At Pacific West, we respect your privacy

It’s important for you to know that we do not sell your information to anyone. We recognize our obligation to keep information about you secure and confidential.  We restrict access to non-public personal information about you to those representatives and employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your non-public personal information. This notice describes how we handle your financial information we collect in doing our business.

Pacific West collects non-public personal information about you from applications and other forms which they receive from you and from oral and email communications.  We may also receive information from consumer reporting agencies or public databases. Some of Pacific West’s representatives independently provide insurance sales, tax preparation, accounting, and other services to you and receive information in the same way from you.

All of the information that Pacific West collects through its representatives who are also employed in other non-affiliated businesses such as insurance sales or tax preparation will necessarily be disclosed to them in those other capacities. And information they collect from you in those other non-affiliated capacities will necessarily also be known to them as representatives of Pacific West. In both cases, however, they will not disclose the information if you notify us that you do not want the information used in any capacity other than the one in which you have dealt with the representative.

If you wish to opt out of such disclosure, call (888) 236-7979.  Be aware that by opting out, it will prevent the disclosure of your information between Pacific West and a Pacific West representative’s additional business pursuits. For example, if a Pacific West Securities Representative also has a tax preparation or insurance practice, that representative would not be able to discuss tax preparation or insurance business with you without first getting your permission.

At such time as Pacific West and the representative terminate their relationship with one another, information that has been disclosed by one to the other may be retained by both of them if they have so agreed as a part of a transfer of a portion of the business that was previously handled by the representative.

We may also provide non-public personal information about you to non-affiliated third parties as permitted by law.  An example of this would be the sharing of your information with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or the Securities and Exchange Commission as they oversee our activities.  Another example would be the sharing of your information with a mutual fund or other such company in order to process your business.  

This privacy policy statement is being sent on behalf of Pacific West Securities, Inc., Pacific West Financial Consultants, Inc., Pacific West Insurance Agency, Inc, Pacific West Investment Services, Pacific West Financial Group, and their Registered Representatives (collectively called Pacific West).
