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.
