Institutions covered by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act must tell their customers about their information-sharing practices and explain to customers their right to " opt out '' if they don't want their information shared with certain third parties. Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( 1 ) A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless- such financial institution clearly and conspicuously DISCLOSES to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such a third party ; and the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

The fact that I was never given an explanation of how I can exercise that nondisclosure option is immediate grounds for removal.
