GLB Act - 20 Resources OverviewGramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB Act)The Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act), includes privacy provisions to protect consumer information held by financial institutions. In 2003, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) confirmed that higher education institutions are considered financial institutions under this federal law. The Safeguards Rule of the GLB Act requires financial institutions to have a security plan to protect confidentiality and integrity of personal information. Privacy notices explaining an institution's information-sharing practices must also be provided. As of May 23, 2003, colleges and universities must be in compliance with provisions of the GLB Act that relate to the Safeguards Rule. Colleges and universities that already comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) will be deemed to be in compliance with FTC privacy rules under the GLB Act. EDUCAUSE has identified links concerning the GLB Act that may be useful to the higher education community. Many of these links have been contributed by EDUCAUSE members.

There are three principal parts to the privacy requirements: the Financial Privacy Rule, Safeguards Rule and pretexting provisions. The GLB Act gives authority to eight federal agencies and the states to administer and enforce the Financial Privacy Rule and the Safeguards Rule. These two regulations apply to “financial institutions,” which include not only banks, securities firms, and insurance companies, but also companies providing many other types of financial products and services to consumers.
