Can I sell personal information without obtaining consent in Pennsylvania? What are the requirements?

In Pennsylvania, selling personal information without obtaining consent is generally prohibited. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, a licensee may disclose nonpublic personal financial information without obtaining consent in certain circumstances, such as with the consent or at the direction of the consumer, to protect against or prevent fraud or unauthorized transactions, or to comply with federal, state, or local laws ^[3.1][4.1]. It is important to note that these exceptions are subject to certain conditions, such as providing the consumer with an initial notice and opt-out notice ^[4.1].

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that you are complying with all applicable laws and regulations when selling personal information in Pennsylvania.
