What a Wisconsin notice means

Governed by Wis. Stat. §134.98. No state agency must be notified. Affected individuals must be told within 45 days, and the national credit bureaus too when 1,000 or more people are notified; DATCP lists breaches reported to it or found to affect Wisconsin consumers.

Note: the count is Wisconsin residents only when published, not a total; many notices do not include one.
