044-54 Wyo. Code R. §§ 54-11 - Limits on Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Financial Information to Nonaffiliated Third Parties

(a) A licensee may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose any nonpublic personal financial information about a consumer to a nonaffiliated third party unless:

(i) The licensee has provided to the consumer an initial notice as required under section 4;

(ii) The licensee has provided to the consumer an opt-out notice as required in section 7;

(iii) The licensee has given the consumer a reasonable opportunity, before it discloses the information to the nonaffiliated third party, to opt-out of the disclosure; and

(iv) The consumer does not opt-out.

(b) Opt-out means a direction by the consumer that the licensee not disclose nonpublic personal financial information about that consumer to a nonaffiliated third party, other than as permitted by sections 14, 15, and 16.

(c) A licensee provides a consumer with a reasonable opportunity to opt-out if:

(i) The licensee mails the required notices to the consumer and allows the consumer to opt-out by mailing a form, calling a toll-free telephone number, or any other reasonable means within thirty (30) days from the date the licensee mailed the notices.

(ii) A customer opens an on-line account with a licensee and agrees to receive the required notices electronically, and the licensee allows the customer to opt-out by any reasonable means within thirty (30) days after the date the customer acknowledges receipt of the notices in conjunction with opening the account.

(iii) For an isolated transaction such as providing the consumer with an insurance quote, a licensee provides the consumer with a reasonable opportunity to opt-out if the licensee provides the required notices at the time of the transaction and requests that the consumer decide, as a necessary part of the transaction, whether to opt-out before completing the transaction.

(iv) A licensee shall comply with this section, regardless of whether the licensee and the consumer have established a customer relationship.

(v) Unless a licensee complies with this section, the licensee may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose any nonpublic personal financial information about a consumer the licensee has collected, regardless of whether the licensee collected it before or after receiving the direction to opt-out from the consumer.

(d) A licensee may allow a consumer to select certain nonpublic personal financial information or certain nonaffiliated third parties to which the consumer wishes to opt-out.
