Section 502 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act (Act), Public Law No. 106-102, prohibits a financial
institution from disclosing nonpublic personal information about a
consumer to nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution
satisfies various disclosure requirements (i.e., provides a privacy
notice and opt out notice) and the consumer has not elected to opt
out of the disclosure. Section 504 of the Act requires the OCC,
Federal Reserve, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, FTC, and SEC to issue regulations
as necessary to implement the notice requirements and
restrictions.
OTS is citing a decrease in the
number of institutions, an increase in de novos and acquisition and
an increase in the number of consumers. Consumers use the privacy
notice information to determine whether they want personal
information disclosed to third parties that are not affiliated with
the institution. Further, consumers use the opt-out notice
mechanism to advise the institution of their wishes regarding
disclosure of their personal information. Institutions use the
opt-out information to determine the wishes of their consumers and
to act appropriately.
