Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Joan is a customer of GetErDone, GetErDone must provide her with a notification of its privacy policies annually and provide her with information on how to mandate that it not share her nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties. GetErDone may not disclose any information about Jean, who is not yet a customer of the firm, unless the broker-dealer has provided Jean with its privacy policy and given her the opportunity to opt out of its ability to share her information with nonaffiliated third parties. GetErDone is not required to have provided Jean with a copy of its privacy policy when she inquired about opening an account, but it will need to provide her with one when/if she becomes a customer.
