The Privacy of Consumer Financial Information regulations that implement the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) may restrict this type of information sharing because it meets the definition of nonpublic personal information under the Privacy regulations. Therefore, sharing it with nonaffiliated third parties may be subject to an opt-out notice under the privacy regulations. In turn, the FCRA may also restrict activities that the GLBA permits. For example, the GLBA permits a financial institution to share a list of its customers and information such as their credit scores with another financial institution to jointly market or sponsor other financial products or services. This communication may be a consumer report under the FCRA and could potentially cause the sharing financial institution to become a consumer reporting agency.

Even if a financial institution shared non public information of a consumers, customer such information is consider a consumer report according to the FTC interpretation 5. REPORT CONCERNING A CONSUMERS ATTRIBUTES AND HISTORY. Information that does not identify a specific consumer does not constitute a consumer report even if the communication is used in part to determine eligibility.

However, information may constitute a consumer report even if it does not identify the consumer by name if it could otherwise reasonably be linked to the consumer.
