Privacy Management Issues • Manage and Audit privacy policy compliance California county opts-in for tougher privacy law AUGUST 16, 2002 • Enforce privacy policies consistently • Business Drivers: WASHINGTON -- In what may be more evidence of an emerging national backlash against "optout" financial privacy laws, California's San Mateo County this month approved a law requiring banks to get customer permission before sharing their data with third parties. The federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley law allows financial services groups to share customer data unless the customer says no. But the law allowed states to seta tougher standard, by first requiring customer consent or "opt-in. " And that's what's been happening in other locales. In June, voters in North Dakota overwhelmingly voted to tighten financial privacy laws. Vermont officials have imposed similar restrictions. – Lower operational cost through automation – Comply with Business Policy for auditing purposes – Maintain customer base and reputation – Regulation – Privacy Policy Compliance Audit 16

Widget's Billing Department will use credit card and address information to charge your credit card for the purchases you made. Widget's Shipping Department will use your address information to ship your order. If you opt-in, Widget's Shipping Department will use your e-mail address to notify you of your order's shipment status. Widget's Marketing Department will share your name and mailing address with selected marketing partners unless you opt out or if you live in Vermont or California. We’re now ready to build the policy in Privacy Manager…. . Note: EPA Privacy Agreements Framework can be used to generate these rules as well. 20
