authorizing us to release information about your tax return and its preparation to taxing authorities.

Please note: If you would like for us to be able to discuss your tax information with anyone other than yourself (e.g., a family member, bank representative, or attorney), please ask for a Release Form. We are prohibited by law from discussing your information with anyone other than the taxpayer(s) and others you authorize.

Confidentiality and Security – We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those officers, directors, and employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic information.

Our Commitment to Data Security – To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have ensured that appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures safeguard and secure the information we collect via e-mail and web server records.

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy – Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our web site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our web site is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How to Access or Correct Your Information – The only personally identifiable information that we collect on-line is that which you send via e-mail. You may request copies of your e-mails, request that they be deleted, or send corrections or amendments to the address or content you provide. Confirmation will be provided for any changes or deletions that you request.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before making corrections.
