The Letter About Your Information
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 36a-701b — notice within sixty days, and two years of identity theft protection when a Social Security number was taken
Anyone who owns, licenses or keeps computerized data with personal information notifies each Connecticut resident whose information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, breached, without unreasonable delay and not later than sixty days after discovering the breach, unless federal law requires sooner.
Who handles this in Connecticut: Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Connecticut directory.
Where the breach involved a name with a Social Security number or a taxpayer identification number, the owner offers identity theft prevention services, and mitigation services where they apply, at no cost for not less than two years, with what is needed to enroll and how to place a credit freeze.
