Why can’t I limit all sharing

Federal law gives you the right to limit only

sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purpose — information about your creditworthiness
affiliates from using your information to market to you
sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you

State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.
See below for information on your rights under state law.
