Or. Admin. Code § 836-080-0523

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 836-080-0523 - Annual Notice

(1) The personal information to which a licensee must refer in the annual notice need include only personal financial information. A licensee provides the notice annually if it defines the 12-consecutive-month period as a calendar year and provides the annual notice to the customer once in each calendar year following the calendar year in which the licensee provided the initial notice. For example, if a customer opens an account on any day of year 1, the licensee shall provide an annual notice to that customer by December 31 of year 2.

(2) Termination of customer relationship: A licensee is not required to provide an annual notice to a former customer. A former customer is an individual with whom a licensee no longer has a continuing relationship. The following are examples in which a continuing relationship no longer exists:

(a) A licensee no longer has a continuing relationship with an individual if the individual no longer is a current policyholder of an insurance product or no longer obtains services with or through the licensee.

(b) A licensee no longer has a continuing relationship with an individual if the individual's policy is lapsed, expired or otherwise inactive or dormant under the licensee's business practices, and the licensee has not communicated with the customer about the relationship for a period of 12 consecutive months, other than to provide annual privacy notices, material required by law or regulation or promotional materials.

(c) For the purpose of this rule, a licensee no longer has a continuing relationship with an individual if the individual's last known address according to the licensee's records is deemed invalid. An address of record is deemed invalid if mail sent to that address by the licensee has been returned by the postal authorities as undeliverable and if subsequent attempts by the licensee to obtain a current valid address for the individual have been unsuccessful.

(d) A licensee no longer has a continuing relationship with a customer in the case of providing real estate settlement purposes, at the time the customer completes execution of all documents related to the real estate closing, payment for those services has been received or the licensee has completed all of its responsibilities with respect to the settlement, including filing documents on the public record, whichever is later.

(3) When a licensee is required by this rule to deliver an annual privacy notice, the licensee shall deliver it according to OAR 836-080-0536.

(4) An insurer issuing a title insurance policy is not required to give the annual notice required by ORS 746.620(2) to the policyholder.
