Hines, Justice.
This Court granted certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Jenkins v. Wachovia Bank, N.A., 314 Ga. App. 257 (724 SE2d 1) (2012), to consider whether the Court of Appeals erred in holding that a violation of an alleged duty imposed by 15 USC § 6801 (a), which is part of the Gramm-Leach-BlileyAct (“GLBA”), 15 USC § 6801 et seq., gives rise to a cause of action for negligence under OCGA § 51-1-6. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the holding was in error, and we reverse that portion of the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
