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.
Notice timing, state by state
- 7 days from discovery (Oct 30, 2026) to the Iowa record (Nov 6, 2026). Statute: no fixed period from discovery of the breach (Iowa Code § 715C.2).
The statutes
- Iowa: no fixed period to notify residents from discovery of the breach, Iowa Code § 715C.2. Attorney General within 5 business days of the consumer notice when more than 500 Iowa residents are affected.
