Chapter 9: Financial Privacy

CIPP/US GLBA annual privacy notice guide

GLBA privacy notice obligations depend on the financial institution, consumer relationship, privacy practices and conditions in the current regulation.

Practical example

For a financial institution, identify whether the facts involve an initial notice, annual notice, changed policy or a condition that may affect notice requirements.

Common mistake

Treating an annual notice exception as automatic without checking the current statutory and regulatory conditions.

The CFPB publishes Regulation P privacy rules for financial institutions. The applicable notice requirement should be determined from the current provision and the institution's facts.

For CIPP/US study, separate a GLBA privacy notice question from a safeguards, data-security or consumer-rights question.
