Effective Date: February 25th, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

Kiefer Financial Advising LLC (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of client and website visitor information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, protect, and share information.

When you visit our website, certain limited technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • Device information

  • Pages visited

  • Date and time of access

Our website platform (e.g., Squarespace) may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality and user experience.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not function properly.

How We Use Information

We use collected information solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Providing investment advisory and financial planning services

  • Responding to inquiries

  • Communicating with clients

  • Fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations

  • Improving website functionality

We do not sell personal information.

Information Sharing Practices

We do not sell or share client personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may disclose information only as permitted or required by law, including:

  • To comply with legal or regulatory requirements

  • With client consent or direction

Because the Firm does not maintain custody of assets and does not execute transactions on behalf of clients, we do not share client information with custodians for account servicing purposes.

Electronic Communications & Online Forms

Information submitted through online forms, including Microsoft Forms or email, is transmitted electronically. While we take reasonable measures to safeguard information, no method of electronic transmission is completely secure.

Clients should avoid submitting highly sensitive information via unsecured email.

How We Protect Information

The Firm maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

Safeguards may include:

  • Restricted access to client information

  • Secure cloud-based storage systems

  • Password protection and multi-factor authentication

  • Encryption where appropriate

Access to information is limited to individuals who require it to provide services or comply with legal obligations.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide advisory services and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping requirements.

Separate Insurance Activities

The Firm’s owner is a licensed insurance agent affiliated with a separate insurance agency. Information obtained through advisory services is not shared with the insurance agency unless authorized by the client or required by law.

Former Clients

We continue to protect the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information of former clients in the same manner as current clients.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any material changes will be reflected by updating the Effective Date. The current version will always be available on our website.
