- Synopsis
Requires businesses (and in most cases public bodies) that own or license computerised personal information about Missouri residents to notify affected individuals after a security breach. Core timing rule: Individuals without unreasonable delay. Covered data: name plus SSN, government ID, financial account with codes, electronic identifier/routing code, medical and health insurance data.
- Key themes
- Unique features
Includes medical and health insurance information; AG has exclusive enforcement authority.
- SaaS relevance
A SaaS provider hosting customer data is usually the 'maintaining' entity, not the owner: Missouri requires the maintaining entity to notify the owner immediately following discovery. The owner customer then carries the individual and regulator notices, so contracts should fix timelines and cooperation.
