Any notice required by this subchapter must comply with the following standards.
(1) Designed to call attention. A covered entity designs its notice to call attention to the nature and significance of the information in it, if:
(A) with regard to all notices, the covered
entity:
(i) uses a plain-language heading to
call attention to the notice;
(ii)
uses a typeface and type size that are easy to read;
(iii) provides wide margins and ample line
spacing;
(iv) uses boldface or
italics for key words; and
(v) uses
distinctive type size, style, and graphic devices, such as shading or sidebars,
when the covered entity combines its notice in a form with other information,
in order to emphasize the privacy component of the form.
(B) on a notice on a Web page, the covered
entity uses text or visual cues to encourage scrolling down the page if
necessary to view the entire notice and to ensure that other elements on the
Web site (such as text, graphics, hyperlinks or sound) do not distract
attention from the notice, and the covered entity either:
(i) places the notice on a screen that
consumers frequently access, such as a page on which transactions are
conducted; or
(ii) places a link on
a screen that consumers frequently access, such as a page on which transactions
are conducted, that connects directly to the notice and is labeled
appropriately to convey the importance, nature and relevance of the
notice.
(2) Reasonably understandable. A covered entity makes its notice reasonably understandable if it:
(A) presents the
information in the notice in clear, concise sentences, paragraphs, and
sections;
(B) uses short
explanatory sentences or bullet lists whenever possible;
(C) uses definite, concrete, everyday words
and active voice whenever possible;
(D) avoids multiple negatives;
(E) avoids legal and highly technical
business terminology whenever possible; and
(F) avoids explanations that are imprecise
and readily subject to different interpretations.
