B. Parties to Whom We Disclose Information
As a general rule, we do not disclose personal information about our clients or former clients or their employees to anyone who is not directly related to the performance of the services provided to you. However, to the extent permitted by law and any applicable state code of professional conduct, certain nonpublic information about you or your employees may be disclosed in the following situations:
• To comply with a validly issued and enforceable subpoena or summons.
• In conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our practice, provided that we take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality / non-disclosure agreement) so the prospective purchaser or merger partner, and their respective representatives, do not disclose information obtained in the course of the review.
• As a part of any actual or threatened legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings either initiated by or against us, provided we disclose only the information necessary to file, pursue, or defend against the lawsuit and take reasonable precautions to ensure that the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.
• To provide information to affiliates of the firm and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed. (An example of such disclosure would be an accounting firm preparing tax returns).
Confidentiality and Security of Nonpublic Personal Information
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you and your employees to employees of our company and other parties who must use that information to provide services to you. Their right to further disclose and use the information is limited by the policies of our company, applicable law, and nondisclosure agreements where appropriate.
