(1) Reasonably understandable. You make your notice reasonably understandable if you: (i) Present the information in the notice in clear, concise sentences, paragraphs, and sections; (ii) Use short explanatory sentences or bullet lists whenever possible; (iii) Use definite, concrete, everyday words and active voice whenever possible; (iv) Avoid multiple negatives; (v) Avoid legal and highly technical business terminology whenever possible; and (vi) Avoid explanations that are imprecise and readily subject to different interpretations. (2) Designed to call attention. You design your notice to call attention to the nature and significance of the information in it if you: (i) Use a plain-language heading to call attention to the notice; (ii) Use a typeface and type size that are easy to read; (iii) Provide wide margins and ample line spacing; (iv) Use boldface or italics for key words; and (v) In a form that combines your notice with other information, use distinctive type size, style, and graphic devices, such as shading or sidebars, when you combine your notice with other information. The notice should stand out from any accompanying text or other visual elements so that it is easily noticed, read, and understood. (3) Notices on websites or within-application messaging. If you provide a notice on a web page or using within-application messaging, you design your notice to call attention to the nature and significance of the information in it if you use text or visual cues to encourage scrolling down the page if necessary to view the entire notice and ensure that other elements on the website or software application (such as text, graphics, hyperlinks, or sound) do not distract attention from the notice, and you either: (i) Place the notice on a screen that consumers frequently access, such as a page on which transactions are conducted; or (ii) Place a link on a screen that consumers frequently access, such as a page on which transactions are conducted, that connects directly to the notice and is labeled appropriately to convey the importance, nature and relevance of the notice.
