Filings
| Agency | Record date | People | In total | Days to notice | Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Texas AG | Nov 13, 2026 | 19,551 | 622,126 | 31 days, statute 60 days | Record |
| California California AG | Nov 12, 2026 | Not published | 30 days, statute 30 days | Letter Record | |
| Vermont Vermont AG | Nov 12, 2026 | 43 | 30 days, statute 45 days | Record |
People is the count the filing gives, residents of the state unless marked total. Days to notice runs from the discovery date the letter states, or from the end of the breach window when no letter states one, to the date on the state's first record of the incident. "Over" marks a count past the days the state's statute allows for notice to residents. The statute's trigger is a question of fact, the days are arithmetic.
Residents by state
| State | Residents | Share of the total | Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | 19,551 | 3.1% | Nov 13, 2026 |
| Vermont | 43 | under 0.1% | Nov 12, 2026 |
The states above count 19,594 of the 622,126 people in the total. The other 602,532 are in states that publish no count or have no record yet.
The California statutory range
California: more than 500 residents. The California portal publishes no count. The Attorney General receives a sample notice only when more than 500 California residents are notified (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82(f)). Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.150 lets a consumer recover US$107 to US$799 per consumer per incident, or actual damages if greater, when personal information of the kinds the statute names is taken as a result of a business's failure to maintain reasonable security. Those are the amounts in force since Jan 1, 2025. The filings list Social Security numbers, medical information and health insurance information, which are among the kinds the statute names. A financial account number counts when it is taken with its access code.
Statutes: Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.150, amounts as adjusted by the California Privacy Protection Agency. Not legal advice.
