To be successful in this environment, we must continue to insure that our customers are confident that we will manage their financial affairs expertly and confidentially.

At Williams Wealth Management Group, Inc., our customers have access to a broad range of products and services from basic banking products to investments, mortgages, insurance, and online banking. To deliver these products and services as effectively and conveniently as possible, it is essential that we use technology to manage and maintain certain customer information.

We want to assure all of our customers that whenever information is used, it is done with discretion. The safeguarding of customer information is an issue we take seriously at Williams Wealth Management Group, Inc. To affirm our continuing commitment to the proper use of customer information, we have set forth the following Privacy Principles. It is these Privacy Principles that guide us in serving the privacy needs of our customers.

1. Recognition of a Customer’s Expectation of Privacy: At Williams Wealth Management Group, Inc. , we believe the confidentiality and protection of customer information is one of our fundamental responsibilities.

Business Continuity Plan

Summary of Business Continuity Plan

Williams Wealth Management Group, Inc. (WWMG) specifically has developed a Business Continuity Plan. In accordance with this rule, WWMG has developed a plan to ensure that we can continue to run our business during periods of business emergencies.  Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

CONTACTING US

If after a significant business disruption, you cannot contact us as you usually do at (941) 756-4500, you should call 941-545-3208 or go to our web site at, www.WilliamsWealth360.com .  If you cannot access us through either of those means, you should contact our clearing firm, TD Ameritrade at 800-431-3500 Option 2 for instructions on how they may assist you in accessing your accounts.

OUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery, all mission critical systems, financial and operational assessments, alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators, alternate physical location of employees, critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

Our clearing firm, TD Ameritrade, and our broker dealer firm, LaSalle St. Securities, LLC back up our important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within specified times as mandated by the Securities Exchange Commission, NYSE, and FINRA. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.

VARYING DISRUPTIONS

Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within times specified by the Securities Exchange Commission, NYSE, and FINRA. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume businesses in a timely fashion with emphasis on recovery of critical functions according to their time criticality. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through email, telephone call or our website www.WilliamsWealth360.com on how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.
