The Florida laws that affect your IT.
A breach, a privacy request or an auditor's question lands differently in every state. Here is what Florida asks of businesses that hold its residents' data.
Data-breach notification
- The law
- Fla. Stat. § 501.171 (Florida Information Protection Act of 2014)
- Telling affected people
- "no later than 30 days after the determination of a breach or reason to believe a breach occurred". Exceptions exist for an authorized law-enforcement delay or a documented no-harm determination.
- Regulators
- Department of Legal Affairs (Attorney General): required for a breach affecting 500 or more individuals in Florida, no later than 30 days after determination of the breach. An additional 15 days is available if good cause is provided in writing within the 30 days.
- Credit bureaus
- Required, without unreasonable delay, when notice is provided to more than 1,000 individuals at a single time.
- Encrypted data
- Encrypted data is generally exempt (a safe harbor), unless the key was also compromised.
Consumer privacy law
- The law
- Florida Digital Bill of Rights (SB 262, 2023; Fla. Stat. § 501.701 et seq.). It is narrowly scoped, and some trackers do not count it as a comprehensive privacy law.
- In force
- July 1, 2024
- Who it covers
- Only for-profit 'controllers' that do business in Florida and have more than $1 billion in global annual gross revenue, and that also meet at least one of the following: derive 50%+ of global gross revenue from online ad sales; operate a consumer smart speaker and voice command service; or operate an app store offering at least 250,000 apps. Most mid-market businesses are not covered.
Other Florida rules worth knowing
Who: Covered entities, governmental entities and third-party agents that hold personal information of Florida residents in electronic form.
They must take reasonable measures to protect and secure electronic personal information. Violations are enforced by the Department of Legal Affairs as unfair or deceptive trade practices, with civil penalties for late notice of up to $500,000 per breach, and the law creates no private cause of action.
SourceWho: Florida counties and municipalities.
They must adopt cybersecurity standards consistent with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and provide annual cybersecurity training. They must report ransomware incidents within 12 hours and severity-level 3-5 cybersecurity incidents within 48 hours to the state Cybersecurity Operations Center, the FDLE Cybercrime Office and the local sheriff.
