In regard to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, it disturbs me to think the financial institution, Bank or Creditor, that I put my faith in to handle the delicate matter of personal finance may be sharing information with out my consent. It's the idea of personal privacy that puts the personal in personal finance. Isn't that the definition of PERSONAL finance?

"PERSONAL" as defined by Webster... 1 : of, relating to, or affecting a person : PRIVATE, INDIVIDUAL <personal ambition> <personal financial gain>

A financial institution, Back or Creditor, may be providing services other than "personal finance",but if they are proving financial service, then the privacy of the individual should be protected first and foremost regardless of the scope of services provided in addition to those of a financial nature.

I feel that it is a deceptive, unethical practice on the institutions part if the situation is thought of with less regard to the privacy of the individual. Any institution that believes otherwise should be held responsible to the full extent of the law.
