If you require further details about your information, you may contact us at any time. Naturally, we will have to assess your request to ensure that it does not contain references to other persons, or violate our legal privilege.

Having accurate information about you will enable us to give you the best possible service. We expect that you will provide us with updated information when you move or change telephone numbers, or have any other material changes in your information. If you detect any errors in information (such as the information appearing on your copy of your application form), please let us know immediately.
Your Right To Withdraw Consent
By opening an account with us, you are providing your consent for us to collect, use and release your personal information. If at any time you wish to withdraw this consent, please advise us. However, please note that withdrawing consent may mean that we will be unable to provide certain services to you. We will explain the consequences of withdrawing consent, should you choose to do so.
Online Services
As mentioned previously in this material, we do offer online services through our web site. While we may keep records of which web pages you visit while you are in our web site, or what you may download from our web site, we do so for statistical purposes only. We merely keep track of which pages are visited and do not take or use any personal information from you during your visit to our web site. When you send us an email, we learn your exact e-mail address as well as any other information you may have included in the e-mail. While we may use your e-mail address to reply to you, we do not make your e-mail address known to anyone outside our firm. We may use your e-mail address to advise you about products or services that may be of interest to you if you have asked us to put you on an e-mail mailing list. You may ask us to remove you from our mailing list anytime by using the "unsubscribe" instructions provided with each e-mail. We may also send certain required information to you via e-mail if you have requested that we do so. Again, you may cancel this at any time. Please keep in mind that information sent via e-mail is generally unencrypted, so we would remind you not to send us confidential information via e-mail.
