Data breaches can occur in many ways—whether from phishing scams, stolen devices, hacker attacks, or even accidental misconfigurations. Small businesses that handle credit card or customer data, as well as IT consultants, healthcare providers, and financial institutions, face high risks.
In California, the CPRA Data Breach Notification Law requires organizations to promptly notify customers if their personally identifiable information (PII) is compromised. PII includes names, emails, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and passport numbers, financial details, and health information.
Notifications must clearly explain what happened, which data was affected, the steps being taken, and how consumers can protect themselves. They should be written in plain language and include the reporting agency’s name, contact information, and the breach’s date range.
If you suspect that you have been a victim of a data breach, whether intentional or accidental, contact the experienced data breach lawyers at Matern Law Group to discuss your privacy rights. You may be eligible for compensation.
