Legislative summary
California Senate Bill (SB) 1386 has established specific and restrictive privacy breach reporting requirements. The law was enacted in order to force businesses, or any organization or individual holding private personal information for legitimate business purposes, to inform consumers immediately if their personal information has been compromised. The law also gives consumers the right to sue businesses in civil court for damages incurred through the compromise of information.
Any business, organization or individual that holds private personal information for a person residing in the state of California is bound by the provisions of the law, so California SB 1386 has a much greater impact nationally than is typical for state legislation. While compliance with this regulation is only required in the event that private personal data are compromised, businesses should perform regular security analysis of their applications to understand their risk of exposure to public image and financial damage due to California SB 1386.
