Client Privacy Notice
The Foundation Network (TFN) recognizes all end-user client rights to privacy. We are committed to the highest standards of data encryption technology by utilizing Turbo SSL™ (Secure Sockets Layer software), SHA1 (US Secure Hash Algorithm 1), and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm) to keep client database records protected and secure.
The exclusion of access to personal client records from unauthorized persons is as important to us as it is to you. Therefore, in exercising the proper methods of gathering, maintaining, and using client information, we adhere to the following practices:
We collect, record, and transfer information only as necessary to enable our Internet Service Platform to provide end-user clients with the assistance and applicable legal counsel necessary for the assembly of their respective estate plans.
Services requiring data exchanges between affiliated parties may be necessary to analyze, edit, and submit personal information by personal advisors and legal counsel – or other appropriate sources – for the proper creation, funding, and implementation of prescribed estate plans. However, client files will not be transferred or made available to any other organization not authorized or otherwise connected by a service relationship to our processing network.
Any networking party associated with our Inter-Networking Service Protocol system who sends or receives personal client data must agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy Notice(s) prohibiting electronic files to be used for any reason other than to coordinate and establish end-user client estate plans. Notwithstanding, we do not monitor related party activities beyond our data-exchange protocol requirements.
Through pre-arranged contractual agreements, clients and their family members (of the client’s choice) may have access to personal information through Client Consoles electronically stored on our database, which may also be sent to us from other related sources. All personal information will be used only to accomplish the desired end result(s) for which purchases of our services have been made.
As with any industry (especially those utilizing sophisticated data-exchange systems), our company and service platform is subject to internal due diligence investigations by authorized governmental agencies. To facilitate any such investigative requirements, TFN is creating an Attorney General Login (AGL) page. The AGL page will allow Attorney Generals internet access (after being provided a secure database password) to view and analyze all pertinent client data-exchange occurrences and protocol activity between related service parties.
