Connecticut Tightens its Data Breach Notification Laws
Data Protection Report
Effective October 1, 2021, an amendment[1] to the Connecticut General Statute concerning data privacy breaches, Section 36a-701b, will impact notification obligations in several significant ways. The amendment:
- Expands the definition of “personal information”;
- Shortens the notification deadline after discovery of a breach from 90 to 60 days;
- Removes the requirement to consult with law enforcement as part of a risk assessment;
- Deems compliant any person subject to and in compliance with HIPAA and HITECH; and
- Provides certain exemptions from public disclosure for materials provided to the state in response to an investigation of a breach of security.
