The broker-dealer must deliver an updated privacy notice to the customer annually for the duration of the customer relationship.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the regulatory entity and rule governing customer privacy protection.
SEC Regulation S-P governs the handling and disclosure of nonpublic personal information by broker-dealers, investment companies, and registered investment advisers.
Establishing whether the individual is a 'consumer' or a 'customer' determines disclosure delivery obligations.
2
Distinguish customer notice requirements from standard consumer disclosure triggers.
An investor who opens an account establishes an ongoing customer relationship, requiring an initial privacy notice at onboarding and annual notices thereafter.
Regulation S-P establishes that customers must receive privacy notices annually for the duration of their active relationship with the firm.
