Identity Theft Act, breach notification enforcement and penalties

cite Idaho Code ยง 28-51-107 stage IMMINENT commencement not set reviewed 2026-08-28

An affected entity's own primary regulator, not a private plaintiff, enforces the notice duty: the primary regulator may bring a civil action to compel compliance and enjoin further violations, and an agency, individual, or commercial entity that intentionally fails to give notice is subject to a fine of up to $25,000 per breach. The chapter creates no private right of action.

What it asks of an app

  • Expect a violation of Idaho's breach notice duty to be enforced by your primary regulator, not by a private plaintiff.
  • Avoid an intentional failure to give required notice; it carries a civil fine of up to $25,000 per breach.
