This dual-role structure establishes that TransUnion's data practices and consumer protections operate across different regulatory regimes. Information collected may be subject to either FCRA consumer reporting rules or state data broker regulations, depending on the specific use case, which determines the applicable procedural requirements and consumer remedies available.
The terms establish that rights available to consumers vary depending on whether TransUnion is processing information as a consumer reporting agency under FCRA or as a commercial data broker. The same personal information may be used for regulated consumer reporting purposes or unregulated commercial purposes, with different disclosure, dispute, and access procedures applying to each category.
