Notification of Risk to Personal Data Act

The Notification of Risk to Personal Data Act would require federal agencies and private businesses to notify individuals if their personal information is compromised in a data breach. Under this bill, any entity that collects or owns sensitive personal data must inform affected citizens as soon as an unauthorized person gains access to their information. The goal is to ensure that people are alerted to potential identity theft or privacy risks in a timely manner so they can take steps to protect their financial and personal security.
