Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act &
Permissible Purposes

To ensure continued compliance with the privacy provisions of the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the subsequent regulations adopted by the Federal Trade Commission ("GLB"), the permissible purposes presented as part of the services Diogenes LLC offers have been changed. These industry specific screens contain new language that will now correspond to exceptions under the law.

To maintain compliance with GLB, a user must now select only a single purpose from the presented list. Misrepresenting your access purpose is a violation of our subscriber agreement and federal and state laws. Any use of Diogenes LLC information other than for the selected permissible purpose is grounds for litigation and may be referred to the Federal Trade Commission or to the appropriate state investigative agency.
