How North Carolina differs from the federal baseline

  • North Carolina requires breach notification without unreasonable delay and mandates notification to the Attorney General's office for breaches affecting more than 1,000 individuals.
  • North Carolina's medical records retention law requires providers to maintain records for 11 years from the date of last service for adults — among the longest retention periods in the country.
  • The NC Identity Theft Protection Act requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect personal information.

Penalty Information

Violations of the Identity Theft Protection Act are enforced under the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, with penalties of up to $5,000 per willful violation. The Attorney General can seek injunctive relief and civil penalties.
