5. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Notice and how we share your information

We do not sell your Personal Information.

As a provider of financial and tax-related services, we collect and maintain certain information that may qualify as “non-public personal information” under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). This information includes details you provide on applications, tax documents, onboarding forms, and related materials; as well as information about your transactions and interactions with us or with others in connection with the services we provide. We also collect information received from consumer reporting agencies, identity verification tools, or other verification services.

We may share non-public personal information with our affiliates and trusted service providers as permitted by federal law and only as needed to deliver our services. These parties must protect your information and may use it only for the services we request.  

We may also share Personal Information when you provide written permission in connection with corporate transactions (e.g., mergers, acquisition, reorganization, hiring needs); to comply with law or legal processes; to protect against fraud or harmful activity; to satisfy regulatory obligations (e.g., anti-money laundering reporting). We may aggregate or de-identify Personal Information; transfer information as part of business transactions; engage vendors for hosting, customer support or payment processing, cloud services, communications support or analytics.  Our Site may link to third-party integrations; we do not control their privacy practices, and you should review their policies. We comply with applicable breach notification laws and provide GLBA-compliant privacy notices and opt-out rights where applicable.

6. Generative Artificial Intelligence

We may utilize third-party generative artificial intelligence (AI) services to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of our tax preparation processes. When these services are used, we share only the data that is essential for the relevant task. AI providers are contractually prohibited from using, retaining, or disclosing your information for any purpose other than delivering the requested services. They may not train models using your data or retain it longer than necessary to complete the task. 

All such providers are carefully evaluated for their expertise and are bound by contractual obligations requiring them to protect your information, maintain strict confidentiality, and comply with all applicable data protection laws and security standards. Any output generated by AI tools is reviewed and validated by a qualified PAG professional before it is incorporated into any deliverable, analysis, or client service. PAG does not use AI for automated decision-making that produces legal, financial, or similarly significant effects. PAG remains committed to safeguarding your privacy and is dedicated to transparent data practices throughout the use of AI technologies.  As a client, you may opt out of AI-assisted processing by contacting us (see “How Can You Contact Us?”).  Opting out will not affect other aspects of our services.

7. How Do We Protect Your Information?

PAG takes reasonable precautions to safeguard Personal Information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards; limit internal access to job-related needs; and share externally only as allowed, permitted, or required by law. As a user, you play a vital role in protecting your data, devices, and passwords.

We use encryption on our websites and our internal storage systems for client files.  

We store Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the intended purposes of collection described in this Privacy Policy, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, audit, and reporting requirements. When no longer required, we securely delete, destroy, or de-identify it in accordance with applicable law.

Despite our efforts, no online system is completely secure.  By using our services, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

Data Security Incident Notification

In the event of a data security incident involving your Personal Information, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulatory authorities as required by federal and state law. We maintain incident response procedures designed to promptly investigate, contain, and remediate security incidents.

8. Transfer of Your Personal Information to Other Countries

In certain circumstances, and pursuant to your written consent, we may transfer your Personal Information to recipients located in other countries or permit access to Personal Information from such countries.  These countries may have privacy, data protection, and information-security laws, regulations or standards that differ from those in your home jurisdiction and may, in some cases, provide a lower level of protection.

We implement appropriate safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information during such cross-border transfers.  These safeguards may include, without limitation:

  • Contractual protections such as standard contractual clauses and other approved data-transfer mechanisms; VPN to provide secure access to internal networks for remote employees;
  • Technical and organizational measures designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your Personal Information; and
  • Limiting transfers to jurisdictions or vendors that maintain appropriate privacy and security certifications or contractual commitments.

We take steps to ensure that any third party receiving Personal Information maintains appropriate safeguards and handles Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.

9. What Are Your Options Regarding Your Information?

You may request access to, or corrections of, the Personal Information that we maintain about you by contacting us. Please include your current contact information, the information you want to access or correct, and your requested changes. After we verify your identity, we will respond consistently with applicable law and our policies.

Do Not Track (DNT): Please note that our Site is not currently set up to detect Do Not Track signals from users’ computers. As a result, we are currently unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.

Global Privacy Control

Certain states recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where required by applicable law, we honor valid Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell or share Personal Information for such purposes; recognition of a GPC signal will not materially change how we process your Personal Information.
