The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was passed in November of 1999, with
the purpose of dismantling the Glass-Steagall Act. This
newer Act, contained provisions designed to protect consumer
privacy. The Securities Exchange Commission enacted Regulation
S-P to enforce the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. SEC Regulation
S-P requires all financial institutions and financial advisors
to notify their customers of their policies for the collection
and sharing of private information.
