To help their clients manage multi-state data breach notification efforts, Snell & Wilmer’s Breach Response Team has developed an interactive Data Breach Map that provides an overview of the data breach statutes in all 50 states as well as the territories of the United States.
By clicking on a state, you can see a summary of the key features of its notification statute; highlights include PII and breach definitions, along with notification requirements, including the circumstances in which the state Attorney General’s Office or a similar consumer protection agency is required to be notified, as well as timing requirements for the notifications to individuals.
It additionally provides a visual summary for those states that require notification when PII has merely been accessed as compared to those states that only require notification when PII has been acquired.
