Goodman Factors Privacy Policy
Effective March 1, 2003, this Privacy Policy replaces
any previous version that has been established for our customers
(clients) dealing at any time with Goodman Factors.
What Should You Know?
We recognize our responsibility to keep information
about you confidential and secure. We do not sell or share
client information with outside marketers, so there is no
need for you to tell us not to.
This policy covers client information, which means non-public
client information about a current or former relationship
with Goodman Factors. You are protected not only by Goodman
Factor's commitment to maintain your privacy, but also by
state and federal laws.
How We Collect Personal Information
Goodman Factors collects, retains, and uses information
about you in an appropriate and responsible manner. Information
will only be collected when it is necessary or useful in order
to operate our business, to better understand your financial
needs, to make available products, services and other opportunities
that may be of interest to you, to help protect against fraud
and as required by law.
Uses of Shared Information
Goodman Factors does not share information in any
way other than what is described below and prescribed by law.
Therefore, Goodman Factors information sharing practices do
not require opt out notices to our clients.
To provide products and services you have requested or otherwise
authorized;
To maintain or service your accounts with us;
To comply with requests by our regulatory agencies; and
To comply with a law, regulation, reporting requirements,
legal process or court order as permitted by law.
We share information about your transactions with credit
reporting agencies as required or permitted by law.
Right to Financial Privacy
If we receive a subpoena or similar legal process
demanding release of any information about you, we will generally
attempt to notify you first unless we believe we are prohibited
from doing so by law. Except as required by law or as described
above, we do not share information with other parties, including
government agencies.
Maintaining Accuracy of Information
Goodman Factors strives to ensure that the information
it maintains about you is accurate, current and complete.
Procedures are in place to respond to your requests regarding
inaccurate information in a timely manner. We maintain security
standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access
to your information, and we regularly review, test and update
our technology and procedures to improve the security and
accuracy of such information. We investigate your inquiries
about information received from us (or from a credit bureau
reflecting information we have provided) that you believe
to be inaccurate. We correct information we determine to be
incorrect.

at any time. We will notify our clients if we do so. If you
