(a) (1) Form of opt out notice.
If you are required to provide an opt out notice under § 716.10(a)(1), you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of your consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice must state:
(i) Adequate opt out notice.
You provide adequate notice that the consumer can opt out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party if you:
(A) Identify all of the categories of nonpublic personal information that you disclose or reserve the right to disclose and all of the categories of nonaffiliated third parties to whom you disclose the information, as described in § 716.6(a)(2) and (3) and state that the consumer can opt out of the disclosure of that information; and
(ii) Reasonable opt out means.
You provide a reasonable means to exercise an opt out right if you:
(iii) Unreasonable opt out means.
(B) The only means of opting out as described in any notice subsequent to the initial notice is to use a check-off box that was provided with the initial notice but not included with the subsequent notice.
(iv) Specific opt out means.
You may require each consumer to opt out through a specific means, as long as that means is reasonable for that consumer.
(b) Same form as initial notice permitted.
You may provide the opt out notice together with or on the same written or electronic form as the initial notice you provide in accordance with § 716.4.
(c) Initial notice required when opt out notice delivered subsequent to initial notice.
If you provide the opt out notice later than required for the initial notice in accordance with § 716.4, you must also include a copy of the initial notice in writing or, if the consumer agrees, electronically.
(1) If two or more consumers jointly obtain a financial product or service, other than a loan, from you, you may provide only a single opt out notice. Your opt out notice must explain how you will treat an opt out direction by a joint consumer as explained in the examples in paragraph (d)(5) of this section.
If John and Mary have a joint share account with you and arrange for you to send statements to John's address, you may do any of the following, but you must explain in your opt out notice which opt out policy you will follow:
(iii) Permit John and Mary to make different opt out directions. If you do so, and if John and Mary both opt out, you must permit one or both of them to notify you in a single response (such as on a form or through a telephone call).
(6) Special rule for loans.
(i) You are required to provide an initial opt out notice to a borrower or guarantor on a loan if you share his or her nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties other than for purposes under §§ 716.13, 716.14 and 716.15.
(e) Time to comply with opt out.
You must comply with the consumer's opt out direction as soon as reasonably practicable after you receive it.
(f) Continuing right to opt out.
A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time.
(g) Duration of consumer's opt out direction.
(2) When a member relationship terminates, the member's opt out direction continues to apply to the nonpublic personal information that you collected during or related to the relationship. If the individual subsequently establishes a new member relationship with you, the opt out direction that applied to the former relationship does not apply to the new relationship.
(h) Delivery.
When you are required to deliver an opt out notice by this section, you must deliver it according to the methods in § 716.9.
(i) Model privacy form.
Pursuant to § 716.2(a) of this part, a model privacy form that meets the notice content requirements of this section is included in Appendix A of this part.
