Privacy Management Via the World Wide Web.

Network Controls International Inc. (NCI) offers a new privacy management module that permits banks access to customer information while complying with the consumer privacy and disclosure requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

The module can be installed on a network or accessed through the World Wide Web, using NCI as an application service provider. The module is designed to work with NCI's Business Centre Web-based front-office delivery system but can also be used as a standalone system.

By July 1, banks will be required to provide their customers with options concerning the bank's usage of private information and to disclose its privacy policies to those customers. NCI says its module enables financial institutions to "access information from all touch points to create a complete view of their customers."

The company says its program offers "an unlimited number of delivery channels, such as marketing, teller, call center, platform and Internet banking.
