Ethics and Privacy

My activities place me in a privileged position within your organization without actually being an insider. You have every right to know where I stand on these important issues. I understand the value of your intellectual property and take all reasonable measures to protect it as I protect my own IP.

Business Ethics:

• I strive to maintain the highest level of business ethics.
• My service rates are not arbitrary and are the same for all clients.
• I do not engage in activities that would be considered illegal.
• I do not accept nor offer extra-contractual compensations.
• I do not engage in fradulent time charges. I do not charge time spent on one project to the account of another. Having worked on govenrment contracts in the past, this is an issue about which I am very strict.
• I will not share information about your products, business practices, business plans, customers, or suppliers with my other clients whether or not they are competitors. Likewise I will not share this information about them with you.

Privacy

• I respect the private nature of contact information you provide to me and that information with which I come into contact during the course of my activities with your organization.
• I will not share e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, employee names, or similar information.

This is just a simple listing of my stand on Ethics & Privacy. It is not by any means all inclusive and I will gladly consider extending it to other issues you need covered. I am no stranger to Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDAs) and other instruments that are routinely employed to define business relationships.
