I have the absolute right to make sure my private information isn't shared, which is backed by 15 USC 6801, that states It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.
