Before the loan advances, a loan file reviewer must resolve a GLBA privacy requirements issue in a renewal checklist. What should happen?

Correct Answer

C) Limit reuse and redisclosure of consumer financial information

Why this is correct: Under GLBA, financial institutions must limit the reuse and redisclosure of nonpublic personal information obtained from another financial institution. This protects consumer privacy by controlling how information is shared beyond the original purpose. Why the other choices are wrong: "Use an internal exception instead of the required federal disclosure or timing rule" is wrong because GLBA's privacy limits are federal requirements that cannot be overridden by internal policies. "Wait until a regulator asks for the file before applying the federal requirement" is wrong because GLBA compliance must be ongoing and proactive. "Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance" is wrong because GLBA often requires written privacy notices and opt-out mechanisms. Exam tip: GLBA restricts how you can reuse or reshare customer data received from other financial entities; always verify permissible purposes.

Answer Options
A
Use an internal exception instead of the required federal disclosure or timing rule.
B
Wait until a regulator asks for the file before applying the federal requirement.
C
Limit reuse and redisclosure of consumer financial information
D
Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The correct response is "Limit reuse and redisclosure of consumer financial information" because Nonpublic personal information must be handled under GLBA privacy limits and notices.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Use an internal exception instead of the required federal disclosure or timing rule.

Use an internal exception instead of the required federal disclosure or timing rule. is not correct because it does not apply the rule tested by this file scenario.

Option B: Wait until a regulator asks for the file before applying the federal requirement.

Wait until a regulator asks for the file before applying the federal requirement. is not correct because it does not apply the rule tested by this file scenario.

Option D: Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance.

Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance. is not correct because it does not apply the rule tested by this file scenario.

Memory Technique

GLBA privacy requirements: identify the rule being tested, then choose the action that documents or applies that rule before the file moves forward.

Exam Tip

Match the file facts to GLBA privacy requirements; do not choose an exception or shortcut that skips the required rule.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • -Choosing an internal exception instead of the governing rule
