Data Breaches Reported in Illinois
Companies that reported data breaches affecting Illinois residents to the state attorney general.
Illinois is notable for having both a data breach notification law and the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which regulates the collection and storage of biometric identifiers. BIPA provides for statutory damages of $1,000 to $5,000 per violation and has been the basis for some of the largest data-related class action settlements in US history. Illinois breach notification law requires notification without unreasonable delay.
