annually, thereafter

Privacy of Consumer Financial Information

What changed?

– Congress passed The Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act

of 2006 – amending the GLBA

– The Relief Act directed the eight federal regulatory agencies to

jointly develop a uniform model form that would:

• Be comprehensible to consumers, with a clear format & design

• Provide for clear & conspicuous disclosures

• Enable consumers to easily identify the sharing practices of

financial institutions & to compare privacy practices among financial

institutions

• Be succinct & use an easily readable type font

Privacy of Consumer Financial Information

When?

– Model form proposed March 29, 2007, with request for comment

– Effective December 17, 2009, institutions may elect to use the

new model form disclosures

• Use of the new model form provides a legal safe harbor

– Non-Sharing Institutions

• May continue to use a simplified notice if no affiliates, & does not

share non-public, personal information of customers with non-

affiliated third parties beyond permissible sharing (processing, credit

bureaus, & in compliance with other statutes)

• Model Form, Version 1 appropriate for non-sharing institutions

Privacy of Consumer Financial Information

– Sharing Institutions

• Use of the new model form is recommended

• Model Form, Version 2 or 3 appropriate
