Privacy Policy Update (email sent in May 2018)

 

We are reaching out to you as a valued contact of BFM in light of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) taking effect on May 25. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us at BFM. As you may know, the GDPR applies to all companies that collect and/or process personal data of citizens of the European Economic Area.
In line with BFM’ longstanding commitment to securing our customers’ most confidential information, we have developed a comprehensive GDPR compliance program and are extending its privacy protections to all of our customers globally. So, as always, you can rest assured that we process your personal information in a transparent and secure way and in accordance with best industry practices. If you’d like to customize or discontinue the content you receive from BFM, please take a moment to update your email preferences at the bottom of this email.
 

The GDPR is designed to protect personal data, and addresses how organizations approach the privacy and protection of personal information. It is is a new framework for data protection in the EU designed to give greater protection and rights to individuals on the processing of their personal information.

 

For more information on the GDPR, visit https://ico.org.uk/ or https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
 
You will continue to receive emails from us and we hope that you find our communications of interest, and we appreciate the ability to share thought leadership, and relevant information. Should you no longer wish to receive communications from us, you may opt out at any time (including via the link at the bottom of this email) and we will stop sending you these communications.
 
We have also updated our privacy notices below.

Bourbon Financial Management, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "BFM," "we," "us," or "our") are committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals who utilize our site or legal services. Bourbon Financial Management, LLC is the data controller of the personal data collected, and is responsible for the processing of your personal data.
The privacy notice (the "Notice") explains how we collect, use and safeguard the information you may provide to us via this website and other domains owned and operated by Bourbon Financial Management, LLC. The Notice also informs you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you. Certain other Bourbon Financial Management, LLC websites (e.g., client extranets) may be operated under separate agreements having additional terms and conditions.

It is important that you read this Notice together with any other notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them. In the event of a conflict between this Notice and another notice which applies to a specific site or engagement (i.e., a client extranet), the latter shall prevail over this Notice to the extent of the conflict.

Please note, if you reply to one of our marketing emails or otherwise send a communication to us, such communication does not create an attorney-client relationship with us. As such, please do not send any information that you consider confidential unless and until we have agreed in writing to represent you with respect to such matter. Any information provided to us prior to such agreement may not be protectable from disclosure and may not be subject to attorney-client privilege.

Please review the following to understand how we process and safeguard personal data about you. By using our website or otherwise obtaining services from us, and/or by voluntarily providing personal data to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the practices contained in this Privacy Notice. This Notice may be revised from time to time, so please ensure that you check this Notice periodically to remain fully informed.

We collect a variety of personal data (meaning information about an individual from which that person can be identified) from and about you, in a number of situations. What data we collect will depend on the specific circumstances:

You have choices about certain information we collect. When you are asked to provide information, you may decline to do so; but if you choose not to provide information that is necessary for us to collect by law or to perform a contract, we may not be able to enter into or perform such contract or perform other obligations with respect to you. In addition, as noted below in the section captioned "Your Choices" it is possible to change your browser settings to block the automatic collection of certain information.
We also collect data that is not identifiable to you or otherwise associated with you, such as aggregated data, and is not personal data. To the extent this data is stored or associated with personal data, it will be treated as personal data; otherwise, that data is not subject to this notice.
In the event that you provide us with information about another person, you must ensure that you have the right to provide that information and, as appropriate, that they understand how their information will be used by us.

We process personal data as follows:
 
Operational and Marketing Uses. We process your personal data as part of our business operations and for marketing, which include:

Legal Bases for Processing. We process personal data for, or based on, one or more of the following legal bases:

Sharing of Personal Data. Some of the above processing involves sharing collected personal data with third parties, including service providers, affiliates, and other partners. This occurs in the following circumstances:

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Because security is important to both Bourbon Financial Management, LLC and you, we employ reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of personal data. If you suspect unauthorized access to your information, you should contact Bourbon Financial Management, LLC immediately as provided in the section captioned "Additional Information and Assistance" below.
No method of safeguarding information is completely secure. While we use measures designed to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will be effective or sufficient. In addition, you should be aware that Internet data transmission is not always secure, and we cannot warrant that information you transmit to us through the Internet is or will be secure.

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, as well as to the extent we deem necessary to carry out the processing activities described above, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules and requests of relevant law enforcement and/or other governmental agencies, and to the extent we reasonably deem necessary to protect our and our partners’ rights, property, or safety, and the rights, property, and safety of our users and other third parties. For details on the retention periods applicable to specific elements of your personal data, please contact us as provided in the section captioned "Additional Information and Assistance" below.

You have a variety of legal rights regarding the collection and processing of personal data. You may exercise these rights, to the extent they apply to you, by contacting us as provided in the section captioned "Additional Information and Assistance" below, or by following the instructions provided in this Privacy Notice or in communications we send to you. Please be prepared to provide reasonable information to identify yourself and authenticate your requests.

Please note, however, that we reserve the right to deny access as permitted or required by applicable law.
 
Your California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the "Shine the Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal data (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. Requests may be made only once per year per person, must be sent to the email address below, and are free of charge.
 
We do not disclose personal data protected under the "Shine the Light" law to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
