About The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was enacted on November 12, 1999. In addition to reforming the services industry with respect to financial transactions, the Act addressed concerns relating to consumer financial privacy and data security. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act required the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other government agencies that regulate financial institutions to implement regulations to carry out the Act’s financial privacy provisions (GLB Act). It requires “financial institutions” to take steps to protect customers’ nonpublic personal information. Click on the link for more information about the Act at the FTC website.
