Certified Financial Planner

Course Overview:

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial institutions such as banks & savings associations, credit unions, mortgage & trust companies, insurance companies, collection agencies and others to disclose privacy policies, limit instances in which consumer information can be shared with non-affiliated third parties and provide consumers an opportunity to protect some of their personal financial information from being shared.

This product covers various technicalities of privacy regulation giving relevant and convincing examples.
