Regulator: Wyoming Attorney General ('AG')

Summary: Wyoming does not currently have a law in place that specifically regulates data protection and consumer privacy. However, the Wyoming Consumer Protection Act generally protects individuals against unfair and deceptive practices, and the Consumer Protection Unit of the AG has the authority to examine, among other things, consumer privacy invasions. Moreover, Article 5 on Credit Freeze Reports of the Consumer Protection Act provides a breach notification requirement in the event of an unauthorised acquisition of computerised data maintained by a person or business, and which is believed to cause loss or injury to a resident of Wyoming. In such cases, affected data subjects must be notified without unreasonable delay, with the AG having the authority to bring enforcement actions for non-compliance.
