Why do we need to collect your personal information?

If you are a SABO, JANG & CO. client, SABO, JANG & CO. may have collected some basic information about you. We respect your privacy, which is why we collect personal information only for the following purposes:

We collect personal information about our individual clients for the purposes of providing professional advice and services to them. Usually the scope of advice and service is set out in detail in a formal engagement letter with the client.
As part of our client services these purposes include evaluating, monitoring and assessing the tax and accounting requirements of our clients, recommending changes to asset structures, recommending changes to liability provisions and risk management and strategy consultations for items such as tax disputes.
We also collect information about individual shareholders, employees and directors of organization in the course of providing services to our clients. This information is collected as necessary to properly evaluate and plan the structure and activities of these organizations as mandated by our engagement with them. This information is not utilized to review or analyze the personal financial affairs of any of these individuals, unless that is the subject of a separate engagement.
If an individual also is involved in organizations for which we are separately retained to provide services, we will use their personal information for the purpose of coordinating the collective financial affairs of the individual and these organizations, as well as verifying the accuracy and consistency of information relevant to both engagements.
If instructed by you, we will add individual client names and contact details to our client database, in order to allow us to send them materials relating to our general services. If a client prefers that we do not send this type of material they can let us know in writing and their contact details will then not be utilized in this fashion.

When do we disclose personal information?

There is a variety of circumstances where we may need to disclose personal information about our clients. Generally, we only disclose personal information of our clients as instructed by them. There are , however, a number of exceptions for disclosure that may be made without consent:

To defend our firm in proceedings arising from statements or opinions issued by us in the course of our engagements.
To service providers in circumstances where we remain in control of the information (IT outsourcing).
To professional regulatory bodies, as required by legislation, rules, policies or codes governing our profession.
