IAPP CIPP/US Exam - Topic 3 Question 94 Discussion

Posted by Reyes on May 13, 2026 at 06:23 PM

Under state breach notification laws, which is NOT typically included in the definition of personal information?

Suggested Answer: B

Under state breach notification laws, personal information is typically defined as an individual's first name or first initial and last name plus one or more other data elements, such as Social Security number, state identification number, account number, medical information, etc. However, first and last name alone are not usually considered personal information, unless they are combined with other data elements that could identify the individual or compromise their security or privacy.Therefore, option B is the correct answer, as it is not typically included in the definition of personal information under state breach notification laws.Reference: https://www.ncsl.org/technology-and-communication/security-breach-notification-laws https://iapp.org/resources/article/state-data-breach-notification-chart/
