How we help →Georgia rules
The Georgia laws that affect your IT.
A breach, a privacy request or an auditor's question lands differently in every state. Here is what Georgia asks of businesses that hold its residents' data.
Data-breach notification
- The law
- O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-910 to 10-1-912
- Telling affected people
- "The notice shall be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay" (subject to law enforcement needs and measures needed to determine the scope of the breach and restore system integrity)
- Regulators
- No Attorney General or regulator notice is required for private entities.
- Credit bureaus
- More than 10,000 Georgia residents at one time: notify all nationwide consumer reporting agencies without unreasonable delay of the timing, distribution and content of the notices.
- Encrypted data
- Encrypted data is generally exempt (a safe harbor), unless the key was also compromised.
Georgia's statute is written for information brokers and government agencies, and for businesses that maintain data on their behalf, which must tell the data owner within 24 hours. Whether it reaches other businesses is unsettled, so take legal advice before deciding a breach does not need notice.
Consumer privacy law
Georgia has no comprehensive consumer privacy law. The Georgia Consumer Privacy Protection Act (SB 111, 2025-2026 session) did not pass as a privacy bill. Its text was replaced, and the enacted SB 111 deals with rural hospitals.
Other Georgia rules worth knowing
Who: State and local government agencies (including counties, municipalities and school districts) and public, private or cooperative utilities that produce, transmit or distribute electricity, power, light, heat or gas
Report cyber attacks and similar incidents to the Director of the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS); utilities, and agencies that meet the duty through federal reporting, must notify "within two hours of making such report to the United States government."
SourceWho: Businesses that discard customer records containing personal information
Before discarding such a record, a business must shred it, erase the personal information, make the information unreadable, or take actions it reasonably believes will prevent unauthorized access to the information until the record is destroyed.

How quickly must a Georgia business notify people after a data breach?
Under O.C.G.A. §§ 10-1-910 to 10-1-912: "The notice shall be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay" (subject to law enforcement needs and measures needed to determine the scope of the breach and restore system integrity). No Attorney General or regulator notice is required for private entities. Georgia's statute is written for information brokers and government agencies, and for businesses that maintain data on their behalf, which must tell the data owner within 24 hours. Whether it reaches other businesses is unsettled, so take legal advice before deciding a breach does not need notice.
Does Georgia have a consumer privacy law?
Georgia has no comprehensive consumer privacy law. The Georgia Consumer Privacy Protection Act (SB 111, 2025-2026 session) did not pass as a privacy bill. Its text was replaced, and the enacted SB 111 deals with rural hospitals. That does not make you exempt from other states' laws: if you serve customers elsewhere, their states' rules can still apply.
