Which group is specifically not protected by privacy regulations according to the GLBA?

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) is designed to protect the privacy of individuals when they seek financial products or services. The act primarily focuses on consumer protection by requiring financial institutions to establish privacy policies and procedures. However, the GLBA does not extend its privacy protections to businesses or companies engaging in commercial activities. This means that when a company is seeking financial products for commercial purposes, it does not receive the same level of privacy protection that individuals or families do.

In contrast, individuals seeking financial products for personal use, families looking for savings accounts, and individuals using services for household purposes are all considered consumers under the GLBA and are afforded specific protections regarding how their personal information is collected, used, and shared by financial institutions. Therefore, the correct answer pertains to the commercial interests of companies, which fall outside the scope of the GLBA's privacy regulations.
