The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is a U.S. federal law that requires financial institutions to protect consumer financial information and inform customers about their privacy policies. Under this law, companies must provide a GLBA Privacy Notice explaining how they collect, use, and share personal financial data.

What Does the GLBA Notice Cover?

The GLBA Notice informs customers about:

• Data Collection – The types of personal and financial information the institution gathers.
• Data Sharing Policies – Who the information is shared with (such as affiliates or third-party service providers).
• Consumer Rights – Customers’ ability to opt out of certain data-sharing practices.
• Security Measures – How the institution protects financial information from unauthorized access.

Why the GLBA Notice Matters

• Ensures transparency in how financial institutions handle customer data.
• Helps individuals understand their rights and make informed decisions about their personal information.
• Encourages strong data security practices to safeguard against fraud and identity theft.

If you're interacting with a financial institution, reviewing their GLBA Notice is crucial for understanding how your personal financial information is managed and protected.
