This Privacy Policy is provided on behalf of The Law Office of John D Smith PLLC

Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Biiley (GLB) Act in 1999, which deals in part with how the financial services industry handles nonpublic personal financial information. The Law Office of John D Smith PLLC recognizes that the foundation of our business is maintaining your trust and confidence. In order to provide you with the most effective and beneficial service, we must maintain information about you. Keeping that information secure and private is important to us. This notice is provided to you so that you may know how we collect information about you, the type of information we collect, what we may disclose to our affiliates and non-affiliated third parties, and the steps we take to protect personal information about you.
