Regulation P (12 CFR part 1016) requires credit unions to disclose its privacy policies to customers as well as offer customers a reasonable opportunity to opt out-in whole or in part-of those policies to further restrict the release of their personal financial information to nonaffiliated third parties. Credit unions are required to provide an initial privacy notice to customers that is clear and conspicuous, an annual notice of the privacy policies and practices of the institution, a revised notice to customers if triggered by specific changes to the existing policy, and a notice of the right of the customer to opt out of the institutionâs information sharing practices. Consumers who choose to exercise their opt-out right document this choice by returning an opt-out form or other permissible method. This information collection is needed to evidence compliance with title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
While the number of regulated entities decreased, credit union membership grew. Consequently, the number of respondents increased due to more potential credit union members, leading to an increase in consumers receiving opt-out notices, from 1,580,000 to 1,801,750.
