Section 502 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (Pub. L. 106-102) generally prohibits a financial institution from sharing nonpublic personal information about a consumer with nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution satisfies various disclosure requirements (including provision of initial privacy notices, annual notices, notices of revisions to the institution's privacy policy, and opt-out notices) and the consumer has not elected to opt out of the information sharing. The CFPB is promulgating regulations to implement the GLB Act's notice requirements and restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.
The Bureau is promulgating a final rule published October 28th 2014 at 79 FR 64057 in which it is amending Regulation P, which requires, among other things, that financial institutions provide an annual disclosure of their privacy policies to their customers. The amendment does not introduce any new or revised disclosure requirements but rather provides an alternative delivery method for this annual disclosure as currently required by Regulation P. Under the CFPB's new rule, financial institutions will be able to post privacy notices online instead of distributing. The new rule applies to both banks and those non-banks that are within the CFPB's jurisdiction under the GLBA. and creates no new requirements on any party. The Bureau estimates that the new option for providing the required disclosure will result in a reduction of 261,904 burden hours owing to entities taking advantage of the alternate delivery methods.
