A. As used in this Section, unless the context requires otherwise:
(1) "Customer" means a person with an investment security, deposit, trust, or credit relationship with a financial institution.
(2) "Nonpublic customer information" means information maintained by a financial institution relating to insurance coverage purchased by a customer from an insurer, insurance agency, or insurance producer that is not affiliated with the financial institution.

No person shall use any nonpublic customer information for the purpose of selling or soliciting the purchase of insurance or provide nonpublic customer information to a third party for the purpose of another's sale or solicitation of the purchase of insurance, unless it is clearly and conspicuously disclosed that the information may be so used, and the customer has provided prior written consent to the use for this purpose.
C. The consent under Subsection B of this Section shall be obtained in a separate document and shall not be required as a condition for performance of other services for the customer.
