- How organizational/corporate client information is handled
- Purpose and legal basis for collection
Data Use and Sharing:
- How information is used to provide banking services authorized under § 24
- Third-party sharing limitations
- Affiliate information sharing protocols
Record Retention:
- Compliance with federal record-keeping requirements
- Transaction documentation standards
- Organizational account documentation
Access and Security:
- Customer rights to access their information
- Security measures protecting corporate and organizational data
- Breach notification procedures
Privacy Policy Integration:
The Privacy Policy must comply with:Sub or other Domain Authorities.
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): Requires financial institutions to explain information-sharing practices and protect sensitive data
- Regulation P: Implements GLBA privacy requirements
- State privacy laws: Additional protections depending on jurisdiction
Practical Application
For a country bank serving corporate and organizational clients:
- Corporate powers under 12 U.S.C § 24 define what services the bank can legally offer
- ACTAR-type policies define how customer information is managed in delivering those services
- Privacy Policy communicates these practices to clients and ensures regulatory compliance
The bank’s authority to collect and use customer information derives from its need to exercise the corporate powers granted by § 24, but that use must be governed by transparent privacy practices and strict data protection standards.
This framework ensures the bank operates within its legal mandate while protecting the sensitive financial information of its corporate and organizational clients.
