Cevap
He is a customer, and the agency must provide an initial privacy notice when the relationship is established, followed by annual notices.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, an individual who establishes an ongoing relationship with a financial institution (such as purchasing an insurance policy) is considered a 'customer'. Customers must automatically be given an initial privacy notice at the time the relationship is established, and they must receive updated privacy notices annually for as long as they remain a customer.
