CHAPTER 22PRIVACY
SUBCHAPTER AINSURANCE CONSUMER FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRIVACY
RULE §22.10Information to be Included in Privacy Notices

    (B) a financial institution with whom the covered entity has a joint marketing agreement.

(f) Short-form initial notice with opt out notice for noncustomers.

  (1) A covered entity may satisfy the initial notice requirements in §22.8(a)(2) and §22.11(c) of this title (relating to Form of Opt Out Notice to Consumers and Opt Out Methods) for a consumer who is not a customer by providing a short-form initial notice at the same time as the covered entity delivers an opt out notice as required in §22.11 of this title.

  (2) A short-form initial notice must:

    (A) be clear and conspicuous;

    (B) state that the covered entity's privacy notice is available on request; and

    (C) explain a reasonable means by which the consumer may obtain that notice.

  (3) The covered entity must deliver its short-form initial notice according to §22.13 of this title (relating to Delivery). The covered entity is not required to deliver its privacy notice with its short-form initial notice. The covered entity may instead provide the consumer with a reasonable means to obtain its privacy notice. If a consumer who receives the covered entity's short-form notice requests the covered entity's privacy notice, the covered entity must deliver its privacy notice according to §22.13 of this title.

  (4) The covered entity provides a reasonable means by which a consumer may obtain a copy of its privacy notice if the covered entity:

    (A) provides a toll-free telephone number that the consumer may call to request the notice; or

    (B) for a consumer who conducts business in person at the covered entity's office, maintains copies of the notice on hand that the covered entity provides to the consumer immediately on request.

(g) Reservation of right to disclose. The covered entity's notice may include:

  (1) categories of nonpublic personal financial information the covered entity reserves the right to disclose in the future, but does not currently disclose; and

  (2) categories of affiliates or nonaffiliated third parties to whom the covered entity reserves the right in the future to disclose, but to whom the covered entity does not currently disclose, nonpublic personal financial information.

(h) Model privacy form. A model privacy form that meets the notice content requirements of this section appears in 74 Federal Register 62890 (December 1, 2009). A covered entity may use the applicable model privacy form, consistent with the instructions in §22.27 of this title (relating to General Instructions).
