Other important information

California Financial Information Privacy Act, Financial Code, Division 1.4 prohibits a financial institution from disclosing any non-public personal information (NPI) of a consumer to a non-affiliated third party without first having obtained the consent of the consumer to that information sharing. The need to obtain the consent of the consumer is generally referred as an "Opt-in" to such information sharing.

The legislature intends for financial institutions to provide their consumers notice and meaningful choice about how consumers' nonpublic personal information is shared or sold by their financial institutions.
