At ATG Law Group we take maintaining the confidentiality of your identity and all your information very seriously. At ATG we use the SmartVault encrypted security system to receive and store all your information and documents related to your transaction. SmartVault encrypts backups of your documents and their metadata, and then stores these encrypted backups off site. Because of this, any backup media intercepted or lost in transit from smart vault to the secure, off-site facility is non recoverable by eavesdroppers.

ATG is also FINRA compliant.  Your documents and metadata are always stored in redundant, replicated storage. After documents are uploaded into our system multiple copies are stored through the SmartVault system both on site and off site. This is done to ensure data accessibility and data recoverability while maintaining the highest levels of privacy. For more detailed information about SmartVault check out their frequently asked questions at the following link:  SmartVault Security & Compliance FAQs | SmartVault

And remember all of your communications with ATG are  protected by the attorney-client privilege which is the strongest privilege in the law and offers the highest degree of confidentiality.
