It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of each customer, given them the assurance of knowing that their personal information is securely protected and confidential concealed. It is my right to make sure that my private information has not been exposed and I am sure that 15 USC 6801 is backing me when it comes to making sure my personal is not vulnerable to the public.
