And usually they'd have to get a lawyer to rewrite it. The policy now is fairly broad and general, but keep in mind it is protected by law, so they won't sell your name, income, and SSN to a guy in an alley for $100 cause you "gave them persmission". Heck, I am not even getting the lease from GMAC. It's coming from a third party bank. Let me sign or see their privacy form. That's why they have a broad privacy policy in place. Otherwise in this situation, they'd have to be writing out one that deals specifically with that 3rd party leasing company. If you cancel the deal and go elsewhere, chances are you're going to have the same if not very similar policy in place to sign. Unfortunately there's no other way around it unless: You pay cash. or You build your own motorized vehicle out of scrap parts and wood and drive it on your own property unregistered and uninsured. Actually even if you pay cash, they probably would make you sign a privacy form because they might need to share your info with the taxman, DMV, or aninsurance company. |

On it there is a large box that they check where they "opt out" so that even if we did give their info to a third party (we never would do this) we wouldn't be able to do this. I wouldn't sign that either unless I could opt out.

Aren't most of these notices, not agreements? Isn't what you are signing just an acknowledgement that you've been provided a copy of the privacy policy? That's their policy... Even if you refuse to sign the acknowledgement, it doesn't really change anything. At least that's my take on it...

| A HIPAA authorization is restricted on who the provider can release the information to. You are generally asked on most HIPAA forms who they are allowed to release the info to. All I am saying is be more specific and define who these parties are who may get your information and put in an opt out clause if you don't want it to happen. | |
