Data breach notification

Nevada data breach notification law

Nevada handles breach notice in NRS chapter 603A, Security and Privacy of Personal Information, with the definition in 603A.040 and the duty in 603A.220.

The short version

A data collector shall disclose any breach following discovery or notification to any resident whose unencrypted personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person. The disclosure must be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement.

Two features of the Nevada text stand out. The chapter as served contains no notice to the Attorney General or to any other regulator. It also contains no risk-of-harm exception, so the duty turns on acquisition of unencrypted information rather than on a judgment about likely harm.

Personal information in 603A.040

Coverage begins with a first name or first initial and last name in combination with a listed element, when the name and data elements are not encrypted.

ElementText
Social Security numberSocial security number.
Identity documentsDriver's license, driver authorization card or identification card number.
Financial accountsAccount, credit card or debit card number with any required security code, access code or password.
Health identifiersA medical identification number or a health insurance identification number.
Online accountsA user name, unique identifier or email address with a password, access code or security question and answer.

Credit reporting agencies

The only other recipient the section names is the consumer reporting agency. If a data collector determines that notice must go to more than 1,000 persons at any one time, it shall also notify, without unreasonable delay, any consumer reporting agency. A business preparing for a large Nevada incident should plan that second mailing alongside the first.

Where ShareAndGo fits

Reconstructing exposure starts with knowing who had a file open.

For documents you share through ShareAndGo, the activity log records every view and download, and watermarked view-only pages carry the reader's email address and the date.

Each data room carries a watermark setting that is on by default. Groups see only their folders, and recipients confirm their email with a six-digit code before reading, with no account to create. Because the log is chained and exports as CSV, a Nevada team can hand the reviewer a clean list of views and downloads inside ShareAndGo.

Nevada questions

Must Nevada businesses tell the Attorney General?
Not under NRS 603A.220 as served; the section names no Attorney General or regulator notice.
Is there a harm threshold?
No. The text we checked notes no risk-of-harm exception in the section.
When do consumer reporting agencies come in?
When notice is required to more than 1,000 persons at any one time.
Are health insurance numbers covered?
Yes. A medical identification number or a health insurance identification number is on the list.
