Data Breach Risk Management

In Wisconsin, Personal Information Includes:

An individual's first name or first initial with last name with one of the following identifiers:

Social Security number
Driver's license or identification card number
Account number, credit or debit card number, in combination with a linked security or access code, or password of an individual's financial account
DNA profile
The individual's unique biometric data, including fingerprint, voice print, retina or iris image, or any other unique physical representation.

If one of the data elements linked to an individual's name is encrypted, redacted or altered in a manner that renders the element unreadable, no notice is required. The law applies to electronic and paper records.

The notice shall be provided within a reasonable time, not to exceed 45 days after the entity learns of the acquisition of personal information. Failure to comply with this section is not negligence or a breach of any duty, but may be evidence of negligence or breach of a legal duty.
