Your records are generally covered by state laws that protect your privacy. However, under certain circumstances we may release to the public the information printed on your seller’s permit, account start and closeout dates, and names of business owners or partners. We may also share information regarding your account with certain state and federal agencies, with local governments, and with private firms authorized to represent them.
