The New Jersey Identity Theft Protection Act (ITPA)
Who is affected by ITPA?
The Act applies to all businesses operating in New Jersey and those maintaining records of personal information of New Jersey residents. The Act requires businesses to “destroy, or arrange the destruction of, a customer’s records within its custody or control containing personal information, which is no longer to be retained… by shredding, erasing, or otherwise modifying the personal information in those records to make it unreadable, undecipherable or non-reconstructable.”
Personal Information is defined as non-public information consisting of an individual’s first name or first initial and last name, in conjunction with one or more of the following:
- A social security number
- A driver’s license number or State identification card number
- A financial account number or credit or debit card number, combined with required access codes or PIN numbers
The Act also requires businesses to disclose any breach of security to any customer whose personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed by an unauthorized person. Notification must take place as expediently as possible, without unreasonable delay.
