Eight federal regulators released an Online Form Builder today that
financial institutions can download and use to develop and print
customized versions of a model consumer privacy notice.
The Online Form Builder, based on the model form regulation published
in the Federal Register on December 1, 2009, under the Gramm-LeachBliley Act, is available with several options. Easy-to-follow instructions
for the form builder will guide an institution to select the version of the
model form that fits its practices, such as whether the institution provides
an opt-out for consumers.
To obtain a legal "safe harbor" and so satisfy the law's disclosure
requirements, institutions must follow the instructions in the model form

regulation when using the Online Form Builder.
The model privacy form was developed jointly by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Trade
Commission, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision, and Securities
and Exchange Commission.
