A law firm has created an app to help counsel comply with the myriad state data breach notification requirements. From their press release:
Features of the Fox data breach app include:
- State Security Breach Statutes: An alphabetical listing of the 46 states that have data breach laws in place and links to all the relevant notification statutes.
- HIPAA/HITECH Statutes: Breach notifications rules and other pertinent information related to the loss or theft of personal health information.
- Resources: Links to credit agencies and credit monitoring services as well as the FTC website. Also, a section on COPPA – the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – and relevant information surrounding the mining of data on minors. This section also includes links to Fox’s Privacy Compliance & Data Security Blog and its HIPAA, HITECH and Health Information Technology Blog.
The app is available for free in the iTunes Store. To download it, click here.

I felt this was a nice mobile application for reference and was curious to see it.
I did not download this app as I could not find its Privacy Policy. Did anyone see the Privacy Policy for this data breach/security application?
I looked for one, too, but didn’t see it. Maybe if we downloaded it and checked the “About” link, we’d find it? But I don’t like to download first and then hope there’s a policy.
