  4. D
    Annual privacy notices under Regulation S-P are required only for customer accounts that generated trading activity during the preceding calendar year.

Cevap

The correct statements are that an initial privacy notice must be delivered no later than when the customer relationship is established, and account statements must be delivered at least quarterly (or monthly when account activity occurs).
The statement regarding initial privacy notice delivery timing (at or before customer relationship establishment) and the statement regarding statement delivery frequency (quarterly base, monthly with activity) accurately reflect SEC Regulation S-P and FINRA rules.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Regulation S-P initial notice delivery requirements
Confirm that an initial privacy disclosure must be delivered to a retail customer at or prior to the establishment of the customer relationship.
SEC Regulation S-P requires firms to inform customers of privacy policies and information-sharing practices at onboarding.
2
Evaluate FINRA account statement delivery frequency rules
Confirm that account statements are required quarterly at minimum, and monthly for any period with account activity.
FINRA rules establish standard reporting intervals to maintain transparency regarding customer holdings and transaction history.
3
Assess opt-out mechanism validity and annual privacy disclosure triggers
Identify that custom letters are considered unreasonable opt-out hurdles, and annual privacy notices apply to all ongoing customer relationships irrespective of trading volume.
Regulation S-P mandates convenient opt-out channels and consistent annual privacy disclosures for established customer accounts.
