  • Requires licensees to obtain prior written informed consent from consumers before disclosing nonpublic personal financial information to any person, with limited exceptions for necessary disclosures or legal requirements.

  • Establishes that licensees must use reasonable care to secure nonpublic personal financial information and develop written privacy policies addressing collection, security, use, and release of consumer data.

  • Modifies notice requirements to allow single annual notices to consumers instead of initial, annual, and revised notices, with flexibility for electronic delivery methods.
