SERIES 6 EXAM ASKS QUESTIONS REGARDING PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMERS' FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Series 6 Exam tests candidates on privacy rules that registered reps must observe for maintaining the confidentiality of financial information and financial status of customers. How do we know this? FINRA publishes a Content Outline for the Series 6 Exam, and Section 2.2 of the Content Outline lists the Privacy Requirements and Regulation S-P as important for the Series 6 Exam.
Bob Eder in his Series 6 guide, Study for the Series 6 Exam, discusses privacy requirements in detail. Here is a sample of Bob Eder's discussion:
Regulation S-P
The SEC has adopted Regulation S-P to assure that broker/dealers and investment advisory firms, as well as other firms that collect sensitive financial information of customers, comply with the law on safeguarding the privacy of personal non-public financial information. The notice must be easy to understand, conspicuous, not camouflaged in small type or font. It must be sent to all persons with whom a financial firm initiates or maintains a customer relationship.
