Tarta Law Privacy Policy
Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Public Law Number 106-102, and the rule issued by the Federal Trade Commission regarding the Privacy of Consumer Financial Information, 16 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 313, law firms which provide tax preparation and tax planning services to their clients are categorized as financial service providers and are required to provide written notices to certain clients regarding disclosure of non-public personal information. As your attorneys, we collect non-public information about you from you, and with your authorization, from third parties such as accountants, financial advisors, insurance companies, their agents and employees, banking institutions, and other advisors. We do not disclose any non-public personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone except as permitted by law, or as authorized by that client. If we are authorized by you, we may disclose non-public personal information to unrelated third parties. Such unrelated third parties would include accountants, financial advisors, insurance agents, or government authorities in connection with any estate and tax planning documentation or tax returns prepared by us. We restrict access to non-public personal information about you to employees of our law firm who need to know the information in order to provide legal services to you, and we require those individuals to keep such information confidential. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with Federal Regulations and our rules of ethics to guard your non-public personal information.
Attorney Client Privilege
While the foregoing federal laws and regulations establish rules and disclosure requirements, they do not limit the attorney-client privilege or the confidentiality rules for information provided to attorneys. The privilege and confidentiality rules are governed by state law, the rules imposed on attorneys under the Code of Professional Conduct of the State of New Jersey. In circumstances where applicable federal laws might allow disclosure, we will continue to follow the stricter non-disclosure rules of attorney-client privilege and client confidentiality.
