Overview
Hawaii Security Breach of Personal Information (Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 487N) is a state privacy and data breach notification law that establishes requirements for businesses and government agencies that collect, own, license, maintain, or process personal information of Hawaii residents. The law requires organizations to provide notice to affected individuals without unreasonable delay following the discovery of a security breach involving personal information where misuse has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur. Chapter 487N defines personal information, outlines breach notification obligations, establishes reporting requirements, and provides penalties for non-compliance. The legislation also promotes information security best practices and supports the protection of individuals from risks associated with unauthorized access, disclosure, or acquisition of personal data.
