To Our Customers:
TAAG Indiana values you as a customer and respects your right to privacy. We recognize that you have placed your trust in us, and we take the responsibility to preserve that trust. One way we endeavor to keep your trust is to properly handle that personal information.
We pledge to you that:

TAAG Indiana maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to ensure that personal information we have about you is treated responsibly, and in accordance with our privacy policy. We restrict access to information about you only to those representatives and employees who need to know that information in order to provide products and  services to you or to conduct TAAG Indiana’s business. Representatives or employees who have access to the information may only use it for legitimate business purposes. In addition, we take steps to safeguard information about you in accordance with applicable
data security regulations.
We collect personal information about you from these sources:

· Product vendors, as a result of your transactions with us; and/or,
· Depending on the product you are requesting to purchase, information received from consumer reporting agencies, medical providers or others.
We may disclose the following categories of information to entities that perform administrative services on our behalf or as required or permitted by law for legal, regulatory, or other purposes:
· Information you provide directly to us on the Customer Account Form, applications or other forms;

Non affiliated third parties may include retirement plan sponsors or third party administrators, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and agencies, other broker-dealers, and clearing firms. Our privacy policy is the same for current, as well as former clients. If you close your account, in the process of transferring your holdings we may share your information with the new broker-dealer or custodian that you or your representative selects. If our representative servicing your account leaves us to join another broker-dealer, the representative is permitted to retain copies of your information so that he or she can continue to serve you at the new firm. The representative is still required to keep your personal information confidential and may only use it to service your account.
