Core Privacy Rules Module

This module has a priority of five. It contains the core rules that apply generally to all the evaluation requests:

• CUST. Customer rules. This module contains customer-specific core rules. The sample rule is for the customers which are designated as consumers. This sample rule forces the channel partner sharing preference elections to be identical to the nonaffiliate sharing preference elections of all consumers outside of California who have a channel partner type of Brand X or Brand Y.

• U.S. FS. Evaluate core privacy rules. This module contains the core rules that generally apply to all U.S. Financial Services customers for any evaluation request.

• U.S. FS.1. Determine privacy state code. This module contains statements that set the privacy state code values for a business or consumer account and determine whether it has changed from a previous value.

• U.S. FS.2. Determine precedence of privacy options and sources. This module contains statements that use the privacy option with the source hierarchy to determine the roll up of privacy preferences to the financial account level.

• U.S. FS.3. Handle privacy notices and letters. This module contains the statements that determine whether a contact receives an annual notice and what cover letter and notice must be sent to the customer, except in the case where the contact has moved.
