Summary of U.S. State Data Breach Notification Statutes

Share
Print this page

Davis Wright Tremaine’s Privacy & Security practice group maintains this summary of the 50 state data breach notification statutes (plus the statutes for Washington, D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). The summary should help answer questions about state data breach notification requirements but it is not intended to provide legal advice, which can only be given in response to inquiries regarding particular situations.

If you have questions about data breach notification requirements, please contact one of the members of our Privacy & Security group who counsels businesses and individuals about such requirements, including Nancy Libin and Chris Avery. If you have questions or comments about this summary, please contact DWTBreach@dwt.com.
