Works out every data breach notice a company owes and the deadline for each. Give affected (how many people in each US state or country), the data types exposed (for example ssn, drivers_license, payment_card, financial_account, medical, health_insurance, username_password, biometric, passport, dob, email_address), whether the data was encrypted with the key kept safe, the date the breach was discovered, and flags: sec_registrant (US public company), sector (hipaa_covered_entity, hipaa_business_associate, glba_financial, health_app, nydfs_licensee) and role (owner, or service_provider holding data for another company). Returns each notice owed (people affected, state attorneys general, credit bureaus, HHS, SEC Form 8-K, FTC, EU and UK data protection authorities, Canada, Australia) with the deadline as a date where the law sets a fixed period, the deadline rule in words, what the notice must contain, how to send it and the official source, earliest first. Unclear cases give the SAFE answer (notice treated as required) plus what it depends on. Free.
