"We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.— Excerpt from Venmo's Venmo Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GLBA's Safeguards Rule requires financial institutions to implement a comprehensive information security program and, after 2023 amendments, to report certain data breaches to the FTC within 30 days. FinCEN also imposes cybersecurity program expectations on money service businesses. CCPA/CPRA permits private right of action for consumers in connection with data breaches involving certain categories of personal information, including financial account credentials. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's security disclosure is standard in form but does not enumerate specific GLBA Safeguards Rule program elements, creating a gap between what the policy discloses and what the law requires to be implemented. CCPA's private right of action for breaches involving unencrypted financial account information creates direct litigation exposure. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: GLBA Safeguards Rule applies nationwide. CCPA's data breach private right of action applies to California residents. New York's SHIELD Act and other state breach notification laws impose notification timelines for breaches of New York residents' data. All 50 states have breach notification laws that would be triggered by a breach involving Venmo's financial account data. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Service provider contracts should require security standards at least equivalent to those Venmo applies to its own systems, and should include breach notification provisions requiring prompt notification to Venmo upon discovery of a breach affecting Venmo user data. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the information security program satisfies updated GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements effective 2023; confirm that the FTC breach notification obligation (30-day timeline for breaches affecting 500 or more customers) is documented in the incident response plan; and audit whether all 50 state breach notification laws' timelines are incorporated into the incident response procedure.
