(i) the licensee may disclose the information to the affiliates of the financial institution from which the licensee received the information;

(iii) the licensee may disclose and use the information pursuant to an exception in section 420.14 or 420.15 of this Part, in the ordinary course of business to carry out the activity covered by the exception under which the licensee received the information.

(2) Example. If a licensee receives information from a nonaffiliated financial institution for claims settlement purposes, the licensee may disclose the information for fraud prevention, or in response to a properly authorized subpoena. The licensee may not disclose that information to a third party for marketing purposes or use that information for its own marketing purposes.

(b)

(1) Information a licensee receives outside of an exception. If a licensee receives nonpublic personal financial information from a nonaffiliated financial institution other than under an exception in section 420.14 or 420.15 of this Part, the licensee may disclose the information only:

That is, the licensee may disclose the list in accordance with the privacy policy of the financial institution from which the licensee obtained the list, as limited by the opt out direction of each consumer whose nonpublic personal financial information the licensee intends to disclose, and the licensee may disclose the list in accordance with an exception in section 420.14 or 420.15 of this Part, such as to the licensee's attorneys or accountants.
