Breach notification
Notification of Breaches of Personal Information
9 GCA §§ 48.10-48.80official Guam Code Annotated text, Compiler of Laws of Guam
In force. Binds public and private bodies.
What this law does
An individual or entity that owns or licenses computerized data including personal information must disclose a breach of the security of the system to any affected Guam resident without unreasonable delay once it discovers or is notified of the breach and reasonably believes it has caused or will cause identity theft or other fraud; an entity holding such data for another owner or licensee must instead notify that owner or licensee as soon as practicable.
Personal information is a first name or initial and last name combined with a Social Security number, a driver's license or Guam identification card number, or a financial account, credit, or debit card number together with any required access code, and it excludes information lawfully obtained from publicly available sources or government records; the definition carries no biometric-data category.
Guam added this chapter on March 13, 2009 and its own text sets the chapter's effective date at one hundred twenty days after that enactment date, without stating the resulting calendar day; the Office of the Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce it.
